Plants can be planted in many different ways. From seeds to bulbs and corms, gardeners have a range of methods to get plants growing and thriving. We offer a variety of bulbs and corms, from flowers to garlic, that provide quick planting processes and guaranteed true-to-type plants. It's important to remember that timing is critical when planting any bulb, as it's a live part of a plant. For the best results, ensure that your live plant matter is planted quickly and in ideal conditions. The history of planting flower bulbs goes back millions of years and can be traced to the early interest in plant exploration during the 15th century. Plant matter, often in the form of bulbs, was transported across the world on ships by plant explorers who coveted these rare and exciting plants. Tulips, for example, caused a mania in the 16th century, with gardeners around the globe planting these exotic plants. As the desire and commercial need for these plants increased, more efficient methods of transportation were created, allowing gardeners from Europe to the Americas to enjoy these beauties. The commercialization of bulbs continued to expand and has now developed into the vast global industry we recognize today. At San Diego Seed Company, our goal is to source, grow, and test 100% US-grown Dahlias, Ranunculus, garlic, and other bulbs. We work closely with farmers and cultivate on our farm to ensure the highest quality of plant matter for your garden and farm. It's our goal to continue expanding our offering of unique, organic, and locally sourced bulbs, focusing on varieties that thrive in hot climates.
