Just discovered T's this year when I was looking for Iris. She had very good prices and was cheaper than most plus some of her own crosses are fantastic and I hope to get more of them. She shipped them right out within a week with plenty of roots and they immediately took off growing. I also placed a 2nd order and probably got over 50 bulbs altogether including many bonuses that she thru in. Definitely recommend!

I have oredered fromT's and Flower early August 2017 and Teresa was prompt in getting back with me when her website was having some issues when I emailed her my order. Teresa was very gracious and called me back right away and processed my order.
My orders were 1 los cayotes; 1 Queen's cirlce; 1 Red Noid; 1 skating party; 1 smiling faces and 1 Thinkng out loud - this iris in particular was out , she called me back to ask me if it's okay to substitute and I said yes, Teresa instead replaced it with 2 Apparent Secret iris of my choosing which cost more than the thinking out loud iris and also gave me several bonus irises. Bonus irises are 1-Explicit, 1-Jazzz band, 1-Hot fudge, 1 -small red noid and 1 Apparent secret for a total of 5 bonuses. The package came within 2-3 days and the irises are very healthy, green and packaged well. I will continue to buy from Teresa. She also care about her customers. When I ordered 6 irises and received 5 bonus irises to go with it, you can not beat that :) . I am very excited to get to plant them when they arrive. I can only say great things about T'S flower and Things. Highly recommended seller , Thank you for my irises !! Looking forward to Spring blooms.

I just received a small order of iris rhizomes from T's Flowers & Things, that I ordered on August 26th, today is the 30th!

Well, I had only ordered 4 rhizomes and I just got the box this morning on August 30th! Well, actually I received 10 rhizomes! One variety I mentioned that I noticed was out of stock she (Teresa) sent me 2 rhizomes! What a deal! Also she had some rhizomes unavailable elsewhere! I am very happy with this order, and I will consider purchasing from her again!

Here is what I received:

2 Cruise to Autumn
2 Strange Brew
3 Trillion
2 Grape Expectations
1 Brilliance

I recently ordered an "Indian Giver" daylily. It arrived in excellent shape with multiple fans! It also was shipped very quickly. The packing was excellent and there was no damage at all. I have also ordered seeds in the past, and have had excellent germination of the Bell Flowers and Balloon Flowers. She has good prices and I am pleased with the results.

I ordered very late to get iris. I ordered 4, including one I really wanted (Trillion) that was sold out elsewhere. I called to ask if it was still available and wanted to pay via paypal to get them fast. It was, I got the paypal notice, I paid, she sent email that they were shipped and when they would get to my house. Today they arrived, got 2-3 of each and also got 5 extras as free gifts. They look alive, much better than others I got from other places. They are now planted in buckets. I am very pleased and will order earlier next time. ;)

Is one of the best on-line seed seller company that I ever contacted!! Delivery is fast, price totally affordable. The owner of the company, Teresa, is who will respond on you e-mail , ALWAYS gentle and professional. I bought a good amount of seeds early this year (January 2013) and all my garden was an explosion of flowers, despite this was my very first year of serious gardening....I will order again definitively!!

Update 2014-2015 season:
Since the unbeatable price I ordered some more items from this company,more confident than the previous year since the incredible results. This time it didn`t go exactly well:
I ordered 4 differents (seed) species:
Caryopterisblue mith , Agastache foeniculum, Digitalis and Lobelia (syphilitica and Cardinalis).
Only the digitalis(foxglove) germinate...The condition of germination were practically perfect, temperature between 50-60 degree and the right light setting....Other seeds form other company made very easily...Now I understood that some species (eg lobelia) are not easy to germinate (e.g lobelia), but for the Agastache is just not the case...I ordered exactly the same species to another company,and it did germinate at lower temperature (50s) in just 8 days...I have for this purpose mixed feeling in regard...Since the large selection , my previus experience and price I will give another chance next year, but for this year, although I feel bas I have to change positive to neutral
On February 10th, 2015, LanfrancoLeo changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:

I immediately received an e-mail from Teresa trying to figured out how and why the seeds did not germinate. Thing that I really appreciated, I realized that at least for caryopteris the problem could had been the very, very , dry storage for 6 month in my place.We are trying to figured out the rest. I have to say she immediately offered a reimbursement and she really care about her customer. The chat make me confident that when I will order again to Teresa there will be a person available to understand and figured out a reasonable solution to make both happy at the and of the order. As I told before I will order some more seeds in the near future , and hopefully I will have the wonderful experience that I had with my first order.

I was so excited to find T's site with a good variety of $1 packets and daylily seeds. After seeing the positive reviews, I ordered a few packets of seeds and daylily seeds. I'm very excited to try growing daylilies from seed. Good shipping time and packaging. They came in coin envelopes with planting information printed on the labels. Thanks.

I am very pleased with this company. Almost all the seeds (except iris and daylily) are $1 a packet. So even with a limited budget, I was able to buy many kinds. In addition, she carries the little glassine envelopes (like waxed paper) that are so useful for very small seeds—and those are 15 for $1. So I feel that I really got a lot for my money, and the service was excellent too.

I ordered online June 10, 2014 and mailed my money order the next day. Teresa emailed me right away to let me know that all the seeds I ordered were in stock. My order came on June 19. That’s excellent turnaround time, especially since I’m in California and she’s in Indiana.

The seeds are packaged in little manila envelopes with detailed labels. They list whether the variety needs sun or shade, how tall it gets, etc., and in addition they give detailed instructions on how to germinate the seeds. Most of the labels also include a photo. She even wrote a little note of extra advice on a couple of the packets. I will order again!

I recently ordered some iris from the large list of varieties T's Flowers & Things offers for sale. Teresa answered my emails promptly and went out of her way to keep me updated about when my iris were shipping out. The iris rhizomes I received were large and very healthy and she even included bonus rhizomes for me. Her prices are very reasonable and she has a number of iris varieties that are hard to find anywhere else. I plan on ordering more iris from her again in the future and highly recommend this nursery.

T's flowers took me from being blase' about iris to a true believer. They may only bloom a week or two, but oh what a week! I can't walk outside without marveling at them.

I wound up at her shop to locate a traditional favorite that I saw at someone's home, and wound up with half a dozen incredibly beautiful, stunning even, other varities.
Every year I come back and am shocked she is still selling them for such incredible prices. All the brochures I get from gardening companies have less than 1/10th the variety and are charging three times as much.

Only one complaint - I wish she would send out invitations when she posts the avavable stock each summer. I want to be camping out to be at the head of the line.

thank you, T

UNBELIEVABLE!! This was my first order and experience with T's and it will most certainly NOT be my last. I ordered 3 daylilies from her, two of which I had been looking for for some time. They were clearly dug, pkgd and shipped almost immediately - she even sent me an email telling me they had been shipped the day before and I should see them the following day! When I opened the box, I realized the box was practically bulging from the HUGE size of the plants she had sent. Many growers send double fans and they can be kind of 'wimpy' by the time you get them. Not with T's! She sent 3 and 4 fan plants and the greenery on them was still firm and upright. AND, on top of the great plants, she included 3 seedlings with parentages noted. Some folks include a bonus plant. She included 3 and they were from great crosses!! I can hardly wait for next summer to see what they actually look like when they bloom!! Thanks T's - You'll be getting plenty of business from me in the future. It is almost impossible to find this kind of customer service in this world anymore. I found it HERE!!!

Prompt shipping, kind and courteous individual to work with. Teresa has very fair prices and the shipping is unbeatable! She was out of a certain seed, refunded the $ and then a seedling was out so she substituted with 2 others. More than fair and I received an explanation about the refund and the substitution. She was having a double sale and it was the next week when I inquired . . she gave it to me early!
Most importantly I received great customer service . . which in any industry seems to be very lacking nowadays. Not here Teresa was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend her services, product and website. Thank you so very much Teresa for the positive experience!

I've ordered seeds from Theresa several times over the last five years or so. The orders are delivered promptly and I just couldn't be more pleased with her service. Please check out the website and the plans for the plant stand. At a dollar a pack, this site is a great place for both the budding gardener who wants to try several plants and the more experienced gardener who is looking for something not readily found elsewhere.

I'd ordered seeds a few years ago and had no problems. This year I've been really busy and decided to order live plants. Everything was shipped very quickly, carefully packed, and looks just fantastic. I have no doubt that if I do my due diligence about siting everything correctly, these plants will do well for me. She's got a great, interesting selection for a small operation, but the best thing is getting first-class, personal service for such affordable prices.

My first order from T's was in mid-2009 when I found that she had strawberry plants available for autumn planting. All were reasonably healthy plants which were shipped timely; they established good root systems before going dormant for winter. I ordered some seeds this year for varieties that I didn't find elsewhere. I look forward to future orders.

I ordered 8 packages of seeds, 3 types of hollyhocks (that I couldn't find elsewhere) 2 types of butterfly bush, 2 types of mulva and a packet of mixed bonnet type columbine.

I recieved the order within 3 days of placing it and planted everything except the columbine the day after the seeds arrived, I put the columbine in the freezer for the 5 to 7 day freeze as mentioned on the seed packet.

It's still too early to report on germination rates... but so far, the service has been great.

I was excited to find T's website and the selection of seeds and plants. I placed an order and selected to make payment by check. I sent my check in promptly, but did not receive the order. After 2 weeks had passed, I emailed asking when I might expect shipment. I received a reponse that payment had not been received. I contacted my bank to see if the check had been received and paid. It had. When I called Teresa, she told I needed to send a copy of the cancelled check to show that I had actually paid for the order and that she had actually endorsed it. I checked online and found a copy of the check endorsed by Teresa. I received a phone call from Teresa. She had finally found something to indicate that she might have cashed my check. I told her I was disappointed in the way this matter was handled. I will be watching for a refund in the mail.

Teresa sent my check back and included some seed packets. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and the note she included. Sometimes first impressions can be proven wrong. I am glad to know that I was dealing with a caring individual who sought to make amends. Next time I will not post so hastily.

Since she has some wonderful BF host plants and good values, I will try again next spring.

I suppose I deserve this. I did make a mistake. I apologized to Sandra and told her I'd send a refund immediately, and the soonest I can do that is tomorrow. I don't have foolproof methods, and I am prone to a mistake once in a while, especially with the work load I have. So yes, if you are concerned about an individually owned and operated business...from top to bottom.. by a person who might make a mistake, then it's not wise to order from me.

But I do my very best, at the utmost speed, to correct any mistake I might make. I do not cheat or defraud people, and I try to give the best possible service and product I can.

It is just sad to me that one is so quick to post a negative, but yet has never made any positive posts...and that within 15 minutes of our phone conversation where I indicated I would send a refund immediately.
