Posted on June 19, 2016, updated July 10, 2016 Placed an order for two aconitum. I did not get an order confirmation, so I sent an email to the company asking them to confirm my order and when I should expect it to ship out. Patrick sent me a message back after my second attempt of contacting them to tell me that they were too large to ship and they should be shipped in the fall. Nowhere on their site does it say anything about these not shipping until the fall. There is no mention anywhere on their site about shipping schedules for these plants. He offered me two options; either cutting them back or bending them to fit in a box. I told him to bend them to fit them into a box. He then got very abrasive with me and told me he just wasnt going to ship them. I told him that was fine and to refund my money. I paid via paypal. He said he would mail me a check. Really? A check? I paid you instantly and you cant even refund my money? I use paypal all the time and I know how simple it is to give a refund! This company has been a complete waste of time! Do not ever order anything from them. The guy is a complete joke and I am sure this business wont last much longer the way it is run.

Wonderful plants, wonderful packing, delivered when stated and good communication I bought 6 Hannah's choice blueberry plants from Patrick and had them shipped from NY to WA. The blueberry plants were some of the biggest, in best condition that I have received. His packing was excellent. All roots were still moist when received. He shipped the exact day he said he would. He responded to my initial phone message in hours. He confirmed the plants were on the way by email with tracking number. I actually bought a couple more plants than I really need because I half expected some would probably not make it. ...but... I do believe all of these plants are going to live!!

Posted on January 31, 2013, updated January 31, 2013 Posted on January 31, 2013, updated January 31, 2013 Posted on January 30, 2013, updated January 31, 2013 i placed a large order with this company -eminence gardens-paid in full in early winter and in the spring when my order did show up(only after much prompting from me)the entire order was dead or dying-my attempts to receive any response from the owner was ignored-i never received any replacement plants-refund-apology-nothing!!!!-no response at all-the very very worst company i have ever ordered from and as a heuchera addict i have order quite a few!only because i was looking for a replacement for one of the dead plants did i find this site and then this company was listed as only company that had french quarter heuchera available-BEWARE!!if they have it is is dead or certainly will be before you see it!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!there are too many reliable responsible companies out there that offer healthy plants - only wish i had been warned about this one!!

I read the reviews on this company and decided to order from Patrick Sarisky. He was one of the few vendors that had Berry Smoothie Heuchera and and Sweet Tea Heucherella, both hot new 2010 introductions still available. His prices were fair and the shipping prices were reasonable. He sent me an email the same day I ordered my plants and notified me that they would arrive within 2 to 3 days. The plants arrived in 2 days. They were well packaged, nicely rooted and health plants. One looked a little worse for wear but I have no doubt that it will recover and grow well. I am very pleased with my buying experience with Patrick and will order from him again. It is nice to find a company that has good customer service with quality products as well.

I recently placed an order with eminence and wanted to come here so others would know what to expect and not have the same surprises I did. Good: 1) Patrick returns emails promptly 2) They offer a number of newer cultivars Bad: 1) They packed all 6 of my plants into a single USPS Priority mailer and charged $17 for S&H. 2) They sell the plants as 3.5" pot size, but when I went to plant them out, many were actually just plugs repotted into a larger pot with soil added. In fact, on a few, the roots were still tightly in the hexagon shape that plugs come in and looked like they may have been removed from the plug tray and repotted right before they were sent. If he had sold these as plugs and not charged $12 a piece for them, I would have been interested as they were healthy. However, charging $12 for a plug that cost $3 and calling it a 3.5" pot because soil has been added is deceptive in my book.

This was my first order with Eminence Meadows.I am giving EM a neutral but nuged towards a positive I like his list of plants. I ordered sedums,heucheras a fern and some hardy geraniums. He shipped when he said he would. The package was well packed BUT The plants were very dry and many were quite small and wilted . At this writing they are newly planted and the jury is out about viability. I liked dealing with Patrick.He returns emails, is graceous about canceled plants.

I was looking for 'Georgia Peach' Heuchera during fall, which is harder than during spring. (I live in Dallas, so we've got a few more months of warmer weather before the frosts come.) I also found that they carried Brunnera 'Looking Glass', which I also wanted. So I ordered two of each. The heucheras arrived in good shape. Several mature leaves on each. I received an email ahead of time warning me that the Brunnera was already starting to show signs of going dormant. One Brunnera actually didn't look half bad. Good size, plenty of roots, and the leaves didn't really show signs of going dormant. The other Brunnera, I'm afraid, had been wrapped up along with a small, black, iridescent beetle, and two snails. So most of its leaves were chewed up. But it had a couple, untouched mature leaves and a few younger leaves, plus lots of "buds" at the crown, and lots of root mass. So I snipped off the bad leaves, planted them all, and we'll see what happens. The plants came with a TerraNova label, so I'm guessing Eminence Meadow got their plugs from there. The plants came in a sturdy, plain, white box. Each plant looked like it had been grown in healthy, friable garden soil as opposed to artificial growing medium. Each plant was wrapped in newspaper, which was then put inside of a small, brown paper bag, which was then placed inside the box with more newspaper added to keep everything in place. Which was good because my postman decided to leave the package upside down for me. There was no writing on the box about there being live plants inside, though. The postman might have been more careful if there were. Overall, the experience was plenty good and I would order from them again.

I just ordered about $100. of plants from Eminence Meadows. I ordered hostas, epimedium (beautiful!), monkshood, and an unusual fern, (among others) so I feel I had a good cross-section of their products. ALL of the plants were very nice sized for the money and obviously freshly dug and packaged. As a matter of fact, from the time I browsed their website to the time the plants were at my door was LESS than 1 week! I also had a question about a plant before I ordered, and got a very nice answer the same day... on a Sunday. I would definitely do business with this company again!

This was my first order from Eminence Meadows. I found them on the internet when searching for Heucheras. They have some hard to find ones. I was very pleased with the plants. My order was shipped immediately and was received a few days after I ordered. Great care was taken in packing the plants for shipment. I highly recommend this nursery.

I discovered Eminence Meadows this spring while searching the internet for heucheras. This is a small nursery with a wonderful selection of heucheras, hostas. and other perennials. The heuchera list included many of the newer varieties I had been looking for plus many I had never heard of. The extensive hosta list had some of the much sought after streaked varieties. As an added bonus you got free hostas(a first for me with perrenial nurseries).I immediately placed an order.The owner worked with me to find a suitable ship date,as his plants are just breaking dormancy when I (being farther south) am into full planting.The order arrived on time with nice healthy plants that had been carefully packed and neatly labeled. Patrick was nice enough to notify me when he acquired new varieties, and I placed a second order.All the plants ordered from this nursery are doing great. I love to find smaller nurseries to order from because you generally get speedier service with a more personalized touch. This nursery exceeded my expectations and delivered beautiful plants. The owner was professional in every respect and I will definitely order from them again.Eminence Meadows is now one of my favorite nurseries.

i was just looking at this nursery and noticed some other complaints. I also was taken by this person named Patrick Sarinksy who I think is the owner. I purchased some perrenials that did badly, and being local, I took them back and showed them to him.... that they died within a few weeks. He told me that it was my fault, that I had to do something wrong, and that there was nothing he could do. I lost over a hundred dollars and have no plants. I also saw that other persons, complaint and I have no doubt that is what happened to me also.... very bad quality and he was very unwilling to do anythng to fix the situation. I just left and knew I had no recourse. so be careful...

The owner of this company litterally stole my money. He sent me bad and small Heucheras that died, He said it was my soil. all the others are doing fine. He does not give you what is in the pictures. They were tiny plants and just cutting in 3 inc pots. some 13.00 for one little piece. He told me to send them back and now he has the plants back and wont refund the money and wont answer my emails he has decided to keep the plants and my $150.00 That I have to pay on my card and have nothing to show for it. He got the product back and then just kept the plants that he will nurse back to health and re sell a second time. Other companies sent me three large Heucheras and shipping was almost equal to the price of one of his homegrown cuttings. And he is not a certified PROVEN WINNERS dealer who sells small cutting of them. I saw the real ones when they arrived they were all big and beautiful, and had the right labels on them from Proven winners who created the new Dolce line of Heucheras. Anything but his heucheras are thriving nicely and It is not my fault and he is nasty. And now he does not answer any emails when I ask about my refund now that he has the plants back he is keeping both. Do not order from him you will not be happy and he will not replace or refund anything if they die. You can not grow healthy Heucheras from tiny little cutting that he sends out, some were 13.00 for one in a 3 in pot. Other dealers send out full size large plants for the same price and he also charges 15.00 shipping if it is one plant up to ten. So if you do buy one you pay 15.00 up front. I also spent ten dollars to send them back. So I am out $160.00 now. and nothing for it. BEWARE....

I was searching for an unusual Lungwort to plant in my new shade garden. Eminence Meadows was one of the few nursery's that carried 'Irish Spring'. The plants were beautiful and thrived. I would definately buy from them again.

I love heuchera (coral bells) and as I searched the internet I felt that this company had the best variety of selections overall. I was very pleased with the quality of the plants. I was curious as to how their hosta plants were, so I ordered one. I was very pleased with it as well.
