Comments regarding Mischel's Greenhouse, Ltd.

Have ordered for at least the past 3 years. Catalog is very good at pairing plants for baskets and containers. This year, as always, plants were large and healthy, in 3 ½" pots. Shipped when requested and rec'd in excellent condition. Order for this year included impatiens, begonias and geraniums. Some were multi-stemmed and most were already in partial flower. One of the best sources I've used in almost 50 years of ordering online or through mail order catalogs.

I had never ordered from Mischel's before but they had a variety of coleus I wanted which didn't think I would be able to find locally, especially in the quantity I needed. I ordered 24 plants, which qualified for 'free' shipping, making the price very reasonable. The order came when they said it would, and their clever packaging prevented any damage. The plants were in 3-1/2" pots and were very nice, full and bushy but not overgrown. They looked a little pale and unhappy from being in a box for three days, but after a few days they perked right up and look great. I am very pleased with my order and would order from this company again.

Hadn't ordered from this company for a couple of years because of the inadequate packing, lovely plants were broken in transit.
I decided to give them one more try this year and was pleasantly surprised. The packing and shipping was so much better, not a plant or stem broken. I ordered petunias, impatiens and lobelia, all came on my requested ship date and all of the plants were very well rooted and in bud or flower, looking like they came fresh out of a local nursery! God job Mischel's!

I just received my first order of 6 Sunpatiens plants, which are hard to find in my area. The plants are large and very healthy. Several were already in bloom. The packing was excellent - all plants were secured and there was no loss of dirt. Service from MG was also great. The plants were shipped on schedule and shipping confirmation with tracking was provided. I am extremely pleased and will be ordering more in the future.

This was my first time ordering from Mischel's but it will not by my last !
The annual flower plants were received right on schedule and arrived safely due to their careful packaging. All the plants are healthy and of an impressive size with blooms on some of them. I will definitely order from Mischel's again !

Great catalog: not huge but terrific for container gardening, baskets, window boxes or garden. Very nice people with whom to do business. Healthy, nice sized plants. Nothing is root bound. Never a problem with them but if you do encounter a problem they have a money back guarantee. Shipped plants out for 5/20 delivery: perfect for my zone 7a. They do a superior job on packing and marking the box THIS SIDE UP. Now if we could get UPS to read those words it would be even better.

I received a nice sized order from this company, all were healthy, the soil was moist and the plants were a great size. I will order my annuals from them again in spring. Very happy with this company so far.

I received my plants yesterday and they look nice and healthy! Would order again.

I ordered from MG this spring because they have a nice selection of double impatiens and good rating. I also ordered several other plants from them (abutilon, verbena and petunia), and I am very pleased with this order. All plants arrived very healthy and much bigger than expected. Shipping was on time, and plants arrived with very little damage. There were few broken leaves and stems, but mostly because plants were too big for the box they were sent in, and also impatiens have very fragile stems. The cost of plants and shipping is very reasonable, and plants look better than the poor little things sold in Lowes and HD this spring ( and selection is actually better). My double impatiens are absolutely cute, especially lavender and white ones. I wish I ordered more plants and I'll definitely order again.

I ordered lantana back in April, which did not arrive. When I contacted Mischel's via email, they told me that for some reason the order was sent back. They immediately shipped out new plants, which are as nice as if I bought them from my favorite nursery here in town. I thought the plants and shipping were very reasonably priced. Lantana is hard to come by around here and I will definitely order from Mischel's again.

I was thrilled to open the box just delivered and discover the most colorful healty plants I have seen in a long time. I have been lucky enough this year to have all of my plant orders arrive in good shape, but these were definately the best. The proof is in the pudding when we see how they will stand up to our Arizona summer. Thanks for fine service and product.

Been ordering from Mischel's for about five years and have been quite happy overall. Occasionally, some plants arrived in bad shape - usually because of poor handling en route - and they were replaced or refunded without question. I am happy to see they continue to add to their choices. I use them for my window boxes, hanging baskets and containers every year. The people are very nice to deal with and make the experience very enjoyable.

Beautiful million bells....even with shipping they were cheaper than my local nurseries...and bigger too. I will definitely buy from them again.

I ordered quite a few different annuals for a friend and myself for the first time. They are all growing nicely. I was impressed with the size of their plants. They were very large for mail order annuals. One plant was smashed by the shipper and they sent me a very nice letter with a return check for the damaged plant. I'm going to order again next spring for the both of us. I was very pleased with their plants and their service.

Having ordered from Michels several of the last few years, I have to say I have never received more personal service than here. They were very informative! On their recommedation I ordered several plants that they said were suited for coastal Zone 8 and was totally satisfied!!!
Needless to say I have reordered almost every year and been totally satisfied. The plants are healthy, in bud and ready to go! Their varieties better any in this area and I always get comments from friends and neighbors.

Last spring's order of tender perennials grew magnificently all summer long. The shipment included one wrong variety, which Mischel's quickly replaced. I will order from Mischel's again.

I ordered from these guys last year and was very happy with the size and quality of their plants. The plants were packaged with care and the order was on time. Two thumbs up!

So far so good.....prompt ordering from the catalog. I wish they'd sent a confirmation for the order but when I called I got a real live person right away! The order is due any day and will let you know......

The plants arrived in excellent shape, well-developed and expertly packaged. I have already ordered some more!
