While many enjoy the beauty of home-grown flowers, not everyone can afford the hefty price tag of creating an elaborate floral retreat. Luckily, there are discount flower bulbs available for the budget-conscience.
One option is to order wholesale. Some companies will offer wholesale prices to consumers if they meet a minimum order requirement. Colorblends, for example, offers wholesale prices to consumers with a $50 minimum order.
Many stores will offer discounts if you are willing to buy a large quantity. Most stores do not advertise this policy, so it never hurts to ask. When shopping for discount flower bulbs, it's a good idea to leave your shyness at home!
Another way to buy cheap flower bulbs is to catch sales and incentives. American Meadows, for example, offers incentives for ordering early. If you order your bulbs in the spring or early summer, you receive a 50% discount; orders placed in fall are regular priced.
