"I'm near Edmonton, Alberta (zone 3). Can easily have snow and COLD temps in September. Placed large bulb order Spring of 2021. Requested order be shipped at FIRST possible opportunity, due to early cold temps. Had frost and order STILL had not shipped, so fortunately was able to cancel.
Tried Breck's again Spring of 2023. Same time, ordered other bulbs from Vessey's. The Vessey order arrive 3 weeks before the Brecks order. Doubtful of bulbs will have time to establish themselves before freeze up. OH - Vessey shipping no more than Brecks. Vessey via Canada Post express, so arrived in 3 days. breck's shipping took nearly 2 weeks and tracking information was DAYs behind actual shipment progress. Ordered some 5-10-5 granular bulb food from Brecks. After it arrive and I saw how SMALL the package was, I did a little research. SIX times as expensive as 3 other possible suppliers. I'll be using OTHER companies from now on."
