Packing was good. Speed getting the order shipped out was excellent (1 day). Communication was the best. Plant quality was excellent. These were all bigger than I was expecting for 4" pots. I will definitely be back!! |

Although I have never bought any Passion Flowers before, and so have nothing to compare them to, the Passion seemed small for the price (considering it is a fast growing vine). But would definately order from Grassy Knoll again. |

Positive | sunnyg (7 reviews) | On May 27, 2011, sunnyg San Francisco Bay Area, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Grassy Knoll Exotic Plants not only has a wonderful variety of passifloras (among other plants), it provides excellent customer service. Elizabeth was very helpful and prompt when responding to emails, and when one of my plants arrived in less than ideal condition and continued to decline, she sent another because as she put it: "I want you to have a healthy plant!" The plants are well packaged, and with the exception of the particular plant that has been replaced, they've all shown up in good condition and are doing well. I definitely recommend this company, and wouldn't hesitate to order from it again. |
Positive | Samtpfote (4 reviews) | On May 21, 2011, Samtpfote Gresham, OR (Zone 8a) wrote: I was looking for a few Passionflower vines and stumpled across Grassy Knoll here on Dave's Garden. I was excited to see that it was located only 30 minutes away from me. I think I emailed back and forth with Elizabeth 20 times with tons of questions. She is very knowledged and answered every email faster than any business I have ever deald with. Plus she saved me from some purchases that would have not survived the winter here. Her greenhouse is amazing. You can see that she loves what she is doing. I would only get my Passionflower vines from her. |

I am also impressed by Elizabeth's great communication. If you are looking for a great variety of passifloras, including some more rare ones, she offers them for a very reasonable price. |
Positive | Craftyfrogmom (1 review) | On May 23, 2009, Craftyfrogmom Lancaster, PA wrote: I have ordered twice in the past 5 years and each time the plants were packaged perfectly and were not only healthy but bloomed within a few days of receiving them! My orders took longer to ship than any other grower I've ordered from, but that is because Ms. Peters ships at the right time for the plants, which is fine with me. I just placed another order with Grassy Knoll yesterday, and I am confident that I will be completely satisfied with this order as well. |

They were carefully prepared for mailing and arrived safe and sound. The plants seem clean and healthy. I would recommend this seller to friends. |
Positive | karyn1 (18 reviews) | On May 5, 2009, karyn1 Silver Spring, MD wrote: I've ordered passion vines from this company several times and have been satisfied. I decided to order some (5) of her S. African varieties in addition to the passiflora this time. I won't be doing that again. 4 of the plants were small but ok but the Ceropegia crassifolia was in bad shape. I emailed Elizabeth about the plant and she replied that this plant was just coming out of dormancy and it was fine. I'm well aware of the growth habit of this plant and dormancy wasn't the issue. It appeared that new growth had begun but that it was dying when it arrived. There were several leaf scars and the new growth at the tip was drying out. I unpotted the plant to check the roots which appeared ok but the area of new growth was bad and shriveling more each day. I responded to her email with this info and I've still not heard back. I realize this is a busy time of year for her but have a feeling that she's brushing my complaint off and thinks that her initial reply should have sufficed. This isn't a negative review because her passion vines are fine but that is all I will purchase from her in the future. On May 13th, 2009, karyn1 changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: I am changing this rating to a positive because Elizabeth finally did contact me and offered to send a replacement even though I told her that I no longer had the questionable Ceropegia crassifolia. I don't feel it's necessary to wait for the replacement to change my review as I'm sure she will send it. |

Positive | paralegalmbl (1 review) | On Apr 11, 2008, paralegalmbl West Palm Beach, FL wrote: I recently ordered over a half-dozen items from Grassy Knoll. There was NO problem with communication or arrival. The plants were extremely healthy! I can tell you, I order a lot from online plant sources and these plants were good, if not better, than my favorite online gardens in Hawaii!!! My neighbors are very jealous of my gardens and now you know why! You can not get these quality plants from your local hardware or garden store. They also will share lots of information, just ask! Good Luck and Good gardening!!!! |

Positive | PDXmaven (1 review) | On Jul 5, 2006, PDXmaven Portland, OR wrote: My friend and I drove the 20 miles from Portland Oregon to Grassy Knoll Exotic Plants to purchase a passionflower, that is to be the star (hopefully) of the fence on the north side of my house. It was the highlight of my Fourth of July!! Elizabeth has so many varieties of passionflower, and was So knowledgeable about their origins, specific needs, growth habits, and (most helpfully) pointing out those which would be hardy in our area and not too large. She even showed me how to do my own polination!! Spending an hour inside her greenhouse was such a treat, and she was able to coax a number of the flowers to open for our viewing. The plants we got were so healthy, and large! I appreciated Elizabeth's eagerness to get feedback from us about how the plants did in our yards. She really loves passionflowers and I think anyone buying from here can rest assured that the plants are of high quality, and the information you receive about them will be very accurate!! |

My emails were returned promptly and Elizabeth seems like a friendly, helpful person. I changed my order twice after it was innitally sent, and she was perfectly fine with that. I ordered five passifloras and all came in excellent condition and one even bloomed a week after It came (pura vida red). Definately a great place to order from. |

I was like the last poster in that I ordered and paid in January and asked for a spring delivery. At the time, the owner wrote back saying that she planned to ship in early April and that she will notify via email prior to shipment. |

Plants were healthy, well rooted, medium size or larger, prices are the lowest compared to other sites for some plants. Great packing job! On time shipping. I highly recommend Grassy Knoll if you are looking for exotic plants. |
