The 5 gal Shoal Creek Vitex was shipped perfectly and even bigger in person. Before placing my order, I contacted them and received prompt, excellent help. I would not hesitate to make high ticket purchases from Sooner Plant Farm. If you're new to placing orders online, you will not be disappointed. In fact, they will spoil you! Worth every penny. Thank you! |

Each time the plants arrived quickly to California and always in perfect shape .The plants are packed well and provided for during transit. Due Covid 19 I wasn’t sure if delivery would take a long transit time but it didn’t seem to affect the 4/5 day ship time. My plants from last year are doing great and I expect the same from this current order. I love how I can order plants for my zone that I can never find locally . Highly recommend Sooner and will shop again soon. |

I initially read about them, then corresponded by email re questions. Efficient replies from a Sooner representative led me to place an order for three #2 gallon, 12”-14” tall flame grasses. Ordering was glitch free and Fed Ex kept me well informed re delivery. The plants arrived healthy and happy and I’m pretty excited about that : ) Thank you Sooner Plant Farm for being true to your word. |

I was looking for specific plants which I found on line at Sooner Plant Farm. It was really a pleasant experience for me to order a dozen plants which arrived in short order and are really top of the line in quality. They arrived in good time in absolutely fine shape. I hope to order from them again knowing I will receive fine quality plants quickly. I highly recommend them. |

Positive | nomibird (6 reviews) | On Apr 17, 2020, nomibird Gassville, AR wrote: Our first spring shipment arrived and as always it is in beautiful condition. We love the fact that many if not most plants come in root pouch containers which means less root disturbance in planting. The plants are always healthy and large. This is our go-to order site for our garden needs. Thanks again. |

We did exactly as instructed and waited until Spring. One of the two trees started blooming new branches/leaves right away, and I began to worry about the second tree. I continued to give both trees fertilizer as recommended and kept watering them on schedule. Finally, 2-3 weeks later the second tree came to life and is growing new branches/leaves. Very pleased. |

They emailed before delivery and let me know the tree was about to go dormant so it had yellowing leaves, and asked if I still wanted it. I told them yes, because I wanted to plant when it was dormant. The tree arrived in perfect condition. I planted it out and am going in my second year and it is doing great. It put on over a foot of growth last year. Very satisfied and will use them again. |

Finally I found the best ! I was overwhelmed when I opened my package of 2 stokes asters. Never had I seen such care go into shipping, and the plants were so very healthy and happy. They came in a growing bag, so I simply trimmed away the top part of the bag, and planted them as instructed. They are already growing and very perky, and beautiful. And I received a garden magazine and a catalog, and best of all, Bible verses. Now I know this truely is the very best mail order plant farm there is. Thank you so much Sooner Plant Farm. You are the best ! I had one question about my plants, and was answered very quickly. Exellent customer service ! look no further. This the THE place to buy from ! Nancy in Florida. |

After purchasing a Fleming Filigrees Violet Filli Crapemyrtle SEP 2018, I received a beautiful, healthy plant which I immediately planted. It did well thru the fall, slept during a relatively mild PA winter. By early June, it still looked dead while all my other plants sprang up, including my Razzle Dazzle Crapemyrtle. I was just about to discard it right after contacting Sooner to check if they had gotten any other complaints about this cultivar. I emailed a picture of my barren crape beside a big coleus I’d already planted to help fill its space. Fortunately, I got a quick response from Colin McInnes, Sooner’s Sales Manager. He recommended that it might’ve been stubborn breaking dormancy, and I should give it a little more time. And he was RIGHT!! Two tiny leaves appeared in late June. As of July 3rd, Filli is catching up to my other crape. Sooner’s fast response and plant expertise saved this little crape, and reminded me to WAIT. As an added note, I also had two Japanese Maples that did not wake up on schedule, and I was sure I’d lost them to a wet spring. I even bought a replacement for one of them. But after Colin’s good advice, I waited on the maples, too. Guess what …. and the happy downside was I had to find a spot for the replacement maple!!! I don’t know how many other gardeners are experiencing wacky plant responses to odd weather changes, but I’d caution all to wait before discarding any “dead” plants until they’ve had a little extra chance to come back. THANK YOU, COLIN & SOONER! For reminding me why I buy here! Eleanor |

This year they bloomed for the first time and were pink--Wedding Gown is always white. When I contacted Sooner with a photo showing the pink blooms, they immediately shipped me two replacement Wedding Gown hydrangeas at no charge to me. Today I received two beautiful hydrangeas full of white blooms, and they were two gallon not the small one gallon size I ordered last year! I've always been pleased with the high quality of plants from Sooner and now I know their customer service is unsurpassed as well. Kudos to Sooner Plant Farm! |

Thank you to all of you at Sooner Plant Farm. |

Positive | nelsonjmark (1 review) | On May 8, 2019, nelsonjmark Tulsa, OK wrote: I renovated all of my flower beds this spring and by renovate I mean that I went down to bare dirt and started over. I ordered plants from a handful of carefully researched online suppliers, some of which I found on this site. My experience with Sooner Plant Farm was beyond head and shoulders superior to any other supplier I dealt with. They worked with me before I placed a single order, helping me locate and identify particular plants. Every time I've dealt with Sooner, they've been helpful, patient and friendly. Sooner's plants were noticeably larger and healthier than any others. I ordered several plants from different suppliers to compare product and without fail Sooner put the competition to shame, including specialty suppliers. Sooner's prices are also better and their service is superior. What more could anyone ask? |
Positive | ShowMeGardener (1 review) | On Apr 29, 2019, ShowMeGardener Hallsville, MO wrote: I have been purchasing woody ornamentals and specimen grasses from Sooner Plant Farm for three years. In each case, I have received very fine plant materials carefully and professionally packed for shipment. To date, not a single plant has failed to root properly in the first year and fulfill my expectations in the second year and beyond. We have clay soils in mid-Missouri and we have had some cold, dry, windy winters. But the plants from Sooner have done better than every other plant source that I use. |

Second, they sent me beautiful, healthy plants at exactly the time I requested. Third, they responded quickly and personally when I had a follow-up question.

Positive | JMP59 (1 review) | On Apr 14, 2019, JMP59 North Myrtle Beach, SC wrote: I love this company and them recommend to all of my friends. I live on the coast in South Carolina about as different from Oklahoma as you can get. A couple of years ago we paid $$$$ to a local landscaper to landscape our backyard with lorapetalum, hardy salvia, muhly grass and abelia. Almost everything died in less than a year and the Landscape company was nowhere to be found. Being an Okie, myself, I figured if Sooner Plant Farm plants can grow in the Oklahoma dust bowl then they would stand a chance here. |
Positive | eag379 (1 review) | On Mar 27, 2019, eag379 Las Vegas, NV wrote: Over the past year we have ordered literally dozens of trees from something around 10 different online nurseries. The Red Maple we purchased from Sooner was by far the best tree out of all of them! Perfectly packaged and pruned. Also nobody includes the root bag or grow package and Sooner does. Six months later the tree is in perfect health and growing beautifully compared to all our other maples and oaks. And this is in the Las Vegas desert! Thank you Sooner! |

The packaging is super sturdy and designed to give the tree air as it makes its way quickly from the farm to home. Instructions are ample and very helpful, and the root sacks they come have ensured vigorous growth and health. Questions about care and planting are quickly, expertly and thoroughly answered with a palpable sense of how much they care about their plants and their customers. |

Positive | pblbsyl (1 review) | On Oct 18, 2018, pblbsyl Berkeley Lake, GA wrote: I have ordered from Sooner Plant Farm several times in the past couple of years, and every time the experience is top-notch. They have a great selection of plants, many of which are difficult to find locally. The plants have arrived well-packaged, in great condition, and are still thriving several years later. Only once have I had plants which didn't survive in transit, but that was because we had an unusual hot spell late in the season once the plants had shipped. I took photos of the plants and emailed the photos to Sooner Plant Farm, and they sent replacement plants to me at no extra charge. I will definitely continue to order from them! |

I have only a positive experience with this company. In July, knowing I would not be home during my shipping window, I ordered two Maple trees and requested a specific shipping date. The trees arrived yesterday, in great condition, and well packed. Due to flooding in our area, I again contacted Sooner Plant Farm about planting and received a response within 12 hours. What a pleasure, I cannot express how rewarding it is to deal with this business. I look forward to getting these trees planted and see the vibrant colors next fall! |
Positive | divebubba (1 review) | On Oct 16, 2018, divebubba Swainsboro, GA wrote: My plant arrived in an expertly created package. It was ventilated tough cardboard. The plant was attached solidly to the package bottom so even the roughest handling could not dislodge it. The root ball was shrink wrapped to prevent any spillage and the foliage was free and unrestricted. The product was shipped in one business day from OK to my home in TX. The root ball was moist and easily planted. The biodegradable pot made the thorny barberry easy to handle Thanks Sooner Plant Farm for a pleasant experience. |

They quickly responded to e-mails requesting information before my purchase, even including photos of the trees I would receive. I submitted a pre-order several months in advance and the trees were shipped on the date promised. It took them 5 days to get here and to be honest I was nervous to open the boxes when they arrived. I opened them and the trees were packaged extremely well for the journey and all looked perfectly healthy. I ordered Taylor Juniper's which are hard to find. The web site did state the tree size however, I do wish they were a little larger for the money paid. Overall, I'm very pleased, thank you so much!! |

This company stands by it's plants if you follow a few reasonable rules. The plants always exceed my expectations and are ready to adapt and grow here, not the easiest place to garden as I live on a sand and gravel dump left by the glaciers. The plants often come in "root pouches". Do not fear them. The feeder roots are intact and this gives them a leg up on adjusting to your garden. |

On the day my order was to ship it was noticed that the tree to be sent may have been miss marked. Because of the uncertainty they Called to discuss the options. They could have just sent the tree they had, but wanted the order to be right, We spent nearly 30 minutes discussing the situation then the site for the tree, sun, soil, space etc. Then reached a decision. My Shirazz Japanese Maple has a new home! The tree arrived quickly and in wonderful condition. I have already made an additional order. Thanks Guys! |

Worth, TX and was looking for a particular kind of plant and found them in a random internet search. I have used them 2 times now and bought 8 different trees from them. They arrived in perfect condition and packed very well with good instructions on how to plant them and care for them. After a couple of my crape myrtles bloomed and had pink instead of violet flowers, they quickly answered my email and are going to send me the correct plants. They have been very professional and courteous. I will use them again for sure and have referred them to several friends. |
