Where do Breck’s bulbs come from?

Breck’s bulbs come all the way from the beautiful and fertile fields of Holland, also known as the Netherlands. Holland has long been renowned for its expertise in bulb cultivation and is considered the bulb capital of the world. The Dutch have been growing and exporting bulbs for centuries, and their expertise and dedication to producing high-quality bulbs have made them the leaders in the industry.

As the largest U.S. importer of Dutch bulbs, Breck’s has established strong relationships with trusted Dutch growers who share their commitment to excellence. These growers carefully cultivate the bulbs, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and meet Breck’s strict standards. The Dutch growers have honed their techniques over generations, utilizing their knowledge of soil conditions, climate, and optimal growing practices to produce the best bulbs possible.

One of the reasons why Dutch bulbs are so highly regarded is because of the unique climate and soil conditions in Holland. The mild maritime climate, with its cool summers and mild winters, provides the perfect conditions for bulb growth. The sandy soil in Holland is well-draining, which is essential for bulb development and prevents rotting. These favorable natural conditions, combined with the expertise of Dutch growers, result in bulbs that are healthy, robust, and capable of producing stunning flowers.

When it comes to the varieties of bulbs available from Breck’s, the options are vast and diverse. From tulips and daffodils to hyacinths and crocuses, Breck’s offers a wide range of bulbs to suit every gardener’s preferences. The Dutch growers carefully select and cultivate each variety, ensuring that they are true to type and will produce the beautiful blooms that customers expect.

Breck’s bulbs are not only sourced from Holland but also from other reputable bulb-producing regions around the world. This allows Breck’s to offer an even wider selection of bulbs to their customers. However, the majority of their bulbs still come from Holland due to the country’s long-standing reputation for producing the finest bulbs.

At Breck’s, the commitment to quality doesn’t end with sourcing the bulbs. They take great care in packaging and shipping the bulbs to ensure they arrive in excellent condition. Each bulb is carefully inspected and packaged to protect it during transit. This attention to detail is what sets Breck’s apart and ensures that customers receive bulbs that are ready to thrive and bloom in their gardens.

In my personal experience as a gardener, I have always been delighted with the bulbs I’ve received from Breck’s. The size and quality of the bulbs have always exceeded my expectations, and the resulting blooms have been nothing short of spectacular. Breck’s dedication to sourcing bulbs from Holland and their commitment to quality truly shines through in the exceptional bulbs they provide.

Breck’s bulbs come from the bulb capital of the world, Holland, where they are carefully cultivated by expert Dutch growers. The unique climate and soil conditions in Holland, combined with the growers’ expertise, result in bulbs that are of the highest quality. Breck’s commitment to excellence is evident in every bulb they source, package, and deliver, making them the trusted choice for thousands of gardeners.
