Hi Lesley, To follow up on your question, I was also pre-ordering for fall (and spring 2026), as that's how far out these orders are typically placed. I directly contacted my Holland bulb supplier to ask about potential tariffs. Their response was: "Since our US imports don't start until August, we have time to evaluate and adjust to potential changes (on your order.) If tariffs are active when imports restart, these costs will need to be passed on to our customers." So, it seems any tariff costs are decided as of shipping date, not pre-order date. This makes decisions difficult so far in advance, but that's how pre-order bulb imports work since their customers are worldwide. Last year, I waited, and the bulbs I wanted sold out months before shipping began. Given the circumstances, I have no choice but to walk away from my bulb sales. Unfortunately, the Pacific Northwest doesn't grow the bulbs I'm looking for. Your supplier might be different, so you may have options I don't.
