I received my daylily order from Petal Pusher Daylilies Monday, well packed and identified, nice large plants with good root systems. Very good to deal with and excellent communication. Would not hesitate to recommend and order from again. Just discovered a nice bonus plant from them, "Quilt Patch".

I was searching for some seeds and found Victory Seed Company and went and started looking at their seeds. The price was certainly right, they were heirloom seeds which I have been trying to grow now as I like the different varieties of seeds from the past. So, I bought some. The shipping was the most reasonable of all the seeds I have gotten so far, the packaging was great, and they arrived with no issues. I cannot wait to get them in the ground now and see what comes up and grows! I will be buying more seeds from them in the future. Good, reliable service!

Yesterday I received my daylily order from Doris Bishop, Shady Rest Gardens. Plants were well packed and are healthy, large plants with good root systems. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend.

Iriswarehouse is also Daylilywarehouse. I recently placed an order for nine daylilies from Iriswarehouse/Daylilywarehouse. Plants arrived Priority Mail well packed and three nice bonus plants arrived with my order. I have ordered from this company in the past; prices are reasonable and all my plants have so far survived and grown well.

Placed my first daylily order with M P Flower Garden recently and received large healthy plants, well wrapped in wax coated brown paper. Some of the plants were BOGOs and, while I was expecting two clumps per group of BOGOs, Spacecoast Loose Tooth contained FIVE single fans. I haven't yet been able to plant the rest of the order, however I'm expecting good things! The photo is of the plants "heeled into" an empty metal garden bed until I can get them into their new location.

I bought 4 roses this past spring from Heirloom and all are putting out good growth. Heirloom only sells roses that are grown as own root which explains the higher cost. (Grafted roses are quick/cheap way to propagate yet can have issues that own root roses don't.) The plants arrived beautifully packaged and healthy considering they shipped from the west coast to my home in VA. Heirloom's site offers videos which explain how to plant, fertilize and prune roses along with phone & email customer service reps to help you with any questions. Pic is Eden Climber with 3 months growth.

I started using this product this year when my tomato plants just sat in the bed without growing, bad leaf color and almost no blooms. Within two or three days the transformation started. The plants took off growing, producing flowers that set fruit, and looks so healthy now.
The same thing happened with the pepper plant.
I am now a believer in this product that naturally opens up nutrients to the plant. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

I highly recommend Orange Lake Nursery. They are a family owned small business and have an ETSY shop. I chose to visit their nursery in person, since I had to be in Tampa and they are only 20 minutes away. They run their business from their privacy fenced backyard. They are located in a Home Owners Assoc., so they are not allowed to display a sign for their business. I was a little confused at first because I did not call ahead. But, I called when I arrived and the owner immediately helped me out and explained to me the circumstances.
When I walked into the nursery, I was pleasantly surprised to see an abundance of small healthy plants at very reasonable prices.
I purchased 13 plants and am extremely happy with my purchases.
If you Google them, their info is all there along with extremely positive reviews.
I wish them all the best because I am familiar with how difficult it is to have a small business. I was very positively impressed by their hard work and genuine love of their plants.

This was my very first online order from Plantio La Orquidea and although I only ordered a single plant, the orchid I received is a really nice size and very healthy!

I give this company an A+ for price, size and health of the plant, perfect packaging and fast shipping! I'm sure to be a repeat customer and am already browsing their online catalog.

Have previously ordered and received Abrus precatorius seeds. Order was promptly responded to and delivered. Owner was quick in responding to order and provided seeds as promised and in great condition.

This time the order was for Datura Inoxia, Large Moonflower (Single White Trumpets) seeds. The quality of the aforementioned first order was matched if not exceeded by the second order. Prompt delivery of excellent seeds.

Sterrett Gardens is one of my favorite daylily vendors. Their website is attractive and easy to use, and they have a large selection of cultivars. The plants they send are large and healthy, and they include a generous bonus with each order. They are excellent about communicating. Strongly recommend.

I have ordered from Amador twice and have been pleased both times. They have a wide selection of classic cultivars, very reasonably priced. Several I couldn't find anywhere else. They don't give bonus plants, but the prices are so good that it doesn't matter.

The fans were small when they arrived but made up for lost time when planted. Two of my plants succumbed to crown rot, and Amador replaced them promptly, no questions asked.

I recommend Amador and plan to order from them again.

I was looking for a specific Viburnum for my landscaping plan. Sooner Plant farm had exactly what I was looking for. I was a little worried about purchasing larger sized shrubs and how they would survive shipping. My 3 shrubs (3-gallon size) all arrived safely without even a leaf out of place. The plants are beautiful and healthy; the packaging for shipping was incredible. I would not hesitate to order from here again.

I found Victory Seeds by searching for calabacita seeds and am very impressed with the availability of uncommon seeds. Also impressive is the packaging which includes informative information. You know the seeds are fresh since they arrive in small zip-loc type bags inside the envelope.

Baker's Acres Greenhouse is a mandatory annual excursion for us. It's only 20 miles, so we would go more often but we always overspend our plans. And gladly so 😄 or we wouldn't go at all! Gardeners come by busloads from far and away, it's that kind of place! When the Perennial Plant Association meeting was in town, they toured. So, it's a don't-miss.

We love the perennials selection. Lots of unusual sun and shade choices, some old standards plus the latest introductions and award winners.

They have an extensive selection of herbs and vegetables. In very early spring they may have seed potatoes and onion sets, plus barerroot strawberries and asparagus.

The coleus selection is unique thanks to Chris's breeding efforts. Some of their names reflect his quirky, unique sense of humor which also enlivens the catalog.

They also have an unusually large selection of indoor Begonias because of a staff person's interest.

It's THE place to get a great selection of "thrillers, spillers, and fillers" for planters and baskets. Plus they have preplanted ones. Their production of flats of standard annuals is fairly limited and often rapidly depleted, we find those elsewhere.

Staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful. And yes the restroom is a destination thanks to the biannual themed redecorating, with a humorous slant.

We generally come away with a gratifying selection of "some of everything". They now have an online catalog which can help you plan ahead but you may find some offlist offerings too when you are there. Highly recommended!!

I just received seeds in the mail so can't speak to germination, but their selection of herbs, edibles and ornamentals is really cool, and they don't skimp on number of seeds per packet.

Also, they sent a couple of bonus seed packets...on purpose, I hope!

This seed company has an interesting variety of heirloom and OP seeds. Primarily tomato and pepper seeds. In the selection of tomatoes, there is a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and suitable growing zones. They should have something to appeal to all tomato growers. Although they currently are backlogged, I found the order to be shipped in a timely manner.

They offer an interesting selection of seeds in generous packets. Germination was very good. Will order again.

I always buy my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. Over the years they have improved immensely and their seeds are fresh and sprout fast. I especially recommend the marigold seeds and the calendula. We grow and harvest these seeds and many others. I am growing now the kohlrabi purple in my farm Daddy containers and they are doing excellent. We also grow most of the nasturtiums they sell. These nasturtium seeds have done very well in partial shade in our garden and have reseeded having many more plants.

Recently received my first order from Victory Seeds; the seeds arrived promptly, and I was impressed by the great communication on the status of my order and tracking. Too early to plant yet, but the seeds look great.
