I wandered into The Home Depot this morning to buy a painting stick and noticed their giant display of spring flowering bulbs on sale for half off. Wahooooo! I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting for those suckers to go on sale ever since I spotted them at The Home Depot this past August.
Tulips, daffodils, irises, alliums, anemones, crocus bulbs, you name it… it’s on sale for half off.
So if you are looking to add to your bulb collection, or start a new one, head on over {or call} your local Home Depot because now is the time to stock up baby!
Guess what I’ll be doing this weekend? 😉

Yo Mavis–Any good instructions on how to force bulbs indoors? I have tried forcing tulips indoors in water but have been unsuccessful, due mainly to spindly greens and little/no flowers. I am going back to get the 50% off bulbs this weekend and need a little advice.
Thanks and I read your blog everyday. I really appreciate your candor, advice and tips. Keep it up.

I love this time of year when all the bulbs go on sale!!! I bet the family who purchased your old house will be so happy when all of your bulbs come up this spring! I just moved to the east coast and rented my home in WA. The family that moved into my home will be blessed with many…many tulips this spring. Now I need to plant where I live now. Hoping that the deer don’t eat what I plant ;). Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

Kris, Deer, then no tulips for you then, nor daylilies. Lots of daffs and crocus, if you can keep the squirrels away from crocus. Good luck!

Ooo!! Sale time! Might have to hunt for some bulbs on sale this weekend. We’re renting right now, but it doesn’t curb my desire to plant.

Hi Mavis, I read your blog everyday …and love to follow your gardening and everything else you share with us. I was wondering if costco also has a good deal on bulbs. I think I saw a 50 ct bag for 11.99. There were several varieties. Thanks!
Mavis Butterfield says
Sadly I have purchased bulbs from Costco in the past and have not had any success with them so I don’t buy bulbs there anymore. 🙁

Thanks for the info Mavis ! I have had bad experience with their avocados and bell peppers but have never purchased bulbs yet. Thanks for saving me from being sad next year :D…

Mavis,
Based upon your Home Depot 50% notice, I stopped by. They were marked 25% off, so picked up just two bags. (Cash flow issues.) When I checked out [went to staffed lane, I dislike the do it yourself ones], I looked at the amount (25%) and said I was told they were 50%.
Wohoo, the clerk changed the tape and sold them at 50%off!. She didn’t ask me WHO told me they were 50% off! Way to go Mavis!!!!
