Comments regarding Onalee's Seeds, LLC

I was looking for a certain type of seed and found Onalee's site on Google. In just a few days, I received the seeds from her and have found her to be both professional and "down home" at the same time and felt very comfortable and important to her. I like that very much. I'm very impressed with Onalee's and would recommend her to others without hesitation.

WOW! What a delight it is to have found Cucuzzi seeds (an Italian gourd) thur Onalee's. Super fast shipping. This was
a childhood comfort food. Receiving the seeds so quickly
was thrilling to know: come springtime we can continue
the legacy. Thank You Onalee's Home Grown Seeds &
Plants.

After reading all the positive feedback from others, I decided to give Onalee's a try. Well, I wasn't disappointed! Fast service and good communication means that I will be ordering again from Onalee in the future!

I ordered a variety of seeds. Quick shipping and nice packaging. Everything was great. I will order from her again.

I bought seeds from Onalee twice,I got very good service and more seeds than advertised.You can't go wrong with Onlee.

5 years ago I stopped by Onalee's Nursery and purchased some crinum plants. They bloomed this year and weren't what I thought I had purchased. While cleaning house I ran across an email I had received from her about this purchase, and thought I would just mention it to her, but didn't expect her to "make it good". I just wanted her to know that she might have mixed up her merchandise a tad. The bulbs weren't labeled when I picked them up (they were planted in a container at the time). Onalee contacted me immediately, asked a couple of questions, and INSISTED on replacing the bulbs. I explained that I didn't expect her to replace them, because the bulbs I had did live and did bloom. Onalee values her reputation and her customers good will so much that she sent the correct bulbs, with two added bulbs of another color. They arrived today. I am ecstatic - they are beautiful - fresh enough to have been dug this morning. Onalee is an A+ nursery owner. Only wish there were more business owners out there with her ethics. Thanks, Onalee.

Fast shipping. Great seeds. Good prices. Nice person to deal with. And free shipping. And free seeds too. Great all around.

I've never been more impressed by a seed company. Besides getting my order in record speed, my mail contained seed envelopes full of information including a picture of a seedling, and all of the germination and growing requirements anyone could possibly hope for. The milkweed envelope even included a description of butterfly cats and cautioned about not killing them along with aphids! She truly has thought of everything to help any new or experienced gardener. Her prices are great, a bonus pack of seeds is included, and shipping if free. Need I say more??

Great information on website for selecting seeds and plants. Very detailed instructions included. Seeds appear to be high quality. Reasonably priced. Will do business again!

Very nice lady...I accidently clicked to include insurance & she corrected that right away. Also sent a pkg of free seeds. Seed instructions were very informative. Will definately do business with her again. Here's hoping you will give her an order....you won't be disappointed.

First class seeds all the way!

A real pleasure to do business with. Fast shipping! I'm sure I will return for future orders. Since I ordered seeds I will have to return for further feedback after Spring planting.

First, but by no means last time buyer. Excellent service and planting instructions. Packaging was outstanding.

I started using Onalee's this summer, and have since ordered seeds. Service is prompt and packing and shipping is exceptional. Onalee has a good selection of Southern plants and can't be beat for great service!

Ordered moonflower seeds & only 1 out of 7 vines produced a couple flowers...The flowers that bloomed had NO FRAGRANCE whatsoever....The other vines that grew produced flower buds but then every single one of them turned black...
Tho the seeds I ordered arrived very quickly I was very disappointed in the obvious bad batch of seeds!

I have never heard a word from this customer telling me that they were unhappy - not one. Obviously, the seeds germinated, so they weren't 'bad seeds'. I have no control over the growing conditions after that and growing conditions are what will determine how a plant performs - temperature, moisture, type of soil, amount of sun, fertilizer, etc. all play a part in how well a plant grows and blooms. I'm sorry that this customer is unhappy, and I would have been happy to go over all this with them and either replace the seeds or refund their money, if they had only contacted me rather than go directly to the negative feedback route. With 581 positive reviews here and over 7,400 positive feedbacks on ebay (and NO NEGATIVES until this one), I think that it would be clear that if you just contact me, I will make sure your concerns are addressed."

First time buyer with Onalee. Ordered the Mexican Petuna
Seeds in Chi Chi Pink. Fast delivery and very well wrapped. Will definitely be back again

Wonderful fast service. I have had great luck with seeds, plants and cuttings from Onalee's. Always a pleasure to do business with this company.

Wow. Amazingly fast and accurate service. Last Friday, I emailed a question. Received a reply later that day. Ordered seed packets that evening. Immediately received email confirmation. On Saturday morning, received email on shipping notification. Package in mail today!

Everything was exactly as ordered. The seed packets were protected with bubble wrap. They include a lot of helpful information, including a seedling picture. At first, I was put off by having a seedling instead of a flower. Then I realized, I could find the flower picture anywhere. But no one else tells me what to look for in the garden. How helpful !! Otherwise, I might "weed" my seedlings.

Thanks Onalee!!

Thanks for pointing that out! Believe me, finding a photo of a seedling is extremely difficult, even on some of the most common plants. I hate not knowing what the seedlings look like; I never know what might be weeds or what are my plants if it's something I've never grown before! I do try to describe the plant in the description area of the seed packs so you can remember what they are."

Incredibily fast service - well packaged - sure will be back !!

Excellent communication and fast service. Helpful and complete seed planting instructions printed right on the seed packet, along with a photo of what the seedling will look like when it germinates! Unbelievable service.

It is obvious Onalee takes great pride in her company and the products she offers. I will certainly purchase from Onalee again. Highly recommended.

9/24/09 Seed Order Received From Onalee Seeds
Order was received well packaged with bubble wrapping.
It was shipped quickly and the postage was very reasonable. Order was paid with a postal money order.
I appreciate being able to do it that way! Onalee has some unique seeds that is hard to find at other seed sources. Generous amount of seeds sent for the price
listed! It seems obvious this person loves what she does
for a living, gardening! Maryanne (cannabinatea)

I have ordered several times from Onalee, and I look forward to the next time I do business with her because, each time, she has exceeded my expectations with her concise communication and excellent service. Superb business practices, Onalee. Keep up the excellent customer care and product quality. I know I'll be ordering again soon.

I ordered a variety of seeds and plants from Onalee's and would highly recommend her to anyone that would like very good plant's,seeds, instructions and packaging. All i can say is i will definitely be ordering more items soon.

082009 -- Today I received two Milk & Wine crinum bulbs as ordered, at the time predicted. Order was well-tracked and prepared, with planting instructions provided before bulbs arrived. Packaging was innovative and creative plus highly effective. Moist newspaper packing material kept the roots viable, and I was able to get them in the ground just ahead of an approaching rain front. Trimmed foliage appears to be quite healthy, so I have great expectations of enjoying blooms soon. Great follow-through by Onalee throughtout the ordering and delivery process. Definitely a highly favorable experience....

I purchased 2 Crinum Lily bulbs from Onalee's Home Grown Seeds & Plants. They are HUGE !!!! I never expected to get such beautiful plants. Don't worry, Onalee knows how to ship orders so they don't get bruised by the mailman.
I'm very happy with this first purchase and I will be back for more goodies.

Thanks Onalee

For a "small business", you are more professional than most of the, "big ones." Received order of seeds quickly, and in the most organized and informational manner. I am highly impressed and will certainly order again. It's my pleasure to be a customer of yours. Thank you!!!

My order shipped quickly and was received in perfect condition. Great communication from the seller.The instructions on the seed packs are very detailed. Thank you!

Only good things to say about my experience and Onalee.

I ordered a fairly large quantity of Hibiscus sabdariffa seeds from Onalee's. I was quite happy to find them in quantity at a very reasonable price. The order came quickly. I planted the day after I receive the seeds and they popped up in about 2 or 3 days. Excellent germination rate, 100%.
I would definitely purchase from Onalee's again. Great selection and service.

Awesome fast shipping and the prices are great. I'm a new customer and I'll be returning again and again.
Thanks Onalee!

I've bought seeds quite a few times so I'm a return pleased customer. Always receive seeds with fast service, love the choices of morning glories and appreciate the extra bonus seeds. Thank you Onalee.

First experience ordering from Onalee's and it was an excellent transaction. I found Onalee by googling Budda's Palm. The beautiful plant arrived in two days and looked, oh so healthy!!! The planting instructions site is excellent, I'll be back!!!!

Thanks Onalee, if only everyone could run their businesses like you!!!

top notch-great price and super fast shipping. I WILL BE BACK !!

It was certainly a pleasure doing business with Onalee. As a matter of fact, she contacted me - per my request - from last year! Had several questions regarding the Black Runners. She got back with perfect answers right away. The plants arrived quickly, and just as advertised. Outstanding service. **** Cudos to Onalee.......!!! ****

This was my first experience ordering from Onalee's home grown seeds and plants and it went great. I orderd cuttings for the fragrant Night Blooming Cereus and received healthy large cuttings. I especially like the link for planting instructions for seeds and cuttings, since I am still a newbee this was a great source of information. I am positive I will be ordering again from this company.

Onalee's is the best garden site I've ever used ! I have ordered seeds and received them unbelievably quickly. And information given is excellent. This company deserves many stars for service and products! Thanks so much !

I got just what I asked for, quickly after I placed my order. Products were packed well and made the trip safely, and included appropriate instructions on each product including identification and directions on how to grow. THanks!

In rating Onalee's, I wish there was a higher rating than positive. I placed my order for passiflora incarnata seeds yesterday (Friday) and received the seeds in the mail today (Saturday). The envelope containing the seeds was wrapped in bubble-wrap and the envelope itself was printed with the germination instructions along with a photo of the seedlings. I have done business with a lot of online companies and Onalee's by far is the best. Thank you Onalee!!

Seeds arrived timely, beautifully packaged with seedling ID. Bush morning glory seedlings are thriving. Notified when requested nun's orchid was available. That plant arrived promptly, healthy, and in wonderful condition, in spite of our 96 heat.
Only positive experiences in dealing with Onalee's. Like getting pass-a-longs from a nice neighbor instead of a web site!
