Positive | axelqueen (6 reviews) | On Jun 1, 2008, axelqueen Winnipeg, Canada wrote: Ordered 3 seed varieties, and all grew beautifully, (particularly the yellow evening primrose), and are currently thriving in the garden. Only teeny complaint is the lack of pictures on the seed packets, and the teeny tiny printed instructions. (The eyes ain't what they used to be). Although the packets are still quite informative and easy to follow. Was very pleased with the quick shipping time, as well. |

Many bulbs were nice and plump (larger than what I found available locally and larger than I was expecting). I would order from Dominion again. |

The company received our order, via fax, on Monday and we received the plants today (Thursday). Very speedy. The package came by Xpresspost (Canada Post) and was well worth the shipping price we paid as the plants were well-packed and healthy. |

Positive | Ariesca (2 reviews) | On Apr 29, 2006, Ariesca Lillooet, BC (Zone 6b) wrote: I like this Canadian company for perennials. It has a good free catalogue, you can choose your shipping week. The requirement to order a minimum of three plants of each type is ok because they look best in groups of 3 in the garden in any case. Plants arrive remarkably well packaged IN POTS, with green leaves protected and perky. Some other suppliers supply much smaller bare roots in little baggies. A label is provided with each plant, saving considerable time when planting (a big improvement over a bit of wood written on with a marker! LOL) Shipping is fairly expensive but price of individual plant is less than my local. Communications are excellent. I got an immediate credit for one missing begonia corm. I have not ordered seeds because they are indeed very expensive. I will certainly order plants again. |

Positive | tokudama (1 review) | On Sep 29, 2005, tokudama Gananoque, ON (Zone 5a) wrote: Just today, Sept. 29. 2005 I wrote to Dominion Seed House to report that 2 of my 5 Plants I ordered this year did very poorly, one has died the other is still the same size that I received it at and the leaves look poorly and curling up. I planted both in a pot right away upon arrival, did not want to set them out in the garden since they were very fragile. I am sure I will receive a Credit note for the amount the plants cost me so I can use that credit for next years plants. Dominion Seed House has always responded favourably to my requests and did send me a credit note when the situation called for. Dominions plants always arrive very carefully packed and in good condition. I like the fact that you can choose the date of shipment and that the Plants always arrive right on time. The one thing I find about Dominions Plants though, they are rather small , meaning the roots are farly new and therefore less developed. A more established root work on a plant guarantees a better start for the plant in my opinion. |
Positive | sputter (1 review) | On Feb 6, 2005, sputter (Zone 5a) wrote: I have ordered seeds, bulbs, and live plants from there for the past 5 years. I find they have an excellent selection and the live plants have always arrived in good shape. Since I can ask for which week I want delivery, I am prepared for their arrival and can take prompt action with them. The bulbs have been a good size and have done well. |

Positive | Twrosz (8 reviews) | On Dec 27, 2002, Twrosz Edmonton, Canada wrote: I've been ordering from Dominion for many years now and in general have been rather pleased. Now alot of their perennials are being grown and shipped potted with most all arriving in fine form. Yes, there has been troubles with misnamed plants and that indeed is a BIG problem in the nursery trade and not at all exclusive to Dominion. Customer relations have been good and credits issued for such mislabled plants. |
Positive | gardendragon (2 reviews) | On Dec 15, 2001, gardendragon Ladysmith, BC (Zone 8a) wrote: I just received the 2002 Spring catalogue from Dominion Seed House, what I really like about their catalogue is that listed above all their flower seed varieties, they have "Usage Codes", I find these codes very helpful. |
Positive | JanMiller (2 reviews) | On Jan 1, 2001, JanMiller wrote: I have ordered from this company for 3 years now. I have ordered seeds and live plants. Both have come in excellent shape. The free catalogue is great with many colour pictures and good descriptions. When ordering live plants, you can specify what week you want then shipped to arrive in time for your zone's planting. The plants arrived as stated and in great shape. I would not hesitate to order from this company again and again. |
