苗圃沿革与 1912 年荷兰 Schipper 家族三代传承的球茎批发分销

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs 是美国康涅狄格州 Bridgeport 第三代家族球茎批发分销商，属于 Schipper & Company USA 子品牌。Schipper & Company 1912 年创立于荷兰北荷兰省 Hoogkarspel，最初是 Cornelis Schipper 创办的家族球茎种植与贸易公司。Schipper 团队 1935 年合影记录了 Dirk Schipper、Cees van Zwaag、Jan Manshanden、Paul Buysman 与 Nicolaas Schipper 在 Hoogkarspel 球茎田的家族传承起点。二战结束后，Cornelis Schipper 带着荷兰球茎业务渡海到美国康涅狄格州 Bridgeport 开创美国市场，他与妻子 Sabine 养育的五个孩子中最小的儿子 Tim Schipper 继承家族传统，成为新一代球茎商人，把 Schipper & Company USA 发展成今天的 Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs 品牌。 Colorblends 至今仍由 Schipper 家族持有，仍向 50 年前 Cornelis 拜访过的部分老客户发货。新一代家族在此基础上创新了混色花球茎调和配方（Blend）：由郁金香、水仙及其他球茎组成 2-3 个品种以上的协调混合，让春季花境呈现地毯式震撼效果。苗圃品牌口号 Our Roots…Are Bulbs® 体现家族与球茎种植的深度绑定。Colorblends 自 1987 年起担任 GCSAA（高球球场主管协会 Golf Course Superintendents Association of America）成员，最初正是通过把预混郁金香组合销售给高球球场起步。

品种体系与混色花球茎调和配方的专业批发目录

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs 主营春花球茎批发分销，核心产品线是 Freestyle™ Tulip Blend 预混郁金香组合，每 100 球一袋为美丽展示的最低数量。除混色郁金香组合外，苗圃还提供单一品种批发：Tulips 郁金香、Daffodils 水仙、Hyacinths 风信子、Alliums 大花葱、Specialty Bulbs 特色球茎（包括 Amaryllises 与 Paperwhites 纸白水仙）以及 Planting Tools 球茎种植工具。Colorblends 在荷兰田间挑选最有潜力的新品种，先在康涅狄格州 Bridgeport 试验花园测试花色、株型、株高与花期，确认在美土壤适应后才上架销售，所有球茎均通过 USDA 与荷兰或英国农业部健康证认证，绝非野外采集。 批发采用三层定价模式：景观承包商、园艺设计师、景观建筑师、高球球场主管、园艺场地主管、动物园园艺师与种植者享受 wholesale prices 批发价；高用量客户通过 Volume Quotes 申请批量报价；常规客户建立信用后申请 Net 30 30 天账期。苗圃仅设 $60 最低订单门槛。Colorblends 春季景观展示专员积累数十年球茎处理与发货经验，与单纯销售球茎的批发商不同，把每一份订单视作春季景观艺术作品。

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs is a third-generation family-owned bulb wholesale distributor based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, operating as a Schipper & Company USA sub-brand. The nursery specializes in Freestyle™ Tulip Blend pre-blended tulip combinations, spring-flowering bulb wholesale for landscape professionals, and serves GCSAA golf course trade plus ambitious residential gardeners across the lower 48 US states. Its roots trace to 1912 Hoogkarspel, North Holland, founded by Cornelis Schipper, who brought Dutch bulb business to Bridgeport, Connecticut after World War II and developed it into a 50-plus-year family bulb wholesale trade.

Founding Heritage and 1912 Dutch Schipper Family Three-Generation Bulb Wholesale

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs is a third-generation family-owned bulb wholesale distributor based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, part of Schipper & Company USA. Schipper & Company was founded in 1912 in Hoogkarspel, North Holland, the Netherlands, as a family bulb growing and trading house by Cornelis Schipper. The 1935 Schipper team photograph records Dirk Schipper, Cees van Zwaag, Jan Manshanden, Paul Buysman, and Nicolaas Schipper standing in a Hoogkarspel bulb field, marking the family tradition’s starting point. After World War II, Cornelis Schipper crossed the Atlantic to bring Dutch bulb business to Bridgeport, Connecticut, opening the US market. Among the five children he and his wife Sabine raised, their youngest son Tim Schipper inherited the family tradition as a new-generation bulb merchant, growing Schipper & Company USA into today’s Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs brand. Colorblends remains family-owned by the Schipper family to this day, and still ships bulbs to some of the same customers Cornelis visited 50 years ago. The new generation innovated on that legacy with the Freestyle™ Tulip Blend concept: coordinated mixtures of tulips, daffodils, and other bulbs combining two, three, or more varieties for jaw-dropping, car-stopping spring displays. The nursery brand tagline Our Roots…Are Bulbs® embodies the deep family bond with bulb growing. Colorblends has been a GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendents Association of America) member since 1987, in fact the company got its start by marketing its concept of pre-blended tulip combinations to golf courses.

Cultivar Catalog and the Freestyle Tulip Blend Specialty Wholesale Line

Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs specializes in spring-flowering bulb wholesale distribution, with the Freestyle™ Tulip Blend pre-blended tulip combinations as the core product line, packed in quantities of 100 as the minimum needed for a beautiful display. Beyond blended tulip combinations, the nursery offers single-variety wholesale on Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinths, Alliums, Specialty Bulbs (including Amaryllises and Paperwhites), and Planting Tools. Colorblends identifies promising varieties in the fields of the Netherlands, then tests color, form, height, and bloom time in the trial gardens in Bridgeport, Connecticut before listing them on colorblends.com. All bulbs carry USDA and either Dutch or British Department of Agriculture health certificates, and none are collected from the wild. The wholesale structure uses a three-tier pricing model: landscape contractors, garden designers, landscape architects, golf course superintendents, grounds managers, zoo horticulturists, and growers enjoy wholesale prices; high-volume customers apply for Volume Quotes; established regular customers apply for Net 30 terms after a credit application. The minimum order is set at $60. The Colorblends spring display specialists, with decades of accumulated experience in handling and shipping bulbs, treat every order as a piece of spring landscape art, distinct from plain bulb re-sellers.

Landscape Professional and GCSAA Golf Course Trade Customer Base

Colorblends has served landscape professionals for more than 50 years: landscape contractors, garden designers, landscape architects, golf course superintendents, grounds managers, zoo horticulturists, professional growers, and ambitious residential gardeners. All customers share the same wholesale prices and the same cultivar catalog, with no differentiated minimum order. Colorblends extends pre-approved credit to all GCSAA members as a long-term token of thanks to the early golf course supporters; GCSAA members may reserve bulbs at their convenience, with invoices mailed after fall delivery. The nursery also offers landscape professionals exclusive marketing tools: a 20-page full-color SpringDisplays printed booklet (without Colorblends branding or pricing, for landscapers to present options to clients), the SpringDisplays digital catalog website (no brand, no pricing), an unbranded product line PDF download, and multi-client/multi-project order management via Wishlist (emails sent directly to clients from the landscaper’s own address). Connecticut, downstate New York, northern New Jersey, and Long Island customers may pick up orders at the Bridgeport warehouse for real-time expert advice and in-stock alternative suggestions. Customer feedback shows Colorblends service spans residential gardens, university teaching gardens, city parks, landscape architecture firms, and private golf courses. The nursery exhibits at 2026 industry trade shows including MANTS (Baltimore, January 7-9), Plant-O-Rama (Brooklyn, January 27), Total Pro Expo (New Jersey, January 27-28), iLandscape (Illinois, February 25-27), Tri-State Green Industry Conference (Cincinnati, February 5), and PGMS Regional Conference (Philadelphia, August 3-4).

Bulb Planting Guide and First-Spring Guarantee plus Prechilling Service

Colorblends bulbs arrive in the United States in mid-September, with deliveries beginning the last week of September. The optimal planting time for tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and other spring-flowering bulbs runs late September through December, when soil temperatures drop to about 55°F. The nursery ships to colder areas first, working its way south and west as the weather cools. USDA Zones 7b and warmer in the South and California have insufficient winter chill; gardeners and landscapers there must prechill bulbs in a refrigerator at 35-45°F for 6-10 weeks before late-fall planting (late November to early January). Colorblends offers an official Prechilling Service: when the bulbs requiring prechilling on a single order exceed two crates (the space occupied by 1200 tulip bulbs), the nursery chills them until shipment for a flat $50 fee covering handling and electricity. The Colorblends Guarantee promises premium-quality, commercially propagated, disease-free flowerbulbs of the stated size, none collected from the wild, all carrying USDA and either Dutch or British Department of Agriculture health certificates. After-sale cultivation guidance covers after-bloom care, shade-tolerant selection, warm-climate special cultivation, container planting risks, perennial reblooming, planting depth, bulb storage temperature (50-60°F ideal, 35-70°F acceptable), and pallet shipment (≥6,000 tulip or ≥2,000 full-size daffodil) for landscape trade. The nursery serves the lower 48 US states only and does not ship to Canada.
