I bought some paperwhites at walmart and they did not hatch at all; the vegetable seed packets are also of inferior quality, so cheap is not necessary best.

I bought around $40.00 worth of Dahlia bulbs from Home Depot because they had the best deal. Then I went to the botanic garden/ dahlia society dahlia bulb sale and bought $20.00 of bulbs. To my unhappy surprise the home depot bulbs had bugs living in the packages foraging on the bulbs and to my knowledge only about one home depot bulb has actually grown into a recognizable dahlia, although still small. The others were so weak, they sent up thin little spindles of plants but nothing like a real dahlia. On the other hand the bulbs from the Dahlia society all came out beautifully. Also the dahlia society bulbs did not turn out to be that expensive. So I will not buy bulbs from home depot because I just wasted my hard earned money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-39334676250364754582007-04-02T11:06:00.000-05:002007-04-02T11:06:00.000-05:00Sounds as if you found some good deals. Home depot...Sounds as if you found some good deals. Home depot sells bulbs cheaply here - the walmarts here have less selection (mostly what bugs me is they sell plants that would never survive in our zone). I doubt that's a problem in most areas, but we have to watch it here (zone 2 and sometimes 3)katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-29634564263120074762007-04-02T01:41:00.000-05:002007-04-02T01:41:00.000-05:00You've made some great finds!

Last year I bought a black Calla Lily from Lowes and I signed up for their garden club, and they've sent me calendars and some home and garden magazine, but no coupons yet. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out the Home Depot version of the club.
