Pre-loved Lily Bulbs

Pre-loved Lily Bulbs

Pre-loved Lily Bulbs are a by-product of our cut flower lily production. Because we like to start with fresh bulbs each year for the best possible flower production and for control of flowering time, all our used lily bulbs are available at a really low price compared with normal lily bulb prices. You'll never buy lilies as cheap as this.

Planted in the garden, these bulbs will settle in and grow again from winter onwards. They will have fewer buds in their first season as they recover from cut flower production and being shifted to your garden, but will be back to full strength the next season.

In the past our lilies have been only planted in bulb crates using surplus potting mix and sold in the crates once the flowers have been picked. Last summer we were short of used potting mix and many lilies were planted directly in greenhouse soil. These bulbs have all been harvested and are now for sale. Unlike the bulbs in crates which are sold only as crate lots of around 16 bulbs, these have been bagged in packs of ten bulbs and we're able to offer them nationwide as they are much less bulky than the crate lots of the past.

Due to the additional costs of harvesting and packing these bulbs we have to charge more for them than the crate lots and they are $1.50 per bulb, still less than a third of the normal price of lily bulbs.
