Comments regarding Jung Seed

I ordered "hot pepper mix" seeds and had a 90% germination rate. The woodland flower mix and toad lily combos came bare root with some growth on them. They could have chosen a better time to ship rather then in the middle of a frigid cold snap here in ohio but...since I had them shipped to my office nothing was frozen it would have been bad if they had to sit outside my house in 20 below weather. Will get them planted as soon as I can and let people know the growth rates.
All in all pretty postitive I got what I paid for.

My family and I have been ordering from Jung Seed Co. for many years. We have always received good, strong nursery stock. When we did have a problem, all we had to do was call within the guaranteed time and we would have our items replaced if still availabe that year, the following spring or receive a credit letter. I would like to say that a few comments below this one, someone stated that "he" would have to pay shipping again when he placed an order with his credit letter. That is incorrect. If you plan on ordering the same thing that the credit letter was issued for it is considered a replacement and you do not pay the shipping charge. If you order something different, you should have to pay shipping because it would not be considered a replacement. This is a good company who strives on making customers happy. I will continue to order from Jungs and their affiliated companies for many years to come! Happy 100!!!

I really do not understand the oppobrium that has been heaped on this company on this website. I have dealt with them for a very long time. They have a good selection of seeds and the germination is always pretty good. (Some of their seeds, mostly in the area of perennials, needs cold treatment before planting; this is explained on the packet and if the instructions aren't followed, then the gardener is the one at fault, not the supplier.) As far as nursery stock, I have gotten some very nice roses and small fruits from them. The one time that I had a failure, they promptly issued a credit.

This is a good, ethical company that supplies quality products

This last spring was the first time we have ordered plants as well as seed from Jung's. The Nanking cherry bushes were very impressive with good roots and tops. The Hansa and Frau Dagmar Hartopp roses were also in good shape, although we did worry about the latter one for awhile. Eventually it did leaf out and bloomed off and on all summer in spite of drought conditions. In 2007 we are looking forward to adding more roses and other bushes from them.

I have done business with Jung Seed Co. since the early 1950s in Maryland when I ordered and planted 3 white birch. The trees are enormous both in height and girth. During the last few years I have planted their seeds in
Plymouth, MA using gro lights with great satisfaction. When they discover that the germination per cent is poor they provide extra packets. Providing this service with 8 other companies is not easy. I respect their integrety. Green_Survivor

My seed order with them went well, decent service and delivery time. The germination rate was not as high as from some other companies but wasn't a complete loss either.

I just visited the Outlet store in Randolph,WI, for the second time, and what a treat it was!! I have always gotten top grade plants and seeds thru the mail order. It is my favorite seed catalog. Visiting the store is quite a fun experience. They are very helpful, knowledgable and nice as can be. I only had one time when I had to write because my strawberries that I planted in fall did not come up in spring and they were replaced with better ones. I could not have been happier. I give them the highest rating possible.

This is the first time I ordered from Jung Seed and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered Roses & Glads and both have done wonderful. The roses did start off very slow, but are now bigger and better than others I planted at the same time. in fact, i thought ine had died, called customer service and they sent out a replacement right away. both roses ended up living and both are blooming like crazy. the customer serevice rep was so pleasant, we ended up e-mailing each other back & forth about gardening. Will definately buy from them again in the future.

I recieved an order this Spring of trees and shrubs. Though they sent bareroot stock the merchandise was good size for the price I paid and looked good and green and healthy. I soaked their roots in a bucket of water for a day and then gave each shrub & tree a good helping of dry peatmoss, manure and triple super phosphate in their hole along with a good drink. They are doing quite well and are statring to take off. I have ordered from Jung before and will continue to do so. Remember to give your plants a million dollar hole with lots of nutrients & water. :)

I've placed two orders with Jung Seed in the past six months, one for seeds only and one for seeds and plants (2 thornless blackberries and a batch of 25 Ozark beauty strawberries). My seed orders always arrived promptly, and my live plants were shipped at the appropriate time for my zone (9).

I've had very good germination rates with the seeds from this company--flowers and vegetables--and was pleased with the bonus seed packs they included with my order.

The Chester and Triple Crown blackberries arrived in bareroot condition, but one of them was already starting to show new leaf growth by the time I put them into water to soak overnight. They were a bit smaller than I expected--single canes that were under 12" not counting their roots--but both plants are now thriving and threatening to take over my garden with no special coddling or care from me besides regular watering.

Only 11 of the 25 strawberries made it, but this was my fault. I didn't realize that the brown paper packaging around what I thought were the rootballs of my blackberries actually contained my order of strawberries, so the poor things didn't get put into the refrigerator for three days. By the time I had a chance to plant them, quite a few had gone moldy. The surviving plants are very healthy and, like the blackberries, are spreading like crazy via runners. I've already gotten berries from several of the plants.

I definitely wouldn't hesitate to purchase from the company again, though I'll be sure to check all mysterious brown paper packing materials for hidden plants in the future!

I was happy with my order from them, plants and seeds were as listed.

Received my order from Jung's . Everything nicely packed and in good shape and surprisingly decent size for mail order plants. Everything in the ground and appears to be doing well. Emailed the company when I noticed one of the shooting stars was missing from the 3 pack. They immediately sent me a whole new 3 pack replacement. I am confident if anything fails to thrive they will make good on it. Wouldn't hesitate to order from them again, and most likely will.

I have ordered several times from this company (2 new home landscapes with them). I received my spring order yesterday....a little later than I expected but the plants are healthy and were nicely packed. I called today to ask about one of the backorder items - the customer service was unbelievably polite and accommodating. I also inquired about 2 items I ordered and planted last spring that did not come up. She told me replacements would be sent immediately. Of all the other items I planted last year from them, they are coming up wonderfully. I especially like the fact that you can inform them if you will be out of town/on vacation for a period of time and THEY WILL ACCOMMODATE SHIPPING such that your plants aren't sitting in a box on your porch dying while you're away.

Great company. I would order from them anytime.

Absolutely top grade materials arrived. Lilium bulbs large and turgid, anemones gigantic, strawberries healthy. Everything was very well packed and I look forward to the arrival of my fruit trees.

I live in Stevens Point, WI, where Jung's has a large outlet store/nursey. During the winter their nursery is full of tropicals, I of course, love their citrus trees. And in spring they 'have a great Bareroot room. They have shade, ornamental and fruit trees, shrubs, roses and small fruits. All species that can live in our area. Most of the employees that have worked there for some times really know there stuff and I know them pretty well. I've never ordered through the mail with them until thsi spring and still havent recieved that shipment. But everything I get from the store is great quality. I've never had an issue with quality with Jung's.

I have never ordered plants from this company but I have ordered annual seeds and have had good results.

They offer a reasonable selection of seeds that are well priced and are generous with their packets. I am especially impressed with the Wave Petunia seeds because of how carefully they package the pelleted seeds - not a single one was damaged!

The Cosmic series Cosmos bloomed the entire summer last year and were a snap to grow - lots of compliments on the mass of blooms.

The germination rates have been great - often better than seeds that I have bought from more expensive companies.

I will continue to buy seeds from this company.

I ordered a number of seeds and plants from Jung. A couple of the plants did not thrive, and a couple of varieties of seed did not germinate well, but they replaced them immediately upon notification. I am happy with them and will return as a customer.

Seeds arrived on time and sprouted nicely. Seeds were packaged professionally in a paper packet with very nice art. I'm a collector of seed packet art and these were very cool.

I ordered two Endless Summer Hydrangeas and a William Baffin climbing rose and they all came in wonderful shape and very large. The hydrangeas bloomed all summer in spite of our terrible heat (I kept them well watered) and my climber got some roses on it and seems to be doing very well. They were all bare root so I am happy and would do business with them again.

This spring I ordered two Red Lake Currants from Jung. I was VERY pleased with them. They were very large and hardy with a large root mass, much larger than what I have received from some other places with higher ratings. Now, several months later they are doing great.

Last month I ordered some seeds, germination trays and some other supplies. I received the complete order in five days.

I've ordered from Jung for many years and have always been satisfied. Seed orders shipvery quickly and the nursery items have always arrived in good shape. They have a good variety and are good to deal with.

I've always had good luck with the roses I've ordered from Jung. Only one didn't break dormancy and it was promptly replaced. Their roses aren't the largest, but they are very resonably priced.

I ordered 4 plants from them this season: 3 Birch's double geraniums and 1 Bergenia cordifolia. All arrived in great condition with active green sprouts ready for planting. Now that the plants have been in the ground about a week, they all seem to be thriving and putting out new growth. I have always had good luck ordering perennials from this company and have again been pleased with my current order.

I ordered two shrubs and two trees from this company. All four arrived healthy and beginning to break bud. The Cornellian Cherry Dogwood was heavily top pruned, but that was required for shipment and a new leader is already budding out next to the prune. No objections here.

I ordered seeds and plants from Jungs 3/31/05, the Customer rep. was very helpful. Received the seeds today, the plants will come later. I'm pleased with the courteous maner of their rep. I have ordered from this company before and have always been pleased with their plants and seed as well as the service.

I placed an order for 3 pussy willow bushes. They arrived in a timely manner and in wonderful condition with many buds and healthy root systems. This was the first time to order and have since placed another order and will probably order again! Keep up the good work!

Placed an order in Fall '04 for a variety of items including Seeds, Iris, and peonies. Received all items promptly and in good condition.

This is the first year I ordered from Jungs. I have to say so far It's been very positive. Recently, I purchased 2 sets of tomato cages, my order came and the box was damaged. The prongs were damaged as well, I e-mailed them. No questions asked, they told me to discard the damaged ones, and they would re-ship no charge. I've had no problem with their customer service.

I would recommend, although most of my orders have only been hard goods, no plants so far. I would also like to add, their response time is GREAT!

It seems that, for the most part, Jung Seed and affiliated companies have primarily negative ratings. Perhaps Jung bit off more than it could chew when acquiring these other companies. I have done a lot of business with Jung's, and overall, the customer experience and product quality have been good. I hope Jung's pays attention to this negative feedback and improves where it needs to. They are a bit standoffish, though, so don't hold your breath.

This was my fault, but it shows that Jung will go that extra mile for their customers. I purchased a number of fruit trees this year, and one did not survive. Things were very hectic, and I did not get around to reporting it until today (mid December).

I had forgotten that Jung's replacement warrantee must be reported by October 1 - something I was not too fond of, and something that I was unknowingly about to get stung by.

Jung's Customer Service still replaced the tree with no coercion from me. They were pleasant and turned what could have been an ugly confrontation into a positive experience. They reminded me of their warrantee policy. I'm sure I will return the respect they gave to me (by calling within their warrantee period) should the need to replace a plant arise again.

I ordered garlic in September. The sales woman was helpful and informed me it wouldn't ship until October. I got my oder October 4th and the planting materials were in good condition. The prices were much better than the other sources I found.

First time ordering from this company. I ordered 3 sets of rose cones via phone. The customer service rep was very polite. I received my order in less than a week. The box was well packed and overall I'm pretty pleased. I think I will order some seeds from them in the future once they send me a catalogue.

I have not placed an order for a couple of years because they stopped sending me their catalog. I requested one through the internet this spring, but did not receive it. I'm in California, so maybe that's the reason. I have used Jung seeds for years and have had good results with them. They have always shipped on time and the quality has been good along with their prices.

Bought several packets of seed, all had average germination and growth. Not really any better or worse than any seed I've bought. Also bought 2 Akebia vines that were shipped well packaged, on time and in good condition. They are both growing slowly but surely. Will order from again.

I got great plants from Jung last year and just received this year's shipment, again everything looks great. I checked their website for my order and couldn't find it, so I emailed them. They responded the same day, reassuring me that they had my order and that I could not check a phone order on the website (kind of weird but okay). The plants were well-packed, which is good as USPS continues to deliver everything upside down.

I recently placed an order with Jung's for several types of seeds. I placed my order over the phone and I spoke with a friendly and knowledgeable salesperson. She took my order and gave me helpful advice on what would grow best in my zone. I received my order quickly, and already have the seeds planted. The seeds seem to be very good quality and have a high germination rate. I will definately order from Jung's again, they have a friendly and knowledgeable staff as well as excellent products.

I ordered seeds from this company last year and had no problems whatsoever. The seeds arrived very quickly, and the order was complete. The germination rates were very good also.

I have ordered from Jung's for years now and have always been satisfied. Last year 2003, they were a little slow but this year they are faster then ever. I submitted my order via the internet on 02/09/04 and received my seed portion of my order yesterday (02/18/04). The lily bulbs and hostas will come later. I will let you know how those are when I get them. I will continue to order from Jung's.
