Our 2026 bulb pre-sale consist of lots in 50 count bulb bags for tulips and 25 to 50 count bulb bags for daffodils, hyacinths, allium, muscari and more! Please refer to the bulb item description for confirmation. Bulbs are not sold individually to give the best affordability to our customers. Pre-sale means we are selling in the spring for direct shipment from Holland in the fall. This offers the widest and most complete selection at this time while also getting to see your favorite varieties in person while visiting Pella in late April and/or attending Tulip Time.

This sale will host the full availability of all Spring Bulbs until June 15th, 2026. Farmer Meredith continues to curate unique collections based on her love and curiosity for nature, fresh-cut farmer selects and Tulip Time festival favorites. Many tulip varieties planted around the City of Pella and at the Pella Historical Museum Gardens are included in the full sale. Unfortunately we were not able to secure EVERY VARIETY planted, but most! If you find a tulip you like, please cross check with our varieties listed online. If we do not have on our website, it will not be for sale this year unfortunately.
