The box of 22 Erica carnea 'Golden Starlet' traveled cross-country with no ill effects. The plants were moist and fresh, in 'just potted-up' appearance. |

Positive | Fracture (11 reviews) | On Oct 9, 2011, Fracture Auburn, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: I ordered from this company because it's pretty much the only source I could find in the US that sold true heathers. I do like their website and they have an exceptional selection. |

The website provides high quality images of the plants, gardening information and adds free bonus plants for those ordering more than a couple. Karla, the owner, is a fantastic source of information, called us when weather delayed shipping and sent us great plants. She went out of her way to help us get what we wanted and even was gracious during a credit card glitch. I have grown heathers and heaths in Holland and am now planting them in Southern California. The plants arrived boxed with each plant wrapped in damp newspaper. Plants were in perfect condition. The plants are now residing happily in hillside garden between crepe myrtles. |

Positive | jaimewillmann (2 reviews) | On Apr 13, 2006, jaimewillmann O Fallon, IL (Zone 6a) wrote: I bought a collection of Heather that was chosen by the company according to the growing requirements and my zone. Even though it has been a very hot week of almost 90 degrees, the plants arrived in good condition. Karla has been very helpful and returned my emails personally to answer questions. Its nice to know that a plant so hard to find can be bought so easily through this great company. |
Positive | soldiersong (13 reviews) | On Apr 4, 2006, soldiersong North Plains, OR (Zone 8a) wrote: I received quite a large order from Heaths and Heathers about three weeks ago. Because the space for them needed a lot of work I took me over a week to get them all in place. They are all looking wonderful and are showing signs of really settling in. Through the shipping and waiting process none of them drooped, lost buds or leaves or seemed stressed at all. I look forward to working with this company as my heath and heather area grow. |
Positive | mtilton (6 reviews) | On Apr 9, 2005, mtilton Ada, OK (Zone 7a) wrote: Heaths and Heathers is a fine nursery. I ordered a number of cultivars, and the plants were shipped to my house very quickly. They were well-packaged and are in excellent condition. They also have a nice good-sized catalog. |

Positive | emmamouse (1 review) | On Dec 26, 2002, emmamouse Morrisville, PA wrote: I consulted the owner, Karla Lortz, last Spring about putting in a large heather garden. I had never grown heathers and wondered if they would grow in my climate. She was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I asked her to select a large number to bloom all year round. The plants arrived in excellent condition and are thriving and beautiful . |
Positive | lupinelover (15 reviews) | On Apr 20, 2002, lupinelover Grove City, OH (Zone 6a) wrote: I found out about this company in a newspaper article. I called and requested a catalogue. It came promptly. I called again with a tentative order; after a long conversation with the owner (!) I changed my order to what she recommended and had in stock (it was way after the catalogue had first come out). All my selections arrived when promised; in wonderful health; all grew lustily. I got another catalogue at the correct time and ordered an assortment, some as gifts, some for myself. Again, talked with the owner (!) who gave some good advice. When I can again provide the correct growing conditions I will order again (and again and again and again). |
Positive | B_GAndersson (2 reviews) | On Oct 1, 2001, B_GAndersson wrote: I have been intrigued with the tree heathers since seeing them in the Canary Islands and in the Cape province. Heaths and Heather is the only mail order nursery in north America (that I've been able to find) that carries the tree heathers and their selection in both these species and the more standard ones is amazing. My order went out from Oregon on the morning of September 11, 2001 and although it was intended as 3 day air (UPS), of course there were no flights until that Friday. As it turns out, UPS had re-routed the package to truck and so the plants arrived 8 days later. They were still in great shape! We were lucky that the weather was good, but the quality of the plants and the packing was a major factor. Great selection, great & friendly service (and a good web site). Highly recommended! |
Positive | EveButterly (1 review) | On Apr 1, 2001, EveButterly wrote: Last fall, I sent them an e-mail requesting some suggestions for varieties that would do well in Texas heat, bloom year round, of certain sizes and colors, and was promptly rewarded with an offer of 6 varieties for $20 that matched my qualifications. It took a while to receive the plants when I placed the order this spring (they were out of town), but the plants arrived in good shape--two were even blooming, and continue to bloom a month later. The shipping, however, was $13, almost the cost of my plants. Overall, I'm very satisfied. |

I would recommend this site for anyone needing heaths or heathers. They'll send a free catalog full of hundreds of varieties. |
