He has some rare and unusual plants and prices are very fair. Even packing is done to a perfection. Very highly recommended! |

All prices are reasonable especially considering the rare availability of many species. Plants received were not the most beautiful, but this is mail order and many plants don't look their best in dark boxes for over a week. I did my research to know plant care for each item, so I was not concerned about condition. I did not receive the Stamps.com shipping notification, but email questions are answered quickly. Good customer service experience. Overall a very good plant mail order experience! Looking forward to see what new plants are added seasonally! |

Pepper's (I found them under website AccentsforHomeandGarden.com, courtesy link from Dave's Garden) for my rare/renaissance herb garden. They arrived via FedEx in a parcel, they were all potted in pots with soil - all very dry! But, all ALIVE and rather good-sized plants. Pepper's/AccentsforHome... was the only nursery that had the Southernwood, or even the Vick's plant (the succulent) for sale. I could not find a nursery that had any in stock, let alone carried it at all. I bookmarked their website. I have Wandering Jew houseplant in my Wish List on their site, that will be on my next purchase. All of the plants I got from them are still doing very well! Surprised because I am in a terrible area for plants (Arizona). |

I never ordered due to some of the negative reviews. I took the plunge this spring. I placed an order for 10 plants this spring. They arrived on time and looked good. they were in small pots, but the root system was strong on most of them, and fine on the others. There were others I wanted to order initially, but did not. So I placed a second order. Same results again. Do not understand the poor reviews, as my plants were better than most of the others I have received from other mail order nurseries. |

Accents for the Home and Garden sent beautiful plants! I am thrilled with my order and I got quite a few, not so easy to find, plants. Two weeks later, they are all thriving and ready to go into permanent pots. I will absolutely buy from them again! Thank you!!! |

The prices were very reasonable and in most cases less expensive than their competitors. Of the 6 plants I ordered all of them were healthy and most of them MUCH larger than I anticipated. This was my first order with them but definitely won't be my last. |

Plants arrived quick and in excellent condition..And prices are unbelieveable.. On August 31st, 2006, Toni05 added the following: Received 2 plants, the variegated Purple Passion and a Variegated String of hearts..Both came in good condition..I was expecting the STring of Hearts to be a bit larger, but othwerwise the plants are in excellent condition.. On June 14th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Received 2 Ruby Red Peperomias and a Maid of Orleans.. Pep's are between 9-10" tall, and MOO stands at least 9". MOO has several buds and flowers. Plants are well-packaged..Pots are first taped, then wrapped with newspaper. Each plant set snuggly inside a mailing box. Accents, Keep up the great work.. On July 28th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Ordered 3 more plants from Accents, Watermelon Begonia, 10", Temple Bells, 11", Cissus discolor, 9" and once again they arrived in sensational condition.. They arrived even faster than usual, and well-packaged. Foliage was in tact, in other words, no broken stems or leaves..Everytime I visit Accent's website, I see another plant I want..And prices are exceptional, especially for the sizes. Glad to do business w/this nursery... On September 26th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Received my last plant order before winter, today. Once again, after opening the package from Accents/Peppers, I was more than pleased. 5 healthy, good-sized plants.. Plants arrived promplty and well-packaged. For those of you who shop at Accents, or browse their Online Catalog, read description carefully, even if it means opening individually. Accents/Peppers uses common names some may be unfamilar with. So check the botanical name by clicking on each plant. For instance, while browsing through their catalog, I found a plant labeled Tapistry Plant..I had no idea what it was so I clicked on the plant, and found out it was a Begonia discolor. I bought that guy fast. LOL. Shipping was fast, too. Thanks Accents..Toni On October 24th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: I know I said I wouldn't chance ordering due to the weather, but decided to browse Accent/Peppers site, (one more time) and ended up pressing the Buy Now button 7 times..LOL Included in my order were 2 hoyas,..they are fantastic and much larger than I expected. My order arrived promptly..I admit, sometimes there is a short delay, but considering the huge orders Accent's ships during growing season, it's understandable. IMO, that goes to show the number of people who enjoy Accent's plants and supplies, and like myself, place multiple orders. I had a question for Mr. Pepper regarding a plant so I sent him an email. He replied the following day. I also like the fact Accent sells those 'hard to locate plants,' at reasonable prices. Compare prices to other nurseries and you'll see what I mean. On April 1st, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Placed my first order of the year now that temps warmed up...Since Accents/Peppers updated their site, they added a good number of new varieties; many rare, hard to find specimens.. Accents is one place that ships healthy, good-sized, reasonaly priced plants.. I had a few questions, emailed Fred, in which he replied the same day..Even though spring is officially here, a time nurseries are busy, (taking orders, packaging, and shipping) he responded promptly. Plants I ordered are Dragon Fruit, Gold Strawberry Begonia, Tri-colored Strawberry Begonia, Cinnamon Plant, Flowering Jade, Starfish Pagoda, Spurge, and Medinilla..Each plant is good side, well-rooted, healthy leaves. Packaging was carefully done..Shipping fast. Eventually, I'd like to order one of each plant...don't have the option, due to money and space..LOL. In my opinion, Accents is one of the best online nurseries..of course there's others, (I buy from a few nurseries) but from 1-10, 10 being the best, I give them !0+.. Keep up the good work, Thanks, Toni On April 21st, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 4 new plants today. Again, I'm astonished how beautiful they are..all are good sized: Variegated Fatshedera, Variegated German Ivy, Red Hot Hibiscus (tripple gorgeous) and Pseuderanthemum. Plants arrived quick, not long after ordering, well-packaged. I also receive a shipping notice, via email, the day plants are shipped. Accents/Peppers has a great selection of plants, at reasonable prices. I enjoy looking over their website, ogling plants, (wish I had one of each, lol) Toni On August 18th, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 5 gorgeous Episcias today. All are in excellent condition as usual. Plants are full-sized, each bearing 20, plus leaves. After inspection, there is no sign of insects. Each plant is taped and wrapped with newspaper, each pot has an attached label...I prefer pre-attached labels to inserted tags that can fall out of pot. Plants arrived 5 days after order was placed. That was fast... I would definately recommend Accents/Peppers to friends and those who enjoy plants..Toni On August 18th, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 5 gorgeous Episcias today.

Flowering Jade, Variegated Jade and Flaming Fire Jade. Plants are compact, large, and well-established. Labels naming plants are taped to pot..both botanical and common names. Well-packaged. Plants arrived quick, not long after ordering. Toni On November 3rd, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Got 4 more plants from Accents, 'probably' the last order until next spring. It's going to be tough waiting out a long winter. Accents has so many wonderful varieties to choose. This order consisted of: Trunk of Elephant, Jelly Bean, Euphorbia Round Stem and Velvet or Elephant Ear. All are good sizes, and well-packaged..like usual Shipping arrived promptly. I love Accents/Peppers..Toni On March 27th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: Received seven beautiful Geraniums. Different varieties, scented, fancy leaf and rare specimens. Geraniums are huge! Many have buds and/or flowers. Each plant was individually wrapped, and well-packaged. Shipping was sent according to temperature which was quite cold until the last week. Perfect timing upon arrival. Fred must have ESP. lol. Toni On June 28th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: In April, I ordered, Variegated String of Buttons, Variegated Lipstick, Emerald Ripple, Pink Emerald Ripple, Peperomia 'prayer,' Variegated Purple Passion, Maid of Orleans, Variegated Columnea, and Variegated German Ivy. All plants arrived in perfect health, pest-free, and good-size. Shipping was prompt. Accents/Peppers sends the healthiest of plants, well-packed, and ships ASAP. Toni On June 28th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: In May I ordered a Tree Ivy, Variegated Purple Heart, Variegated Jacobs Ladder, and Zig-Zag Jacobs Ladder. All plants are healthy and good-sized. Plants are packaged securely so plants don't slip out of their containers. Toni On June 28th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: My June order consisted of, Begonia 'Little Brother', Wandering Jew, 'quadricolor', Senecio 'String of Bananas,' Rhipsalis, Seaweed/Snowdrop Cactus, Gynura 'Purple Velvet,' Wandering Jew 'rainbow', and Smithiantha 'Temple Bells.' I also ordered a few Panterra Bowls, which work great for plants that need shallow containers. They also make great dish gardens. I planted Adeniums 'Desert Roses,' in my bowls. They're doing great. Shipping was super-fast, and plants well-packed. All arrived healthy and vibrant. Fred answers emails quickly. If something needs resolving, he takes care of it, ASAP. Toni On August 23rd, 2009, Toni05 added the following: Received 8-21-09: Pomegranate, Xerosicyos, and six Hoyas..All healthy, large in size, vibrantly colored: both greens and variegated. Each plant individually taped around newspaper. Box has two sections, upper and lower compartments with enough room plants are snuggly, yet roomy. Newspaper prevents stems/leaves from breaking. Accents has numerous plants from tropicals to native perrenials. I love Peppers/Accents.. On September 22nd, 2009, Toni05 added the following: Received my order today, 9-21-09, probably the last of the year, now that winter's coming. Plants are all healthy, nice size and well-packed. Shipping was super-fast. Toni On March 26th, 2010, Toni05 added the following: Ordered 18 plants March 20, 2010..the shipment arrived today, March 26, 2010. Considering the 20th fell on a Saturday and the order was placed at night, I deem shipping very quick. One plant was out of stock, my error..I was notified promptly by email. Plant and shipping chargrs were immediately refunded. Plants arrived well-packed. It actually took some work removiing cardboard and tape..But I prefer safely tucked plants than those tossed in a box, swaying around during shiping. Plants are stable, no broken stems. Considering the time of year, plants are good-sized, healthy, and insect-free, 'I always inspect new plants,' despite nursery or big box stores.' Nary a bug. Accents has great varieties. Some worth a lot more than what they charge. This order consisted of various succulents, Begonias, and other tropicals. Too many to name. lol. I love them!! I read feedback and am honestly shocked. It's not my place to debate whether or not someone had a problem, but in all the years I've shopped at Accents, I hadn't any issues..No complaints. One person mentioned centipedes. I've never found any insects in Accent plants, but I have with other nurseries..The other day I ordered a plant on Ebay...I removed the plant, placed in the sink..Before walking away, I noticed movement..Out came a 4"+ centipede. I fear insects, and believe me, I panicked..I'm even afraid to kill them, especially monster size..My point is, when we order plants from different states, it's not unusual for a spider, etc to crawl in the soil. I do a LOT of ordering, so believe me, I'm aware. Last year, a King Moth 'pod' hitch-hiked from Fl. King Moths are not indigenous to IL. I've also spotted lizards. One man claimed he received a scorpian..lol Pepper's plants are reasonably priced..especially for the sizes. Compare to other nurseries. If you shop for plants as often as I do, you'll understand where I'm coming from. BTW, I am not affiliated with Peppers in any way, shape or form. What I am is a Satisfied Customer who is very happy I found such a wonderful place to purchase plants. Have a great day..Toni On March 26th, 2010, Toni05 added the following: For the record...I wanted to add, I'm not saying Accents/Peppers is the only nursery I order from, or the only nursery that sells beautiful, healthy plants..On the contrary. There are a good number of nurseries that sell lovely greens, BUT, there are a good number of nurseries that ship such horrid plants, if it wasn't for the tag, they'd be unidentifyable. Thank you.. On May 2nd, 2010, Toni05 added the following: Received seven more plants on April 23, 2010. Begonias, Hoyas, Euphorbias, and a beautiful Pomegranate. Plants are potted in 4" containers, each pot securely wrapped and taped, and arrived less than a week after order. Thanks again. Toni PS. Sorry for feedback delay. A great friend passed away.

On August 29th, 2010, Toni05 added the following: While browsing through Accent's/Peppers website, I discovered new plants have been added. Of course, being a plant lover, and always thrilled with Accent's plants, I placed another order. My order consisted of: Mini Watermelon Peperomia, Fish Tail Hoya, Sweetheart Hoya, Autograph Tree, Chandelier MOT's, Gerald's Spurge, 'blooming, peach flowers. 'Plant is huge,' Copper Spoon, Corderoy Jade, Spearhead Senecio, Kalanchoe 'Fang,' A beautiful, Variegated E. Crown of Thorns, and Pineapple Guava. All are lovely, some quite large, the remaining, more than average size. Most nurseries would charge 20.00 or more for some of the above, mentioned plants. Plants were well-packaged. No soil spills, period. Order arrived less than a week. I'm having surgery Tues morning, so thankful this large order arrived when it did. Thanks so much, Accent's. Toni On September 15th, 2010, Toni05 added the following: Ordered 3 more plants from Accents..Variegated Stephonotis, 'absolutely stunning,' Senecio 'Rubber Ivy,' 'quite colorful, and a Triangle Fig..'little figs growing.' Each plant is potted in 4" containers, which are individually wrapped for shipping. My order arrived, Super Fast. Another positive: Each container has attached sheet of paper, with type-written print. Eg. 'Botanical and Common name,' and 'care instructions.' I find names and care sheets mandatory. Considering I order from 'X' amount of nurseries, most do not include name of plants, let alone information, or when they do, the nursery inserts a hand-written, pen/pencil tag in soil. Eventually ink/lead washes off or smears. Toni On April 10th, 2011, Toni05 added the following: Placed first order in April, 2011 from Accents. Got some true beautys. Hoya 'Imperalis,' 'Carnosa' Var, amd 'Hindu Rope' Variegata. Anthurium 'Tweed,' a rare Anthurium. Peperomias: 'Watermelon,' 'Belly Button' and 'Pink Ripple.' Stephanotis Variegata, and Geranium 'Wilhelm.' Each plant comes in a 4" pot, and well-packaged. Because of cold temperatures, Fred held my shipment so plants wouldn't freeze on their long journey. He also kept me updated. Thanks, Toni On April 22nd, 2011, Toni05 added the following: I searched everywhere for Impatien Morsei: No luck. A friend gave me the heads up Accents had these beautys; I bought one on the spot.. Like every other plant ordered from Accents, the Impatiens arrived a few days after ordering, even though it's their busy time of the year. Plant was taped and packaged securely. Foliage is compact, even has a bud. Vividly colored..no mars or splits. Accents For Home and Garden is definately my favorite online plant store. Toni On June 3rd, 2011, Toni05 added the following: Some time ago I ordered two plants from Accents: Variegaetd Ardisia and Variegated Jasmine.. I was so excited when I found them, I forgot to check if they were in stock. After the order was placed, I paid. Fred emailed me explaining both plants were out of stock, and gave me an option of a refund or wait until they were available. I decided to wait. Monday, "Memorial Day,' Fred phoned with good news. The plants were ready to go, he'd send them the following day. Plants arrived yesterday, June 2, 2011, three days after his call. Super-Fast shipping, especially since Monday was a holiday! Plants were wrapped carefully. Each are good size, variegation very pronounced, and insect-free. I respect the fact he didn't ship plants without or with tiny roots..Or seedling size. . Thanks Fred. You made my day. I've been searching for Variegated Ardisia a long time. You have numerous plants on your site, so, sometimes I miss seeing a particular variety. There were times I had to wait a little longer for an order..especially around holidays and spring planting season. I've read feedback here on GWD where orders were placed in spring..A very busy time for nursery-people. If a shipment didn't arrive 6 days after their order, they panicked. Some left negative feedback before talking to Fred and/or other nursery-sellers. When hundreds if not thousands of orders come in, our plants are highly unlikely to arrive a few days after the initial order. It's common sense. There are times a plant might not be in stock. Or, the plant is on back-order, or they're just plain busy. Nursery-people are not infallible. They make mistakes. And so do we. Mistakes will be corrected if a non-hostile email is sent to the seller, instead of accusations, threats and cruel words. So, please be patient when ordering from any mail-order nursery. BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Accents or any other nursery. I might be wrong, but I took the liberty of writing this because It upsets me when I see Negative feedback on GWD. I check the date an order was placed, sometimes less than a week,' and 'X' person is complaining their order didn't arrive, then automatically leaves Negative feedback. Me-i-tis! Happy growing, Toni PS: There are some sellers who deserve Negative feedback. When we browse GWD, and a seller has 99% Negative feedback,, the practical thing to do is avoid the nursery. I'm sure many here know which nurseries I'm referring to. Sorry for ranting..

Even though it's nearing winter, Pepper's plants are good sized. My order consisted of: Peperomia, Pink Ripple..Very large Starfish Pagoda, variegata..Very large Agalia odorata..large, and budding Philodendrom squamiferum. Very large, striking colors/texture. Natal Plum variegta. The last one for now. Fred was honest enough to send an email about the NP's size. A little on the small side. He asked if I wanted a different plant. I opted to go for it. He also threw in a Variegated Haworthia, which was a pleasant surprise, considering I love variegaated plants. Even though the NP is small, it's very healthy and brightly colored. So beautiful. Haworthia also has vivid colors. Green and white/cream. So nice. Plants were carefully wrapped and boxed. Order arrived less than a week after order. Thanks Fred..You have the greatest, largest and healthiest plants around. Pepper's is definately one of the top 10 best nurseries in US. I already chose plants for 2012. lol.

Toni On April 25th, 2012, Toni05 added the following: Pepper's 'first' order of the year...4/2012. Thumbergera..Natal Plum, Crassula Schmidtii, Brunsfelsia, 'packed with flowers,' Starfish Pagoda, and a super-large Kalanchoe 'Magic Bells.' Natal Plum is on the small side, but Fred was honest enough to notify me regarding size before payment went through. All plants are healthy, insect-free, good-sized specimens. Because of my location, zone 5, the above plants are grown as house plants, 'summered outdoors.' This year, I placed an order for, 'outdoor garden' plants. A first. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. Because I've never had problems with Peppers tropicals/succulents, I decided to give garden plants a try. What a shock when I saw the size of bulbs! 4 Crown Imperial, Fritillarias..root systems are humgongous, out of dormancy, new upper growth. 1 Allium..Fully rooted, out of dormancy, upper growth. Philadelphus x Lemoenei, 'Innocence,' common name, Mock Orange, variegated. Mock Orange arrived in a 4" pot, fully rooted, variegated foliage. I'll be ordering more perennials/bulbs, not to mention house plants, lol, in the future. Each plant/bulb was carefully wrapped. Shipping, super-fast. Thanks Pepper's. Toni On June 21st, 2012, Toni05 added the following: Although spring is a busy time of year, my new order arrived fast. Fred emailed, explained he was busy, my order might take some time. I replied, 'there's no rush.' Plants will get here when they do. All are house plants, so there's no hurry. I was shocked when the order arrived four days later. My order consisted of: Mini Wandering Jew, Chain Plant, Stripped Inch Plant, variegated Stephanotis, Kalanchoe 'Elephant Ear,' variegated Jewel of Opar, C. 'Flaming Jade,' and Plectranthus 'Ernestii.' Fred through in a few cuttings, to boot. Although each plant is beautiful, my favorites are the variegated Jewel of Opar and P. 'Ernestii.' I never had either plant so thought I'd give them a try. Variegation on variegated plants are vivid, very pronounced. I love them!! As usual, plants were packaged securely. Customer Service, 'Fred,' is a wonderful man. He's firm, but out to please customers. Great communication. Fred, thanks for sending such beautiful plants, Toni On July 25th, 2012, Toni05 added the following: Third order, July 2012 It's always a pleasure browsing through Accents/Peppers plants. Never know what one will find. Newest order: Impatiens Congo Cockatoo. Natal Plum variegated Impatiens Velvetea... Gardenia Jasminoides Gardenia Augusta Fred, thanks for the Bonus... Secure & Fast-Shipping. Toni On October 16th, 2012, Toni05 added the following: Ordered and received 5 healthy, good-sized plants. Fred added a bonus plant. 2 Speckled Wandering Jews... Beautiful, spotted foliage. Very unique. 1 Tree Oxalis. Tallest stem stands 9". Foliage filled. 1 Euphorbia Platyclada. Rare, strange-looking succulent. 1 Kalanchoe Figuereidoi. Large, colorful foliage. Very nice. Bonus.. Orostachys. Succulent foliage, good-size plant. White flowers. Very unusual. Plants arrived in secure packaging...Super-Fast shipping. Thanks Fred. On November 16th, 2012, Toni05 added the following: Probably last order of the year since temps are cold..although Fred added a heat-pack to prevent plants from being chilled. No frost-bitten foliage. Plants are healthy, pest-free and good size. Variegated plants are vividly colored. My List: Beloperone...Shrimp, varegated Plumbago... Blue flowers Crassula Schmidii...Flowering Jade Pelleromia... Emerald Green Tecoma...Cape Honeysuckle Brunsfelsia...Lady of the Night Pedilanthus..marbled.. Excoecaria...Chinese Croton Jasmine, Grand Duke of Tuscay Osmoxlon...Maiges Bush. All arrived in excellent condition. Plants, securely packaged..Shipping super fast... Thank You, Fred. A 5* Nursery..rare plants, too. Check Accents/Peppers if you're looking or ordinary and rare specimens. Toni On February 2nd, 2013, Toni05 added the following: Although temps were frigid, Fred sent securely wrapped plants. Heat pack included. Plants arrived fresh and healthy as usual. Order consisted of: Tricolor Strawberry Begonia Strawberry Begonia...several stolens Golden Strawberry Begonia Begonia 'Strawberry Cream'...true Begonia, not Saxifraga Miagos Bush variegata Via emails, Fred and I discussed the best time plants should be shipped. Since he keeps track of weather conditions, he reserved my order until temps reached 32F. Accents/Peppers has numerous plants I'd like to add to my collection but the last few days temps have been in the single digits, 0-8F; patience is the key. :) Toni On July 1st, 2013, Toni05 added the following: Sorry for the delay, Accents has rare, healthy, good-size, reasonably priced plants. One never knows what one will find when browsing indoor, outdoor plants, containers, figurines and supplies. I've added five additonal plants.. Each plant I received are healthy, beautiful, great size, pest-free, colorful and reasonably priced.

I ordered 4 Corsican Mint, 6 Mazus Reptans, and 2 Chinese Lobelia after researching on Dave's Garden (and not being able to find locally). They all filled the container, looked healthy, and the roots did not appear to be severely outgrowing the container. |

The abuliton I received April 20 - ordered is three times larger and covered with buds. The previous one I received from another source was so weak I wondered whether I could really grow this plant - I just took a chance. The peace lily is forming flowers. The wintergreens, with which so many people have difficulty, have popped out new and beautiful leaves. Yes, I used soil conditioner, but most people say these things never grow, and just fade away. The Kent Beauties are thriving, as well as the scented geranium. With this quality and these prices, if I am looking for something they have, it's a go! On May 14th, 2015, DonnaMack added the following: Today I received spectacular plants from Peppers. I must comment on the phenomenal Japanese Shrub Mint Golden Angel. It was MUCH larger than expected for a very low price. After the success of the three wintergreen I received in 2013, I did not hesitate to order three more. And I ordered another pink abuliton. This company has consistently provided me with absolutely outstanding plants. And Fred very kindly acknowledged my request for a change in shipping date - and honored it. Very, very fine customer service, and excellent plants at a good price point - it's the combination that keeps me coming back. On May 8th, 2016, DonnaMack added the following: This year's orders were absolutely wonderful. I ordered a red abuliton, which came with two flowers in bloom, and a very nice scented geranium, but what really thrilled me were the two very large Japanese Shrub Mint Golden Angel, in perfect condition. I cannot say enough about this company. Very reasonable prices, really interesting plants, and expert packing. On February 21st, 2017, DonnaMack added the following: I ordered once again from this company, requesting salvia elegans (2) and wintergreen (3). The company carefully scheduled delivery for a series of 60 degree days, which we do not often get in northern Illinois in February, but the amazing thing was the wintergreen The salvia was nice but the wintergreens, in addition to having gorgeous shiny healthy leaves, were covered with very fresh berries. This was completely unexpected, and truly delightful. On March 29th, 2017, DonnaMack added the following: I was so please with my wintergreen that I ordered three more, plus an abuliton. Again, the abuliton was covered with berries. Just amazing. |

Peppers knocked it out of the park. I could not have been happier when I opened the well packed box and found a large, healthy beautiful plant that was full of life. Being a first time purchaser I kept my order small. I am so pleased with the care and speed of Peppers that I am already planning my next order. I would absolutely recommend Peppers to anyone looking for that hard to find plant or anything else for that matter. |

I recently ordered three plants, two of them rather unusual: Queen's Tears and Indian Clock Vine, along with a variegated Hoya Kerrii. AFHG was the only vendor who had all three and all were less expensive than their competitors. Upon ordering, I noticed that the Indian Clock Vine was out of stock. I was going to cancel that item and order something else but later that day it slipped my mind and I never contacted the company. Only a few days later, I saw the mailman at my door with a box. As I stated before, the box was stamped that live plants were inside, a courtesy that other companies don't extend. I figured the Indian Clock Vine was on back order and only two of the plants had arrived. However, I was surprised to see that all three plants were inside the box. I love the low prices that AFHG offer, sometimes as little as half as much as other nurseries, and yet the plants are so gorgeous and generously sized that I don't know how they do it. I do know I will definitely be ordering from them again. |

I was really surprised to see a negative review. I ordered on May 26 and had not heard anything about delivery, so I sent an email on June 3 to inquire about when to expect delivery. I received an immediate response, a "click and ship' notification.( I believe they could work on communication but do understand if you are a small company how it might be difficult to do so.)Today, I received my plants. I have rarely received such healthy, mature, well packaged plants in all the years I have been ordering on-line. Each plant also had growing instructions taped to the pot they were in. I am truly overjoyed with these plants. I will order from them again. |

My plants arrived when the weather permitted a safe shipment. Worth the wait! Plants came carefully wrapped and gorgeous. Healthy, sturdy, well formed plants. I'm thrilled. |

I moved here 2 years ago and joined the Delaware Master Gardeners (was an MG in my former location). Pepper's was the first recommendation many of my fellow MGs gave for a local nursery. It surprised me to see on this site that they have a mail order business. It's a family company and the nursery is huge, with a really extensive variety of plant offerings and garden-related products and a well-organized and well-signed layout. It is worth a shopping trip if you live within a reasonable drive. The plants are very healthy in my experience, the prices are generally very good, and in spring the multi-packs of annual flower and vegetable seedlings are particularly inexpensive. |
