Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The current trend of growing your own cut flowers has brought back into frenzied popularity many varieties that are actually grown from bulbs.
Bulbs are easy to plant and simple to grow if you have some guidance, but none of the bestselling titles currently on the market give much guidance on how to actually tend and grow and care for bulbs beyond the few varieties they use in their own particular aesthetics, often dahlias and chrysanthemums. But from bulbs, corms, and tubers come an astonishing variety of possibilities including colors, shapes and leaf qualities. While most gardeners are only familiar with the early show of spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips or the late show of gladiolus, this class of plants can actually provide three-season color and quite economically.
Bulbs are also valuable for small gardens and are easy to use in pots, where they can be changed out to bring seasonal drama.
An absolute must read for any gardener who wants to grow bulbs in the garden or containers, THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO BULBS is a gorgeously photographed, comprehensive, and inviting resource that is destined to be a gardening classic. Bulbs have a universal appeal-they are extremely diverse with many varieties to choose from, and they are great in containers. While many gardeners may be familiar with the early show of spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips or the late show of gladiolus, there are so many more to choose from that provide three-season color, drama, and spontaneity in the garden. Plus, they're fairly economical, great for a tighter budget.
In this book, gardeners will discover:
- How to notice what bulbs you love and personalize your garden to match your vision
- Planting techniques and design ideas for growing bulbs in any size garden
- Incorporating bulbs for pollinators, and the importance of ecological methods
- Tips for creating a brilliant bulb container garden in every season
- A wide array of bulb varieties with in-depth planting information
