Chris Wiesinger owns The Southern Bulb Company, a flowerbulb farm in East Texas that offers perennial flowerbulbs for warm climates. Most SBC bulbs are time-tested heirlooms once forgotten in the trade and now rescued from old homesites destined for commercial developments and highway expansion projects.
Since the New York Times story of his life as a bulb collector and farmer, he is now known nationally as “The Bulb Hunter.”
Chris is a 2004 Horticulture graduate from Texas A&M University. When not giving lectures or collecting bulbs, Chris officially resides in “the cabin” not far from the Southern Bulb farm.
