May 20, 2020 | It was a pleasure ordering from Onalee! Her web site sells plants that we have seen at botanical gardens, but have been unable to purchase locally. We appreciated the fast delivery, careful packing and the link to her "gardenguides" with info about the bulbs we ordered. We are looking forward to planting the Pine Cone Ginger bulbs and would definitely order from Onalee again! |

May 16, 2020 | I ordered the Queen of the Night Epiphyllum and I was impressed with the service. The order was processed quickly, extra help was provided during the payment process and the order arrived on time. This was a gift for my sister who was thrilled with the quality of the plants. I look forward to using this vendor in the future.

May 15, 2020 | I placed my first order with Onalee’s last month. Products shipped quickly. So far, nice germination rates have been achieved following their instructions. The website doesn’t have the largest selection; however, what they do carry is a good selection of unique items that are of high quality. |

Onalee is the best.....she went above and beyond to help me with a recent order.....and is trying to find a "tuber" for me that she doesn't carry.....as many others have said her responsiveness to questions and keeping me up-to-date on the status of my order made for a very pleasant experience....can't wait 'til spring so I can plant all the seed!!! Onalee, thank you and keep up the excellent work.

March 17, 2020 | I purchased a number of seed packets from onalee. 4 of them showed excellent germination rates but the ruellia didn't germinate for me. I contacted onalee and she sent me replacement bare roots. I am so grateful and am happy to recommend onalees as she stands by her products and was a pleasure to deal with. Plus all the wonderful plants! |

I have been completely pleased with my seed purchase from Onalee's. The ordering process is a snap. My seed packets arrived within days and have easy-to-understand planting directions printed on them. I look forward to a good experience in my garden.
On December 3rd, 2012, gogetter added the following:
OnaLee's is my go-to seed source for exciting seeds. The planting and growing instructions are clear and the plant outcomes have been news-worthy in my neighborhood. I come back year after year for favorites and to try something new, too. Service is super fast and emails are answered quickly.
On February 15th, 2020, gogetter added the following:
Every seed purchase from OnaLee’s reliably produces the most talked about plants in my neighborhood. I’ve always gotten high percentage germination rates of the most unusual varieties of garden plants. The selection isn’t available elsewhere and the service is first quality.

January 13, 2020 | Received all seeds I ordered. Was very well packaged. Each package contains all information needed for planting and growing and also a seedling identifier picture which I absolutely love. So far I am having great success with all my seeds except the datura seeds. But I’m sure they will come along soon they are just slow germinatirs. I will update on the daturas. |

October 4, 2019 | I ordered some seeds for Spring 2020 planting. They arrived quickly in perfect condition! Seeds are in small envelopes with all the information I need printed neatly right on the envelope. There's even a photo of what the sprouting seedling will look like so I don't pluck it out thinking it a weed! IMHO this is definitely a company to purchase from! Thank you Onalee's! |

May 5, 2019 | My purchases from Onalees Seeds have been wonderful.
Onalee has been very helpful in recommending seed varieties that will fill my needs. Such plants that will survive the 120 degree heat that we can have in Phoenix AZ. Each seed packet has the planting info on it so that one will have success in growing it. For instance the info on one of the seeds that I ordered said that it is a flowering annual that can grow as large as a small tree. That means it needs a special location with space. Onalees Seeds is a great source for seeds. I will continue to order from Onalee. |

March 25, 2019 | Onalee's is a great place to order Japanese morning seed packets online. The selection is great, with an easy to navigate website with prompt notice of your purchase.
Seeds are quickly & properly packed & shipped. One packet from Japan, even had a plastic label inside, showing the bloom, & can be helpful to identify the cultivar, from others you may grow. (As, marker pen labels may fade, fast... )
I would definitely buy from Onalee again, as she is kind, helpful , courteous & efficient in al these aspects . Also, for the great variety, quality service, response to emails & reasonable shipping prices, for some very unique imported Ipomoea nil seeds, to satisfy any specialized gardener. |

September 13, 2018 | I recently ordered a Crinum jagus from Onalee Seeds. The order came quickly and was packed very well. I am a horticulturist and have ordered from many companies over the years. I also worked at a mail order nursery and and was always trying to watch our quality and how orders were being shipped out. So a well packed plant that arrives in great shape is something I look for and as I said, they did a great job. Also the plant was large and healthy. They also have good planting instructions for the plant.
I would definitely buy from them again. |

October 22, 2017 | I ordered some - very difficult to obtain - giant Crinum Asiaticum seeds on 9th Oct. 2017. Onalee must've posted them very quickly as the package arrived only 9 days later, having travelled right across the Atlantic to here in the UK, including the usual delays at customs etc.
The large, walnut-sized seeds look wonderful too: healthy, firm and fresh, with some of them already sprouting! The packaging was just perfect, and despite charging only $12 for S&H I noted from the postage details on the padded envelope that Onalee paid over $21 in postage alone, ie not including the cost of packing materials, packaging time, filling out export forms and going to the post office.
The paperwork and information provided is second to none, giving website details of the best sources of planting and care information, as well as places where one can share one's buying experience. This is by far the best way of helping gardeners as it would be impractical to try to include so much information for every different seed or plant when it is all readily available online.
Being a bit techno-baffled I wouldn't normally have the patience to sign up for a website like this one just to leave some feedback, but I wanted to thank Onalee for all her kind efforts and care.
I would heartily recommend you visiting her marvellous, friendly site, full of enticing, hard-to-find goodies!

I had a hard time finding exactly the type of plant i was looking for, which was a plant my Mom had in her garden. Onalee's description of this plant made it clear that this was what i was looking for. I can't wait to plant the seeds and watch them grow!! |

June 13, 2017 | I've my ordered seeds from Onalee several times now and a,ways had a positive experience. Basically, if she has it, and I want it, she's always my first choice.
Pros:
-Quick shipping. I have never had an order that didn't ship the next business day.
-Website easy to navigate. Can find what I need here.
-Clear germination instructions on every packet of seed, specific to seed type.
-Good communication, Onalee will answer questions if needed, and provides shipping notice with all orders.
-Good germination rate. This tells me seeds ar fresh and haven't been sitting around.
Cons:
Not really any that I can think of. She stands behind her seeds. If she has what you're looking for, definitely order from her. |

I'm hoping they survive this Texas weather. I have several kinds of Hibiscus, these Roselle were new ones. Also I have more seeds seeding than package said. I am happy with. Keep you informed how they grow. I would send a Photo but my inability to fix my computer at this time is not letting me download photos. Thanks for the Great seed! Will order again. |

The package was well protected and I can hardly wait to get everything planted. It is perfect weather here near the Gulf Coast for getting things in the ground. I was especially excited to learn that she sells Coral vine, Hyacinth Vine,and Cucuzzi Squash seeds. I have looked for them without luck for quite a long time.. Everything about this company is perfect from here in my garden area.
