About Gee Tee Bulb Company
Gee Tee Bulb Company is a family-owned business that has been selling wholesale bulbs since 1961. We supply a full range of flower bulbs, from the humble Daffodil to the more obscure and unusual species and varieties.
With more than half a century of trading behind us, we’ve become the supplier of choice for parks, local councils, landscapers and commercial buyers. But as well as trade professionals, we also offer first-class flower bulbs to private users looking for quantity, quality and good value.
Our history
The Teeuw family has been connected with the bulb industry for nearly 80 years, both in Holland and Spalding, England.
In 1935, Gerit Teeuw came over from Holland, set up a wholesale company selling bulbs to stores, and went on to build up a successful business in only a few years.
These days, the industry is rather different – but we’re still a family-run business. Now in its third generation, we work hard to keep up to date with current landscaping and gardening trends.
Gee Tee Bulb Company is a thoroughly modern business that’s big enough to offer wide range of flower bulbs at competitive prices but small enough to deal with our customers on a one-to-one basis.
Our bulbs
With our many years of experience and large volumes of bulbs sold, we are able to combine the highest-quality bulbs with the lowest prices.
Gee Tee Bulb Company imports flower bulbs (Tulips, Crocus, Hyacinths, Daffodil/Narcissus and most miscellaneous bulbs) from our trusted, longstanding suppliers in north-west Holland. Over many years, we have developed strong and reliable relationships with them to ensure our bulbs are of the highest quality. All our Dutch bulbs are monitored and quality controlled by strict government regulations.
Our range of Large Flowered Daffodils, however, are grown locally by farmers in Lincolnshire. We work closely with them to ensure the highest standards throughout the whole process of lifting, drying and grading.
We are also lucky to be close to many nurseries in the area. Our UK Bluebells are grown locally, and our in the green stocks are exclusively grown in Britain.
Gee Tee Bulb Company uses only cultivated, sustainable flower bulb stocks. None of our bulbs are collected from wild sources.

Growing bulbs from seeds
Snowdrop and bluebell seeds are best propagated in autumn for the best germinating conditions. To get started, collect seed heads from healthy, disease free plants when they’re ripe and let them dry out until they open up. Once they’ve opened, you can easily remove...
