Colonial Creek Farm

I just received four beautiful geraniums from this company: Peach Scented, Attar of Rose Scented, Apricot Scented as well as Pineapple sage. Beautifully and carefully packaged, and nice sized. I can see that a purchase from this company is going to be an annual event, because I am very pleased.

I purchased two hard-for-me-to-find-locally herb plants from this company in the early spring, hoping for the best. This company does not ship until your region's last frost date, so my order sat for a few weeks. My plants arrived safely and in healthy condition, even with the postal service mauling the box a bit. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again, I'm happy with my purchase.

Posted on April 2, 2020, updated April 8, 2021 This was my first time buying from Colonial Creek Farm, and it was a wonderful experience. I ordered a lot of plants from them (salvias, mints, etc.). They notified me when they shipped my order and the plants arrived a few days later, each carefully wrapped in newspaper and in excellent health. I definitely plan to buy from them again.

I was incredibly impressed with the health, fullness and overall condition of these perennials. I've spent 3x as much for much poorer specimens. I purchased a butterfly bush, bee balm, joe pye and another pollinator -- they were easily the best looking plants I bought by mail order this year. And I usually only order from garden watchdog companies.

The plants arrived in perfect condition, and at the time expected. The quality and service couldn't have been better.

I can’t say enough good things about this nursery. My order arrived just days after I placed it online, and the plants look fabulous. The size and quality of the plants are far superior to those I’ve received from larger, pricier online vendors. The packing was done with care and reminded me of packages I used to get from my Mom. I’ll definitely buy from them again—I highly recommend them.

Couldn't be happier with my experience with Colonial Creek. Had never ordered from them before, but did so because of their large selection of Salvia greggii hybrids, a favorite of mine. I added to my order before they shipped via telephone. Their customer service was very accommodating and pleasant, and they agreed to ship right away, earlier than my original requested date (everybody is home these days and spring is early this year). The pots are small (so is the price), but they were very healthy, full plants with a good root ball. Packing was effective and they arrived quickly and in good condition. I highly recommend this nursery. Would love to see them offer more perennials.

I’ve bought two different groups sets of plants at different times of year and they arrive in geat condition. Once planted they easily thrive! They have an amazing of variety of plants and their descriptions are spot on and are extremely helpful. It’s hard to find good work go to an awesome product at such fair prices.

Fantastic live plants provider! Don't hesitate to order from here, as the quality of the plant specimen, packaging and prompt delivery is far superior to other Medicinal Seeds sites on the internet. (believe me, I've tried others and was shocked at the horrible quality of the plants that were shipped.) I am extremely pleased with the customer service at Colonial Creek Farms, and they will be my permanent supplier going forward. They offer an amazing variety of scented geraniums...which is just what we needed here on our farm to discourage the flies from hanging about the stable areas. I have to mention again about the packaging of the plants...great care was taken to secure all of the plant materials in the shipping box. Pots were well wrapped in plastic with attention to providing adequate moisture during shipping. (moist newspapers) Plants arrive fresh, properly tagged, undamaged, and thriving beautifully! They actually look as if I bought them locally.

Posted on May 24, 2016, updated June 30, 2017 I purchased my first salvia plant online from Colonial Creek Farms. They offer a good selection of affordable small plants. Great service and shipping too.

I ordered two Asclepias tuberosa and two "village hill oak" scented geraniums from Colonial Creek Farms. The plants that arrived were vigorous, well-established, and a welcome change from the tiny, road-weary specimens I'd ordered from other nurseries. They were packed well, arrived quickly, and they look fantastic! I'll be ordering from Colonial Creek Farms again.

Plants are beautiful! Selection, service and packaging are great.

Ordered a Mexican oregano plant (Lippia graveolens). Received today. Plant is of good size and healthy. Packaged well with eco-friendly materials. If it dies now, it's my fault. I would buy from Colonial Creek Farm again.

While looking on th Internet for a particular scented geranium that has the citronella scent I found Colonial Creek Farm which I never heard of. Much to my surprise I didn't realize how many scented geraniums are out there and the quantity Colonial Creek Farm had. I was going to order a couple of citronella plants as a trial for my first order from them, but I took a chance and ordered 7 plants as they were priced good and reasonable shipping charges. My order was shipped quickly and at my house after just 2 days in the mail. I thought these would be scrawny little plants but I was totally surprised to see the size and quality and the great packaging. Plants look like they never traveled and nicer than plants at our local shops. I can't tell you enough how pleased I am and will surely order again from this GREAT COMPANY, now I have more scents than just the citronella . And more sense to order plants again from this great company.

I felt a little nervous about ordering from a company with so few Dave's Garden reviews. Nonetheless, since the reviews I saw were all positive, I ordered two buddleja (that's how they spell it). I received the plants more quickly than I'd expected, and the plants were of great quality: leafed out and healthy-looking. I'm very pleased, and hope they will grow well and beautify the church property.

I ordered several varieties of butterfly bush that I could not find anywhere other than those small hybrid size varieties (3-5 ft) at the orange big box store. I was more accustomed to the normal 6-12ft growing varieties. Yes, I found them here, they sell them in decent 2.5 inch pots starters size. They arrived priority mail box which took two days to arrive (this is correct time for priority mail), and super well packed with plastic sandwich bag stapled to enclosed the soil from falling out from the pot,then each plant/pot was individually wrapped in sort of lightly damp newspaper to protect the stem/leaves and maintain some moisture during shipping. Then each was placed carefully in the box cushioned by more newspaper so that overall the box doesn't rattle much at all during shipping. This reflects the amount of care they take with their plants being shipped. When I opened the box, there was also an instruction sheet that provided info on what to do with the plants right out of the box. So all plants were decent size for the size of the pot and were in my opinion well rooted hardy plants, and not sticks that were just stuck in soil. I would purchase again from this vendor and recommend to others.

I can honestly say that I have never received healthier or more lush plants by mail than I have from Colonial Creek. They were packed well and absolutely beautiful, much more than I expected. I also was very satisfied at the reasonable shipping. I couldn't be any happier with them.

I ordered 3 mint and 3 lavender plants for Colonial Creek Farm. My order was delivered in 3 days. Plants all look vigorous and healthy-as good or better than if I had bought locally. Packaging kept plants moist (in 90 degree heat) with no crushing or loss of soil. A good resource for plants.

I have ordered from Colonial Creek Farm twice. Each time shipping was fast, no waiting weeks for my plants. When my plants arrived they were healthy and a nice size. Their prices are very reasonable for plants and shipping.

I ordered a variety of mint plants and a rosemary plant from Colonial Creek just as the weather began to turn cold in zone 5. I couldn't find another company such a large variety that was willing to ship so late in the year, so was I pleased to come across them. Their prices are affordable and all plants were tightly packaged in damp newspaper and a sturdy box. I accidentally killed the rosemary within weeks (forgot to bring it in one night), but that was completely my fault. Luckily the mint is thriving! I plan to buy several more varieties of mint and rosemary next spring when it's safe for them to ship. Thanks Colonial Creek!

The only place online I could find Black and Blue Salvia Guernica and the plants are a nice size for the price. Also their hot lips Salvia is great too. Ships quick and the customer service is excellent. Don't hesitate to order from them. Thanks, Colonial Creek Farm!

I love, love, love this company! They offer unusual plants that are reasonably priced with moderate shipping costs. I have ordered 3 times in the past 3 weeks from their eBay store. I was delighted to receive gorgeous healthy plants every time. I will undoubtedly order from them again in the near future!

I ordered 4 plants from Colonial Creek Farms: Tuscan Blue Rosemary, French Tarragon, Spearmint, English Thyme. All four plants were shipped in January to Southern Indiana with temperatures in the teens during the day and colder at night. The package was shipped by USPS and arrived with four very healthy and great looking plants. I am very happy with my purchase and will differently purchase from them again.

I ordered from Colonial Creek Farm for the first time this year, after an otherwise fruitless search for a few specific, hard-to-find plants that my favorite herb retailer didn't carry. I generally try to order herbs/edibles from organic growers, but Colonial Creek states on their home page that they avoid the use of pesticides, which is a good start. And their prices are great!! I shouldn't say that I was surprised to open my box and find such big, healthy, fragrant plants, but I was! And I finally get to enjoy the elusive tangerine sage and a strawberry-scented geranium. The latter doesn't actually smell very much like strawberries, but it's nice to finally know for sure! :)

So very pleased with plants I received from this company. They have interesting plants, which I couldn't find locally. I thought pricing was reasonable, again, considering the plants I got are not locally available. Highly recommend.

I was very pleased with the plants I received from this company. They have a wide and interesting assortment of plants, and I will definitely order from them again.

I ordered a number of plants from this company and was very disappointed when they arrived. All were waterlogged and definitely beyond any saving. I immediately emailed the company with the news and received new healthy plants within a few days. The company is new to me but I will be ordering from them in the future. Colleen was so very polite and apologetic and was right on top of it from the first. Thanks Colonial Creek Farm and Colleen !
