Order Soon for Fall
  

I probably don't need to remind you, but I'll do it anyway: Now is the time to start placing orders for fall-planted items like bare root Peonies, Anemone, Ranunculus, Tulips, and other fall bulbs.

A general rule of thumb is that you should be ordering a product for next year about the same time you are harvesting it this season. This way the current harvest is still fresh on your mind and you can adjust your order based on how production and sales were this year.

This also gets you toward the "front of the line" for items that may be in short supply for next season, and it may help suppliers manage their inventory better to fulfill more orders completely. Prices are already posted on Ball Seed WebTrack for many of our fall suppliers. If prices are not posted yet, you can still place your order now.

You can adjust the order after prices are added. Just be aware of order change cut-off dates that will be shown in the supplier POS that will pop up in another window when you click on the supplier's name on the search results page.

As always, if you need any help with pricing, availability, or placing and order, contact the Ball ColorLink office by phone or email. They are happy to help!
