All arrived well packaged in moist pots. All are growing well - good value as most were half off. |

They don't charge you until the plant materials are in the pipeline and they know they have it in stock. |

All the same species all planted in same bed, soil and light. Think their root mass was too small. Would change this rating to neutral but since I wait so long I don't feel that would be fair. I haven't purchased from them since, but I'm not saying I wouldn't. Just more selective next time. |
Positive | SunshineMaura (1 review) | On Jun 2, 2012, SunshineMaura Strasburg, CO wrote: Well I ordered from Bluestone for the first time about two months ago. I originally ordered four plants and decided I wanted to add one more last minute (five days later). So I called to see if I could and they told me my order had been processed but they would be happy to add my desired plant. I was a lil nervous that my order would be incorrect or be pushed back due to my addition but I was pleasantly surprised when the order arrived less then a week later correct and packed very nicely. As it said in other reviews the plants were pretty small (but for me part of the enjoyment will be helping them to grow)... unfortunately two did not make it. So I called Bluestone to get them replaced and they were out of the one I had originally ordered till fall. So I really wanted to get it planted asap so I accepted a different kind of Clematis instead. This time the two replacement plants were not packed well and the post office obviously miss handled it cause there was no dirt in either pot and the plants arrived dead. Sooooo I called again kind of ready to give up but wanting to let them know my disappointment. Bluestones customer service is EXCEPTIONAL! Even with the let downs I will order from them based on the type of customer service they provide (polite understanding and timely) The truth is there is always a chance of mishandling especially when you are ordering a plant from across the country but Bluestone stayed true to there guarantee and made me feel they were happy to do it. Some of the other places I have ordered from made me feel like an inconvenience if I asked any questions even during my purchase. These other companies have made it even more difficult to feel confident that if there is an issue with the order that it will be handled in a customer service orientated manner. Even if the plants arrive more mature I prefer enjoying every part of my gardening experience (even purchasing)! I will definitely continue to use Bluestone and look forward to receiving the original clematis I ordered in the fall! There is no substitute for great service and feeling like a valued customer Thank You Bluestone! |

My first order has arrived, and the plants looks happy and healthy, far larger than their previous small 3-packs. The issues they had last fall (when I received one plant from them) as they changed their growing pots have been resolved with a combination of new soil and different shipping style. It only took me a few minutes to unpack my boxes, the plants all looked great, and only a tiny amount of plastic. Last fall I trimmed the top of the coir pot to soil line and then planted it, and I'll do the same this year. The coir will disintegrate over time, adding organics to the bed, and is loose enough for roots to grow through without being pinched, so I am pleased with the whole new system. Great service, healthy plants. |

Growing, green, lush, with damp soil still in the pots. I do have to say I love the new pots. Excellent choice for growing and shipping it seems. The prices have gone up but so has the size of the plants which for me is a good thing. No digging through "peanuts" to find plants is a plus. I will continue to do business Bluestone Perennials. |

Positive | cobbie (4 reviews) | On May 30, 2012, cobbie South Beloit, IL wrote: In April 2012, I contacted Bluestone Perennials regarding 2 Brunnera plants that I had ordered from them in the Spring of 2011. Much to my dismay, the plants did not come up again in 2012. They promised to send out replacements, and they did. However, one of the replacement plants I received was quite tiny (maybe 2” tall & 2” wide, with fingernail-sized leaves). I sent them a letter, saying that if this had been the original plant I received when I first ordered, I would have been very upset. Since the tiny plant was a plant that they replaced free of charge, I didn’t feel that I could complain too much, but I wanted to make the point that I was not completely happy with my order. You can imagine my surprise when I received not one, but TWO more, BIG, BEAUTIFUL brunneras! As always, their customer service was wonderful, and I really felt that they went "above and beyond" what was required in this case. I will definitely not hesitate to order from them again. |

I added 10 to 12 new plants this spring, and all are thriving. My neighbors are always asking about my variety of plants, and I never hesitate to direct them to Bluestone Perennials. The customer service is incomparable. |

The plants I ordered earlier in the year and planted in early May are all doing well at this point. |

The plants are gorgeous--healthy, well-packed, and shipped much more quickly than other places. I am also pleased that they let me know which order was shipping and on what date. The plants I planted from my first order are doing better than other companies--we've had an unusually hot and dry spring and the Bluestone plants are a head above the others (who shall remain nameless but which were more expensive). Will definitely order again. |

I've been ordering from them for about 5 years. I'm very happy with the plants I received in the past and I am still happy with the plants I received this year. The plants are in very good shape. I've never had a plant from Bluestone fail in my garden. I will keep ordering plants from Bluestone-until I no longer have any garden space left :o)) |

Sure, I've had a few plants that weren't as well-rooted as others, I've had some "clearance sale" plants that looked a little scraggly, and I've even had a few plants that didn't end up making it. But, that can also be said about plants I've bought from other high quality online sellers, Lowe's, and local nurseries. The vast majority of my plants have done very well. Their customer service is fast, fair, and friendly, and I LOVE the Coco Pots and packaging. And, I definitely love the coupons that come with each new order! |

Our lack of snowcover caused most of the colombine and all of the foxgloves to die their first winter in the ground. As this was a hard winter that way, I did not expect to get a replacement shipment, but to my surprise I will be receiving new plants this week. Their customer service has always been great, this time they are outdoing themselves! |

BIG mistake. I ordered 6 delphiniums from the first "cheaper place" (not mentioning names) and just got an ENTIRE package infected with crown rot. The second store (again, won't mention names) I ordered 6 Tangerine Geums and they all came so root bound I had to practically step on the roots in order to loosen them :( |

I am disappointed in the number of negative comments about the new catalog. I went back to look at my order back in February to compare it to the new catalog when I saw all these comments. I had ordered 21 different perennials, so a good cross section of prices. The prices for the individual plants did not change at all. The price difference did show up with the comparison to the old "3 pack" but that is not a fair comparison and I think that is where the negative comments have gone wrong. The old 3 pack were very small plants compared to the new pots they are using, honestly the plants did so well it really was not necessary to have a 3 pack. Compared to other online nurseries their prices are competitive. Comparing them to a local nursery or big box store makes no sense, the variety that you get at Bluestone cannot be matched at a local nursery and they should not pretend to compete against those prices. We have to take our postings seriously, many of these nurseries are family owned small businesses that are trying to make it in a tough economy, as we all are. They should be applauded for listening to their customers in getting rid of the peanuts (and who wants to be bothered with returning them). They did not go the easy route of just copying other vendors, they got creative and came up with the coco pots not as a money making adventure but as a win-win for their customers and the environment. You may pay more than before but that is no reason for a negative rating, they give superior customer service and deliver high quality plants. That is what they should be judged on. On February 7th, 2012, pmabreu added the following: After all the comments about the prices I decided to compare Bluestone to a Watchdog top 30 company. I chose six plants from each, Delphinium, Coreopsis, Rudbeckia, Salvia, Penstemon and a Lupine. A good cross section of perennials. There were not exact matches on the varieties but close enough. I did not use any discounts or sale items. The price difference before shipping was $3.00 more for Bluestone, it was a total of $49.70 for Bluestone and $46.70 for the other company. Yes perhaps Bluestone's prices are more than before but the fair thing is to compare to other companies in their industry and on that measure they are about equal. People looking at these reviews may think that Bluestone is incredibly expensive compared to other companies and that simply is not true nor fair to them. On May 11th, 2012, pmabreu added the following: Received my shipment of 15 plants last week, the first since they went to the coco pots. I can now say definitively that the plants are bigger than before with the three packs. The plants look to be in excellent health and the packaging was perfect. I will reiterate what I have said before, that it was wrong what happened to this company with the negative comments about the price increases with the change in packaging. The negative comments were not about service or quality of plants. This company went out of its way to answer customer complaints about packaging (ie, peanuts) and came up with an innovative solution that is good for the environment. The negative comments removed Bluestone from the top 30 so the message we are sending to all companies out there is that you should not change your business practices to be environmentally sensitive or else you will face a backlash. I don't think that is the message we want to be sending. Perhaps the injustice can be rectified with an increase from Top 30 to a Top 40 or 50, because the Top 30 distinction is very important for these family businesses. On May 11, 2012, Bluestone Perennials responded with: "On Aug 23, 2011 2:51 PM, Bluestone Perennials responded with: Thank you so much, pmabreu! You have hit the nail on the head, and we are grateful for your support. We have just posted a video showing our new pot, the new size (with a size comparison) and the new packaging. The link is above, but it is http://www.youtube.com/user/BluestonePerennials?feature=mhee We start shipping next week and the plants look fantastic!" |

I needed 2 day lilies and saw the new use of coco planters and that the size of the plants were larger than in past years. Trusting the fact they guarantee the plants, I ordered them. They arrived on time and WOW. The plants arrived healthy, green, safe and secure and well packaged. They were so easy to plant and had no wilting problems. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Very very satisfied as usual. Can't wait to see the first blooms. |

My most recent order arrived Friday 5/4/2012. The plants were a good size and very healthy, with blooms on some plants. I have no problem paying a bit more for larger plants. I agree with other posters who object to negative ratings due to price and packaging changes. I found Bluestone because of good ratings on Daves Garden. If they had changed their prices 2 years ago, they would not have made the top 50 and I would not have tried them. |

I just received my first order since they changed to the coco pots and the plants all arrived in good condition. If you don't like the coco pots they are easy enough to cut apart to get the plants out of them, but I left them on when I planted. I like that you don't have to worry about disturbing the roots in these coco pots. |
Positive | LAS14 (1 review) | On May 4, 2012, LAS14 Albany, ME (Zone 4b) wrote: I've shopped at Bluestone for over 20 years, but this year I opened my first shipment since the packing change with fear and trepidation. Somehow I'd stumbled on a lot of negative comments about the packing. But I was absolutely delighted. The plants were bigger than they used to be, no spilling at all. They were more evenly moist than I was used to. I think this new packaging is terrific. And no peanuts to try to sweep up! I'm wondering if they changed anything in response to the negative feedback. Specifically, did they always have a tight plastic band around the top edge to hold everything together? On May 4, 2012, Bluestone Perennials responded with: "On May 4, 2012 2:16 PM, Bluestone Perennials responded with: Thanks for the nice comments, LAS.

All of these plants except the one I noted above (and possibly my leadwort) made it through the winter and are looking very strong this spring. The leadwort is said to be late to start up in the spring, so I still have hopes for those 6 plants, but I have every confidence that if they don't make it, Bluestone will replace with no problems On May 13th, 2011, Jlmyers72 added the following: Receive my order for the spring. I put in a rather large 6 x 32 ' shade garden. Again, I was very happy with most of the order. A couple of plants arrived a little off, but I e-mail the company and received replacements for the 4 plants I noted in less than a week. My only dissapoitment were the 2 shrubs that I ordered. One was a flowering Quince and one Clethera Vanilla Spice. Both of those were not much larger than a stick with leaves. But they appear heatlhy and the leaves on them are very green, but will take MANY years before they are an acceptable size. Exp. for the fact that I paid $15.00 a piece for them I found both of these plants at another company here in Mich. Garden Crossings, LLC and for $35.00 each they shipped to me Huge 2 gallon plants. The Clethra allready has flower buds on it. I will use Garden Crossings in the future for all larger shrubs, but will stick with Bluestone for all the rest. If able, I will post photos of the 2 shrubs side by side here at the site On January 6th, 2012, Jlmyers72 added the following: Am I dissapointed in the huge mark up in price? You betcha, but I went ahead and order a couple of hunder dollars in plants again this January. Thankfully they had a ground cover that I was looking to purchase anyways in the 50% sale. I own over an acre of land, hilly in the back and wanted to start goundcover there so I no longer have to try to mow it. Honestly I have been looking for a new supplier, but I have always been so happy with Bluestone that I can't see me never ordering from them again. Tthis fall I recevied a few replacement plants from them in the Coca pots and they were a very good size and healthy. I will still order from Bluestone, but I just won't over as much as I used to. No reason to give them a negative. Their plants always have been and I feel always will be a good choice. (But I really do wish they would still offer the 3 packs)!!! On May 1st, 2012, Jlmyers72 added the following: Just received my 58 plants that I ordered in January. They are very large and very healthy. The only complaint that I have and it's not a huge complaint, is that I do not like the potting mixture that they now use. It dried out and spilled in the bottom of the boxes. I just swept it up and replaced it in the pots. The core of the plants were still wet so no harm no foul. Use their 50% off sales and they are by far still the best value for plants you can't find locally. Their customer service is one of the best in the business. Just don't order shrubs, they come way to small. On May 1, 2012, Bluestone Perennials responded with: "On May 2, 2012 4:18 PM, Bluestone Perennials responded with: Thanks, Jlmyers72, for the post. We also noticed the soil was drying too quickly and we have changed our potting soil mix for the future. " |

True, the prices are higher, but the product I received was in excellent health and growing condition. Shopping the sales gets the customer back to that sweet price where one can buy three of an item and get larger plants for the same $10-15 price. Of course not everything is on sale, but Bluestone usually has a 15% off early season sale. The packing of my order was a thing of beauty and so good I took a picture of it in the hope of posting it here. Plants are nestled into cardboard cartons of three items each and then placed in shipping cartons in such a way that they are not crowded, cannot tip onto their greens and be crushed or mold from lack of air. They are easy to maintain and carry to their planting spots. I highly recommend them. |

This was a bigger order than the previous year and I do like the new pots and packing method. Of course, UPS left the box on my doorstep, upside down, so there was some soil that came out of the pots, but that was obviously not Bluestone's fault. Just UPS's fault in not heeding the "this side up" message. Thankfully, no harm done. My 2011 Bluestone perennials are growing like mad. I expect the new plants will do just as well. |

I have always been satisfied with the plants I purchased from the company and thought most of the negatives were premature. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than in past years, but they are still comparable to those of most other mail order companies and my local garden centers. Plus, the sheer variety of plants Bluestone offers means I don't have to order from several different places and pay each company's shipping! |

At least give a Neutral if you want to vent so as not to negatively affect the company's rating. I applaud Bluestone for considering the environment. Also like the option of ordering just one plant if I don't need more, but if I do want 3 or more I will get a discount. The prices are very competitive with other mail order companies. Also the shipping rates are excellent. I never enjoyed fishing around in the peanuts anyway, and now won't have to deal with them or pots for that matter, which will make unpacking and planting a breeze. 100% guarantee works for me too. Local garden centers don't ever offer that. Bluestone, you still have a loyal customer. On November 9th, 2011, ladyisle added the following: I just received my bulb order and am very pleased. Very large healthy bulbs from their bulb sale. So sorry to see all these negative comments for a company that has always stood by their plants. Can't wait to try live plants in their new pots. Keep up the good work and don't let the negatives get you down. Change, even positive, is never painless. On April 21st, 2012, ladyisle added the following: I recently received my Spring order. Every plant is healthy and vigorous. The packaging excellent. I ordered many plants from their 'Specials' and am impressed by the quality. Even replacement plants were top notch. Bluestone, you did not disappoint and I am so happy that I supported your environmentally conscious changes. I don't know about all you folks out there who think that a local nursery is a better deal. Have you ever tried to get replacement plants at no charge? My experience: never happens! |

Their customer service is excellent. I had to change my order and had no problem getting the plants I wanted. The new packing is fine. Will continue ordering from Bluestone. On April 20th, 2012, aileen246 added the following: In February when I discovered I had a certificate for free shipping, my catalog came. On it was a certificate for 15% off the next order. I e-mailed Bluestone and was assured I could use both coupons. I ordered three Sedum Autumn Fire to be sent in mid-April. They arrived today by Fedex, delivered to my door. I'm just amazed at the freshness of the plants, with not a leaf out of place. The new packing system is amazing. There was a scant teaspoon of loose soil in the bottom of the package. I'm very happy with this purchase. On Apr 20, 2012, Bluestone Perennials responded with: "On May 11, 2011 12:17 PM, Bluestone Perennials responded with: You are in luck! We are going peanut-less this fall, and I think you will like our plant offerings even more! Watch for our Fall catalog and check our website in about a month for lots of environmentally friendly changes!" |
