Our Quality Guarantee
We guarantee to ship you top quality bulbs that are true to name and are
healthy, firm and viable for planting. You will receive your flower bulbs at
the proper time for fall planting in your area. Some flower bulb varieties
(Amaryllis, Eremurus and Lilies) are harvested later than others, so orders
are occasionally split-shipped. Please notify us immediately (within ten
days of delivery) should there by any problem with your shipment. We cannot
be held responsible for losses due to: extreme weather conditions, improper
storage conditions, delayed planting, improper site conditions, improper
climate plantings, forcing, pre-chilling, planting in raised beds or for any
costs other than the actual cost of the bulbs. In the event that a
particular variety is not available for horticultural reasons, we will
inform you and suggest alternate varieties for your consideration at the
earliest possible time. We do not make automatic substitutions.

Terms of Sale
- Customer concerns regarding shipments should reach us within ten
days of receipt of order.
- When you receive your order, open the exterior and interior cartons
immediately. Inspect your shipment against your packing slip. Often, smaller
bags are inserted inside the inner boxes of other varieties for protection
during shipment. Inform us immediately (within 10 days) of any shipment
errors.
- Inspect your bulbs carefully. Some bulbs may develop a natural
blue-green mold when harvested and exposed to air. This "transportation"
mold disappears once the bulbs are planted and is not harmful. Other
varieties may develop surface moisture that is wicked back into the soil
once planted. Small cuts or scars may be visible from machine harvest and do
not affect performance. The bulb's outer skin may not be fully intact or
attached. This does not affect performance.
- Prior to planting, store flower bulbs with good air circulation, low
humidity and away from heat, frost and strong sunlight at a temperature of
50oF to 70oF. All outdoors bulbs must be planted before the winter to bloom
reliably the following spring.
- Flower bulbs are perishable products. Returns are not accepted
unless authorized in advance by John Scheepers within three days of receipt
of order. There is a 20% restocking fee for returned orders and for orders
canceled after shipment. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable.
- Flower bulbs should be planted in neutral pH soil with appropriate
sunlight and good water drainage after ground temperature has chilled to
about 55oF, normally after a killing frost. Flower bulbs should be selected
according to horticultural zone compatibility. In horticultural zones 8
through 10, flower bulbs should be chilled at 38oF to 45oF for ten to 12
weeks prior to planting.
- In the spring, new plantings may bloom up to two weeks later than
mature, established plantings. Flower bulbs grow and bloom in response to
soil and air temperature regardless of the calendar date. Listed bloom times
are for horticultural zone 5 in "normal" spring conditions. During a heat
spike, flowers may bloom short and small if the bud is set, but will
continue growing while in bloom.
