Comments regarding Classy Groundcovers

I have ordered many day lilies from Classy Groundcovers - they have all done spectacularly. I order plants every year. Great product

Last year I placed an order for Veronica 'Georgia Blue', Deer Mix and a Phlox Mix which included 'Drummond's Pink', 'Candy Stripe' and 'Snowflake'. They were all planted at the same time in the same bed under the same conditions. The Phlox were planted in drifts of colors. This spring almost every plant survived with the notable exception of the 'Drummond's Pink' Phlox. Not one of those plants returned - nil, zilch - leaving a large bare space in the planting. All of the other plants surrounding them came back, but none of the "Drummond's Pink'. I contacted Classy Groundcovers who advised me that 1. They do not guarantee nor replace plants. 2. There was nothing wrong with the plants. 3. It must have been something I did, or a fungus, or some other reason that the plants did not survive. I was offered a 40% discount if I wish to reorder them, but this I declined. It makes no sense to me that these would be the only plants that did not survive under this set of circumstances unless the problem was with the plants themselves and I am very disappointed that this company will not make good on my loss.

I am sorry that you were unhappy that we would not replace your plants for free, our low pricing does not permit that. The plants were delivered a year ago. If there had been something wrong with the plants it would have shown up sooner than this. We received no other complaints about that plant. "

Plants from classy groundcovers ship fast and in great condition. Prices are in bulk and perfect for large projects.

I bought over a hundred dollars of late blooming daylilles from this company and they sent me common roadside dayliles which I couldn't know until a year later when they bloomed. I have hundreds of the common day lilies and specifically bought the late blooming doubles to extend the color in the garden after the common daylilies were done blooming. This was no mistake on their part, they knew that they were sending something that I had not ordered. The late bloomers are distinct from the common roadside daylily and were shown by the Kwansa name and photo by the company on their website. I don't know how they got these high ratings that lead me to buy them based on the Dave's Garden reviews. I wonder if these are real customers or company planted reviews. This is a dishonest company.

If you believe that we sent you the wrong daylilies, why didn't you contact us? We would never send the wrong daylilies on purpose. It is not too late to contact us to resolve this matter. I found your order and you did order Kwansos, but you are mistaken that they are late-season bloomers. Even Dave's page ([HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]) lists them as mid-season bloomers (regular ditch daylilies are early-season, reblooming into mid-season). The blooms differ, not the bloom time. If you believe that the blooms on the ones we sent do not match the blooms of Kwanso you should contact us and we can refund or replace them.
Compare the Kwanso blooms at the link above to the ditch daylily blooms at [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] - they are similar but have distinctions, you should be able to tell what you have.

I've ordered a couple of hundred plants in several batches, and I'm still surprised every time by how healthy and happy the plants are. Bare root plants with little leaves, ferns loaded with tightly coiled fiddleheads, and happy, healthy potted plants. I just ordered another batch.

It seems almost unnecessary to leave yet another good review, but they really are fantastic.

Purchased 108 Liriope spicata plants in c. 2.5" containers: all but 3 were severely rootbound. The remaining 3 were only moderately rootbound. A humorist would say that I received much more than what I ordered; a gardener would say that significant additional time was required in order to plant. (Cutting the roots to open them seemed as if it would have destroyed almost all the roots since they wound around the planting medium numerous times.)

CG has done it again. 25 healthy, large plants of dwarf mondo grass in small pots. Excellent condition, good shipping just at the time I requested. Good communication from the company about my order and how to track it. I will buy from this company again, especially for things I can't find locally.

All 25 Elfin Creeping Thyme arrived looking healthy and full. Even though the delivery person left the box on its side, they were packaged in such a way that they were perfectly protected. Very happy. Thanks!

Product arrived on time and in GREAT condition. We could not locate our product online in any other place so we were very happy when we saw it on Classy Groundcover's web page.

We will use Classy Groundcover's again. Excellent online order experience.

I Highly recommend them for your consideration!

Have placed, received, and planted 2 orders for total of 75 plants. Prices are good, material is excellent, delivery as promised. Will order more in fall.

Ordered 50 bare-root Japanese pachysandra plants in spring of 2020. Plants were shipped very quickly, were packaged well, and arrived in great shape. All in all, I couldn't be happier.

Our first order was for 1000bareroot pachysandra inIL under pines did beautifully
Now in FL liriope and ajuga small pots perfect
Had a chat today with an online expert who guided us well for the next order

I have ordered hundreds of bare root plants over the last two years. The plants arrive in excellent condition with good root systems and well prepared for planting. All of last years plants appear to have survived and are thriving. I will be reordering as soon as I can prepare the beds. Classy Groundcovers is a very reliable company.

No complaints. Everything arrived in good condition. Would use again with no hesitation

Wow! You exceeded my expectations by miles!

I was apprehensive, since I’d never ordered these online.
But my Creeping Thyme just arrived in perfect shape, lovingly packaged and healthier than any that I’ve purchased at my local nursery.

And at a fraction of the cost!

Thank you so much, I am now a customer for life!!!

I am so happy I found you on the internet. I took a chance ordering from you only because you were the only place I could find the unusual plant I was looking for. I bought 25 and am coming back for another 25. The plants were in beautiful shape when they arrived, sturdy, healthy, strong plants. I think the price is very reasonable and the fact that you don't charge for shipping is awesome. When I sent in a question about my order, I got an immediate response. I'm sure I will continue to be a repeat customer.

Ordered 25 Ajuga plants. Order was immediately confirmed, tracking number given within a couple days and plants arrived healthy shortly thereafter. Packing was perfect. Plants have been growing extremely well. Very pleased. Highly recommend this Company

My dad is homebound due to being high-risk for COVID-19 but does not shop online, so I ordered some Ceratostigma on his behalf after seeing the positive reviews here. He was very happy with the quality and root systems of the plants received, and I was also very impressed with the photos he sent me! In fact he asked me to order more items just the other day. Very convenient and safe to be able to order them and have them shipped directly to him for planting. :-) Five stars for plants, price, and service! :-D

I ordered from Classy Groundcovers for the first time. I received the plants very quickly (within a few days) and everything was in great condition. I have several very long garden beds that are new (new construction and getting my landscaping in order). It's fantastic being able to order in bulk with reasonable prices. Everillo Sedge, Southern Shield Ferns, Astilbe mix--they all look great. I will be ordering from this company again, and very soon.

I am so excited to have found your website. I have been looking for some ground covers which lead me to you......looking for liriope/monkey grass. I just ordered some with bare roots and will be anxious to receive them and get them planted right away. I am starting a large landscaping plan in my back yard using primarily drought tolerant plants, and wanted this plant to fill in with some color on the borders. I used this plant many, many years ago in a different climate zone, so I am looking forward to using it here in Colorado (zone 5b). Ordering was very easy and the listings of plants was clear and concise. I will be using again.

I was needing to fill a newly created large space with plant material. To make it more difficult it was on a hill and facing a Lake Erie. I've learned that plants listed for our USDA Hardiness Zone don't always work due to the wind perhaps? Still learning there. Of course I wanted to acquire bare rooted plants because of the large area I was planting and not wanting to break the bank. CGC wasn't my first choice for provider but I got more comfortable with their website and eventually purchased quite a lot of bare rooted plants. Everyone says bare rooted have a lot of risk of failure, but I was pleasantly surprised with CGC's great communication about the order status, packing and speed of delivery. Now for results? 95% survival and 90% vigorous growth. I'm impressed and will reach out to CGC again!

very easy shopping experience. loads of information and variety. order was very compact (54 plants) and packaged nicely. plants were all in good condition and took right away.

RE: Pachysandra terminalis

They're so healthy! The plants arrived in great condition, and I hope they take over the shady (yucky weeds and dreadful grass) area quickly and thoroughly. The first 150 plants are in, and I'm sure we will be re-ordering.

Beautiful plants...well packed and arrived ready to put in the ground.....so far they look great. Thanks! Ron

My order of variegated lily turf arrived exactly when requested. It was wonderfully packed, with damp newspaper protecting the little pots. I had a planting question and the customer service rep was very helpful. The plants went in and immediately perked up and started to take hold. It has been a couple of weeks and they are all showing signs of new growth. I couldn't be more pleased and would order again from this company.

I was so pleased with what I received. The Liropie was healthy and really big! I was so happy that I ordered 50 more.

I placed my order with Classy Groundcovers on a Sunday and the plants showed up on my door step on Tuesday in perfect condition. I can't wait to plant my Black Dragon Mondo Grass. I wanted to order the Mondo Grass directly from a nursery instead of a big box store. It was a pleasure to work with Classy Groundcovers.

Excellent experience both times I've used them. Healthy plants, prompt delivery, and very helpful service.

This is my third or fourth order with Classy Groundcovers and each order has been for many plants. I cannot say enough good about the company. The personal service is delightful and the plants are great. One time they even called me to let me know that an order would be billed in a different amount since I qualified for a quantity discount. Now that is great service. No complaints just many compliments.

I have ordered from Classy Groundcovers for years and have always been more than pleased with this business. Easy ordering, quick delivery, and super healthy plants. I have a high end landscaping company in Charleston, SC and it's nice to have a dependable source for consistently quality plants.

I ordered one thousand of the bare root plants and was surprised to see that when they arrived that each plant had a small amount of very healthy green leaves already! They are thriving in my flower beds in Litchfield County CT. I am getting ready to put in another large order!

I ordered 25 Liriope spicata (creeping lilyturf), bareroot. They were delivered promptly and in good condition. The bunch actually included a few extra.

I was very impressed with the way the plants were packed for shipping and the quality of the plants. They were very healthy and robust.

Order some lovely little English Ivy Plants. These little plants arrived fresh and packaged well in their box, not a damaged one among them. We were only able to half in one weekend, sprayed them to keep them moist in their dirt ball and then plant the rest the next week. No problems. Actually we will be ordering more.

Bare root ivy plants arrived on time and in good condition. Have always had good experiences with this company.

The plants arrived well packed, obviously had been watered before packing. I took the time to read the instructions before planting and found that I have enough time before our temps drop too low.

They are all in the ground. So far I have not seen any stress from the transplanting.

Now for Spring to arrive to see how they do.

I ordered 10 Christmas ferns from Classy Groundcovers. They arrived promptly in good condition (bare root plants) and are doing well in my garden. Instructions provided were clear. I will use this vendor again.

I have ordered from them three times (bare root plants and potted) so far and am yet to be disappointed. Each time the plants arrived on time, packaged with care and looking perfectly healthy. They were packaged in a sturdy, waxed cardboard box, surrounded by newspaper.
Their "Plant Finder" system is a breeze to use and allows you to narrow down your needs and planting conditions to find what you're looking for.
They also allow you to schedule your exact shipping date and provide an estimate of how long your plants will take to arrive based on your zip code. If you want to plant Saturday morning, you can very easily arrange to have the plants there on Friday afternoon, with minimal transit time involved.

I purchased 75 bare root liriope muscari royal purple from CG. Service was excellent from initial questions, through purchase and shipping, and website we very helpful for planting instructions. Based on this experience I purchased from them again.
