Positive | CheeseDreams (2 reviews) | On Apr 27, 2022, CheeseDreams Halifax, Canada (Zone 5b) wrote: All bulbs were substantial in size. The calla lily that I ordered (captain promise) had a rhizome that was 4" in diameter and produced a couple of flowers that were tall enough to require staking, while the dahlias, though a bit fragmented from transport, managed to bloom. "Cornel bronze ball" turned out to be a crimson red. The freebie plants were an added bonus, as I was able to share some of them with friends and introduce them to the quality of Botanus. |

Positive | redwolfdoc (3 reviews) | On Jan 1, 2016, redwolfdoc Toronto, ON (Zone 5b) wrote: I have ordered bulbs from Botanus for the last three years running. The quality of their bulbs is outstanding and the packaging excellent. They have a wonderful personal touch with nice extras - coupons, free gift, signed QC notes. I also love the weekly YouTube videos and Garden Club draw. I have had reason to contact them directly twice (once to compliment, once to ask a gardening question) and in both cases I received prompt, thoughtful and informative responses. The owners are passionate, friendly and very helpful. I will continue to recommend Botanus to everyone I know. |

I enjoy the colourful catalogues twice a year. I love the free plant gifts for early ordering and for previous orders. (I have often enjoyed these incentives enough that I have ordered more the following year.) I have ordered bulbs and bare root plants from other mail order companies as well, but I think I have had some of my best results from Botanus. Also enjoy the garden club and other value-added features. |

Their bulb quality in particular is absolutely top notch. And if I happen to order something not within my zone, I am certain to get an e-mail from one of the fine staff there. I have relatives in Northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba now hooked on Botanus! Every year I look forward to their catalogue kicking off my countdown to spring. |
Positive | Gallivanting1 (8 reviews) | On Aug 5, 2014, Gallivanting1 Edmonton, AB (Zone 3a) wrote: I ordered a lot of items from Botanus because their plants and bulbs are amazing. My success rate with their products has been about 98% and I credit a lot of that with their shipping. No other company packs live plants and bulbs like they do! My shipments arrive in perfect condition and many of the plants already have flowers on them. I would recommend them 100%. In addition, they have a Garden Club on their website with lots of Tip Sheets and weekly videos about different plants. I've contacted them regarding items I've ordered and found them to be very helpful and informative. Great company to deal with! |

Positive | LadyAssassin (17 reviews) | On May 4, 2012, LadyAssassin Belleville, ON (Zone 5b) wrote: Posted on October 7, 2011, updated May 4, 2012 On May 4th, 2012, LadyAssassin added the following: The bulbs I purchased last fall have been beautiful this spring. Everything came up true to name and only had one tulip bulb that didn't make it. I ordered a few bare root perennials for this spring and received a nice packaged box with healthy roots. Can't wait to see how they do this summer. Botanus is one of my favourite places for perennials and bulbs. Will be a customer every spring and fall! |

I can't say enough about the quality of the bare root perennials and bulbs I've received from them, all well packaged and healthy. I was astonished to receive my order today with TWO gifts as a customer promotion. This is one of the best Canadian suppliers I know of. |
Positive | axelqueen (6 reviews) | On Jun 2, 2008, axelqueen Winnipeg, Canada wrote: Ooh, I like this company. Ordered some liatris and lily of the valley, and after only a week and a half in the garden, they are growing like there's no tomorrow! Not only are they growing very well, but the free stuff I received, peacock orchids and a tango lily, are blooming as well. Sometimes the freebies can be a hit or miss, these are definitely hits! Will definitely order from them in the future! |

Had one item that did not grow, probably my fault and they replaced it. I order from them twice a year and will continue to do so. They also answer all questions you email to them. A great company. |
Positive | cathaleen (10 reviews) | On May 24, 2006, cathaleen Prince George, Canada wrote: Have placed my first order this year with Botanus. Very satisfied with the product, and i too had one plant not survive - and has been no problem dealing with a replacement plant.....so all in all happy with the service and the quality of the plants. They are one of the nurseries I have tried this year for the first time - and have been happy with all three. Some great affordable nurseries in Canada. |

I was impressed with the quality. I ordered two hostas "Frances Williams and Gold Standard" and was really impressed with the size of the roots. Both are growing vigorously and are very healthy. |
