"this is one of my favorite flowering bulbs and was surprised to find it still offered after the holidays. This is a container filled with at least 30 bulb shoots, arriving in good condition. Add water and wait for results.
Am happy!!
Container is attractive as well..."

Not worth it,
January 14, 2013
By: mrf1
from Denver, CO
"Ordered this as a Christmas present for my mom. Package arrived on time and was in good shape. Everything came up and was looking promising (she's a master gardener) but never looked like the product pictured. The flowers don't last but a few days, the fragrance is very faint and the entire arrangement looks sparse and mostly just leaves. I would not order this product again."

Disappointed with floppy, too-soon blooms,
January 9, 2013
By: AdkAunt
from Upstate NY
"I ordered this on 11/25, it was delivered on 12/5, and by 12/15, the bulbs had all bloomed. When the pot arrived, the bulbs were already a few inches tall and by 12/25, the flowers were fading. I'd originally purchased this as a gift for my husband's grandmother; I would have been embarrassed to give this to her and found her another gift.
The instructions say "Blossoms should appear in 3 to 4 weeks"; mine bloomed in 10 days and faded in under 20 days. Also, the stems were very sparse and 'leggy' and flopped all over - not anywhere near as attractive as the picture in the listing. I would not purchase this again."

"This product is lovely with it's white blossoms which bloomed very soon after delivery - in time for Christmas.
It is a bit pricey (at reg. price) and seemed smaller that picture. But, it was the perfect gift!"

Not happy,
December 30, 2012
By: RagMop
"There were no directions with the planter
Should the papers be removed from the soil?
I ordered early as suggested in the catalogue, wanted it for a gift, but it bloomed in the carton before Christmas"

By: beecmm
from Salisbury, MD
"The Star-of-Bethlehem Garden looked as if it would be a perfect gift for friend who loves her garden, to enjoy indoors now and outdoors year after year. It came very well packed and protected from harm and drying out. Some sprouts were just beginning to break the surface of the soil, and in a couple of days, one had flowered - just in time to give it as a lovely gift."

"I received this planter filled with star of Bethlehem bulbs. They started blooming in about 5 days and are still beautiful. I will plant the bulbs in the spring and I will enjoy them every year thereafter in my flower garden."
