ST. JACOBS, Ont. — Home Hardware says “just a fraction” of its Canada 150 tulip bulbs aren’t blooming as expected. The chain sold four million of the red-and-white tulip bulbs last fall in anticipation of the 150th anniversary of Confederation this year. It has received 180 complaints of plants flowering in unexpected colours like orange. Spokesperson Jessica Kuepfer said that despite the low proportion of complaints “people are disappointed and we are taking this very seriously.” The company is offering refunds to customers who can provide photographic documentation of the errant plants and proof of purchase at a Home Hardware store.
