They are really beautiful plants especially for the price. I've bought plants through Graceful Gardens' mail order as well as at their long-time, visible spot at the local Farmer's Market. Graceful Gardens is very well-respected in the community and online; they've been providing the greater area with am amazing variety of healthy plants for a very low price. Every other nursery in town charges at least twice as much as they do (except for the big box stores and their plants are not as healthy as those from Graceful Gardens!). I'm 100% pleased with the plants I've gotten from them. On the rare chance that one of the perennials doesn't make it the following year, it's likely due to the soil or mulch rather than anything being wrong with the plants themselves. I absolutely recommend this grower - they're fantastic to work with, good people, and know what they're doing!!! =) |

Every single one was super healthy, an incredible size, and undamaged. Their customer service is outstanding: immediate and personable. Amanda even emailed to ask if I wanted the deliveries staggered. That kind of customer care, plus the great price and quality of the plants, will keep me coming back for years. |

Got my plants yesterday and was overjoyed at the beautiful plants I received. They were packed in peanuts so no plant was crushed. I was expecting small 2-3 inch plants (like I've gotten from other nurseries) but these were big beautiful healthy plants. They've got a new customer for life. I won't order from anywhere else. Thanks Graceful Gardens!!! |

This is my third year purchasing from them and their perennials and annuals have ALWAYS been the stand-outs in my garden. I am consistently delighted with the beautiful delphiniums-they withstood terrible winds this past winter (I live on a lakefront) and did beautifully. Each spring I look forward to is searching their beautiful web-site. Opening their very carefully packed boxes (which are delivered very quickly) is like a second Christmas Free shipping an extra plus! Their six pack plants are the size usually found in 4" pots-making this a very cost-effective option. Due to changes in my schedule, had to change my ship date twice. Amanda's email responses were rapid, pleasant, very accomodating. Again, FIVE STARS PLUS!! Thanks Graceful Gardens!! On June 9th, 2014, clpgirl added the following: After ordering for, I think almost 5 years, I had another 5+star experience this year, and in 2013. Once again, easy ordering, beautiful, very diverse selection of delphs, perennials, and annuals..once again delivered appropriate time for zone and size of plants going for 3×price at local nurseries and big box stores. Planted about a month ago-cosmos,zinnias, marigolds blooming profusely, all plants at least tripled in size. THANK YOU again SO MUCH GG!!!! You remain my first spring shopping destination!! P S delphs from even five years ago survived our terribly frigid winter this year in Ohio...bought cleome first year-reseeds prolifically every year, giving me plenty to share with others! On May 26th, 2015, clpgirl added the following: After ANOTHER winter surgery, I turned to GG as soon as possible. One of my yearly pleasures and I can ALWAYS find room for more delphiniums. I continue to be amazed at how beautifully the ones I purchased 6 YEARS AGO, withstood recent frigid northern ohio winters! sooo.....of course I have to add more. The range of selection is wonderful and I am once again so very pleased with the size and health of the plants received. Not to mention they are less than half the price of the same size at our local nursery!! signed up for their email list, and unlike some other on-line vendors they only contact only about orders and sales.THANK YOU! I can't recommend GG enough-and have actually 'turned' several folks into on-line purchasers for the first time. Thank you so much for the ease of ordering, timely delivery, healthy, DURABLE, and beautiful selections. P.S. I am THRILLED that one, or more, of the hollyhocks purchased last year did not get rust, AND re-seeded, I'm so pleased to be moving baby hollyhocks throughout my garden beds. I have never had such luck with them before! |

They are plants, BTW, not itty bitty starters. They are gorgeous green, some are blooming, and frankly they look far more lush than what I have seen in our local nurseries so far this year. It has been a terrible winter for everyone, and these plants went from New York to Colorado without even flinching. Bravo! |

We hold a community plant sale in my county every year and order from GG to take advantage of free shipping for purchases made in January. The plants are AMAZING. They are perfectly packaged and are HUGE, some in bloom. I really like the way you can buy plants too, in four packs of one variety to fill up trays. Selections can be limited at GG but they are diverse and new plant selections are offered each year. My go to for ready made, very healthy plants at a fair price. |

I read many glowing reviews about them prior to ordering, and I have not been disappointed. I was amazed at how well the plants were packed and how beautiful they were. All of my questions were answered immediately and they went above and beyond to make me a more than happy customer. I recommend them highly and will certainly be purchasing from them in the future. |

I ordered on a whim as someone on a gardening forum raved about their products and I am not disappointed at all. Poppies, delphiniums, foxgloves etc. had not even one yellow leaf. Wholeheartedly recommended. :) |

Beyond that though they might have the best online shopping experience. This is how others should do business, I doubt I will buy perennials from anyone else. |

I was stunned when my order arrived--all carefully packed and ready to show off flowers in a matter of days to weeks. I took weekly photos of their progress and was never so impressed with results from mail order--heck never so impressed with even local specialty garden businesses that require no shipping to my home. Not one flower died! |

The lupines I ordered a few weeks ago are actually blooming now. Delphiniums look great, foxgloves are huge. Next year will order earlier as a few of the plants I wanted were already sold out. I would recommend them without hesitating. |

Usually there's that one plant in a pkg. of 4 that, well, is sort of the runt - smaller, feeble, just not thriving like the others. Not the case here! They're all very large, very healthy, shipping was fast & they arrived neatly packaged - not a single bent or broken leaf or stem - I'm VERY impressed. Some of the plants were a gift for my Mom, & her eyes about popped out when she saw them - she couldn't believe I got them via UPS, she kept looking from the plants to the box & back to the plants again! Post-shipment care instructions were included also. This is a place that not only takes great care with their products, but also their customers. I've been expanding my flowerbeds for years, & for the price, quality, & service, I feel like I've been getting ripped off up until now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! WILL DEFINITELY ORDER AGAIN!! THANK YOU, GRACEFUL GARDENS!!!!! =) |

I have paurchased both annuals and perennials from them over the past 4 years and am about to place my order for 2010. They even have a seperate list of deer resistant plants and since the deer really "own" my property, this is very handy. I do wish they had more plant information on their website/catalog. For example, sun vs. shade, bloom time, soil type, etc. |

Boy, Was I surprised! Compared to the other mail order plants I have received these are the best bar none. So in 2009 I went for the three tray deal - Good choice. Amanda, you are the greatest. You shipped me a second tray in 2008 without money in hand. that's unheard of these days. I sing your praise every time I get the chance. I know that at least one of my coworker has ordered plants from GG. I will be there in 2010. Mike Burton. |
Positive | nangardens (6 reviews) | On Jun 10, 2009, nangardens Jamaica, VA wrote: Ditto to the positive comments above. The plants are quite an excellent value for the $$ spent. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on my delphs; so far so good (though I have had only middling success in the past). Other items I have grown are doing well; though I've had to intervene to keep the bunnies from eating some plants (hot pepper spray seems to work for that). |

I am writing to report that evey delph I bought from them survived the winter and is doing well this year. Their plants are lush, beautiful specimens. You can tell that they simply pamper every one of them before they send them to you. This year I contacted Amanda because I couldn't find my order and I didn't want to overbuy at my local nursery, she found it within minutes and emailed me back! UNBELIEVABLE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! And get this when I noticed on my order I had already bought some Jacob's Ladder from my local nursery she changed my order to accomodate a different variety of plant immediately, she is amazing! I love this company and look forward to ordering from them every year. Thanks so much Graceful Gardens, keep up the fabulous work! |

The perennials I ordered last year are all thriving and far ahead of 2nd-year plants purchased elsewhere. And the annuals from this year are so far beyond my expectations that I find it hard to believe! No longer will I have to wait until midseason to enjoy such color. And finally I have found hollihocks and delphiniums that will thrive in my semi-shaded yard. |

These are delphiniums that are rather difficult to find in my neck of the woods so I was very happy to learn of Graceful Gardens last year. I'm ordering another tray of them for Spring 08 and expanding the order to include other trays of miscellaneous perennials and a few annuals. I'm impressed with their quality, value, and responsiveness to customers. Highly recommended. |

Any questions I had, Amanda answered personally - and extremely quickly.

In the past when I've purchased mail order plants, I have never had the entire order survive after planting. Not the case with Graceful Gardens, and you can't beat their prices! I can't wait to order from them again. I highly recommend them! |
