布瑞克苗圃 1818 年创立与荷兰直采传承
布瑞克苗圃 Breck’s(官方网站 https://www.brecks.com)创立于 1818 年,是美国经营历史最悠久的荷兰球茎邮购苗圃之一,也是全美最大的荷兰进口球茎分销商。两个多世纪以来,Breck’s 始终坚持”Direct to you from Holland since 1818″的承诺,将荷兰肥沃土地上培育的顶级球茎直接送至北美家庭园丁门口。苗圃在荷兰海利根(Hillegom 等主产区)设有常驻采购团队,由 Edwin Visser 领衔的 Holland Office 全年驻守,与当地种植者和专业育种者保持紧密合作,每到收获季亲赴田间逐品种抽检,只挑选 top-size cream-of-the-crop 级别的种球——按 Breck’s 标准,每 20 颗进口球茎中仅有 1 颗能通过筛选(”1 in 20″)获得品牌背书,再由美国俄亥俄州温室承接盆栽与多年生植物培育,形成”荷兰田间 + 美国温室”的双引擎供应链。

Founding Heritage: 1818 Founding and Two Centuries of Direct Dutch Sourcing
Breck’s (official site https://www.brecks.com) was founded in 1818, making it one of the longest-established Dutch-bulb mail-order nurseries in the United States and the largest U.S. importer of Dutch flower bulbs. For more than two centuries the company has lived by its slogan “Direct to you from Holland since 1818,” shipping top-size bulbs hand-selected from the fertile fields of the Netherlands straight to gardeners’ doors across North America. The firm maintains a year-round purchasing office in Holland led by Director Edwin Visser, whose team visits Dutch growers and specialized hybridizers field-by-field, inspecting at every stage of development and negotiating the best price for North American customers. At harvest time the inspectors reject roughly 19 of every 20 bulbs (the “1 in 20” quality standard) so that only cream-of-the-crop, top-size specimens ever carry the Breck’s name. The catalog is then completed domestically at the company’s U.S. greenhouses, where perennials and potted gift plants are finished for North American conditions—a true two-engine supply chain that links Dutch field selection to American greenhouse finishing.
Cultivar Catalog: Fall-Planted, Spring-Planted, Perennial, Rose and Garden-Inspired Gift Lines
Breck’s catalog is organized into five major merchandising lines. The fall-planted / spring-flowering bulb line covers Tulips (Darwin Hybrid, Parrot, Triumph, Fringed, Viridiflora, Wild, Species, Single, Double, Lily Flowering, Bicolor, Multi-Flowering, Bouquet and Mixes), Daffodils (Double, Fragrant, Trumpet, Split Corona, Tazetta, Jonquilla, Large-Cupped, Small-Cupped, Miniature, Naturalizing, Poeticus, Cyclamineus, Cupped, Bicolor, Pink, Orange, Yellow, White and Mixes), Crocus, Grape Hyacinth Muscari, Fritillaria, Snowdrops, Anemone, Hyacinth, Spanish Bells, Cyclamen, Allium and Stinzenplants. The spring-planted / summer-flowering line covers Dahlia (Dinnerplate, Cactus and Semi-Cactus, Decorative, Ball and Pompon, Collarette, Waterlily, Single-Flowered, Fimbriata, Patio/Border, Beach Ball, Powder-Puff, Giant-Ball, XXL/Wow! and Mixes), Gladiolus (Glamini dwarf, Hardy, Forever), Calla Lily, Canna, Lily (Asiatic, Oriental, Trumpet, Double, Carpet, Lily Tree, Pollen-Free, Species, Mixes, Liber Lilies, Pink, White and Collections), Begonia, Elephant Ear, Caladium, Ranunculus, Agapanthus, Alstroemeria and Amaryllis. The perennial line is split into Shade (Astilbe, Bleeding Hearts Dicentra, Fern, Helleborus, Heuchera, Hosta broken into Giant, Miniature/Dwarf, Slug-Resistant, Sun-Tolerant, Fragrant, Rippled and Ruffles, Colour-Changing, Modestly-Priced, Hosta of the Year and Breck’s Favourites, plus Lily-of-the-Valley, Toad Lily, Wild Tulip ground covers and shade perennial Collections) and Sun (Daylily with Rebloomer, Fragrant, Spider, Dwarf, Doubles, Ruffled, Super Bloomer, Wow, Fancy Faces and Award-Winning; Iris with Bearded, Dutch, Siberian, Japanese, Rebloomer, Bulbous, Dwarf, Fragrant, Bicolor, Laced, Plicata, Zebra, Other and Jumbo; Peony with Itoh, Tree, All-Weather, Fragrant, Historic, Award-Winners, Best-for-Cutting, Patio, Specialty, Mixtures, Pink, Red, White, Yellow and Wow; plus Aster, Bee Balm, Columbine, Coneflower, Echinacea, Hardy Geranium, Hibiscus, Hollyhock, Milkweed Asclepias, Salvia, Sedum, Yarrow, Liatris, Red Hot Poker, Oriental Poppy, Helenium, Astrantia, Gaillardia, Clematis, Foxglove, Sea Holly, Spider Daylily and Liatris). Weeks Roses supply Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Grandiflora, Climbing, Shrub, Tree, Groundcover, Patio, Garden Miniature, Jumbo Bareroot, Downton Abbey and Roses Collections. The Breck’s Gifts line covers living gifts (Waxed Amaryllis, Bulb Garden, Triple/Duo Amaryllis Lovers, Potted Amaryllis), seasonal decor, solar and wind lighting, birding supplies, gardening books, fertilizers, gardening tools and insecticides, giving the catalog year-round relevance from early spring bulbs through the holiday season.
Multi-Generational Home Gardeners, Canadian Customers and Wholesale Buyers
Breck’s core customer base is multi-generational American home gardeners—the firm proudly notes that many current shoppers’ mothers, aunts and grandfathers were Breck’s gardeners too, making the catalog a living family tradition. Beyond retail gardeners, the nursery serves Canadian gardening enthusiasts and wholesale buyers across the continent. The website organizes the entire catalog by USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 10 for spring bulbs, summer bulbs, shade perennials, sun perennials and roses (e.g. roses-zone3 through roses-zone10, shade-perennials-zone3 through zone10, spring-bulbs-zone3 through zone10, summer-bulbs-zone3 through zone10 and sun-perennials-zone3 through zone10), letting gardeners in every climate band find varieties pre-filtered for their conditions. Breck’s also cultivates an active publishing and breeder community: the Holland office’s Edwin Visser regularly publishes field reports, variety recommendations, and zone-by-zone planting advice; dedicated pages profile partner breeders such as Christian Bedard (iris), Jozef Weyts, Janus Verschoor, Peter Geerlings, Arie Blom, Kitty de Jong, Theo Janssen, Piet Hermans, Bram Breugem, Marco van Noort, Jan Pennings, Liber Lily Hybridizers, Patrick van den Berg, Eric Breed, Peter Podaras, Theo Ammerlaan and the Breck’s Dahlia Hybridizer program. A free annual catalog can be requested in print or digital form (including the Breck’s Dahlia Lovers Catalog), backed by email subscribe, monthly email preferences and a digital-catalog archive, giving the company a year-round publishing presence despite its primarily remote, mail-order and digital retail model.
Planting and Care Library plus the No-Risk Lifetime Guarantee
Breck’s publishes a dedicated Planting Guide for Spring Bulbs, Fall Bulbs, Peonies, Lilies, Dahlias, Daylilies, Roses and Iris, and a how_to_landscaping_with_bulbs series organized by Bloom Time, Color, Size, Uses, Design Ideas, Naturalizing and Cutting. The general bulb and perennial care framework rests on five principles: fertilize when stems and foliage emerge in spring; water deeply whenever natural rainfall is less than one inch per week; mulch year-round with compost, leafmould or pine needles to stabilize soil temperature and suppress weeds; deadhead after bloom and let foliage yellow naturally so the bulb can rebuild for the next year; and let Daffodils, Crocus, Scillas and Grape Hyacinths naturalize undisturbed for many years while hybrid Tulips and Dahlias are lifted, divided and replanted every three to four years to prevent overcrowding. Every Breck’s order is backed by the No-Risk Lifetime Guarantee. If any bulb, bareroot or potted plant fails to satisfy the customer—on receipt, after planting, or once it grows and blooms—the gardener can contact the company at any time, with no time limit and no return shipping required, and receive either a free replacement or merchandise credit. Gardening tools and outdoor décor carry a 60-day return window; living gifts such as Waxed Amaryllis and Bulb Garden are guaranteed for 30 days under recommended care. U.S. Customer Service stands by 24/7 via the Customer Service phone and email published on the no_risk_guarantee page, with order_status tracking, shipping_charges, shipping_methods and how_and_where_we_ship pages detailing FedEx and UPS ground delivery to all 50 U.S. states and across Canada.
