Positive | Msla (2 reviews) | On May 24, 2014, Msla Missoula, MT wrote: After not receiving great clematis from local stores, I took a chance on a mail order company, Hummingbird Farm. I could not be happier. I ordered 6 clematis and as an after thought I ordered 4 herbs. When I had to request a change in order dates, they did and it was no problem. The plants got here when requested and in absolutely great shape. All were bigger and healthier than I could have hoped for. I certainly were not hesitate to order again from this company. |

The plants arrived in great condition even after spending the weekend in the rural Wisconsin post office (through no fault of Hummingbird Farm). The packaging protected the plants well and the soil was still very moist. I will be ordering more clematis from Hummingbird Farm. |

Positive | Lisalee1 (1 review) | On May 3, 2013, Lisalee1 Lynnwood, WA wrote: I ordered two types of clematis from Hummingbird Farms. They explain on their web site that they are in Maine which has a slow start to their growing season. They have already sent me one of the clematis and told me the other would come later in May as it becomes ready to ship. They e-mailed me when the plants had been shipped and when they would arrive. They came on time and in good shape. I would order from them again. |

The plants arrived quickly, but they were totally dry. The brown paper inside the plastic bag wasn't even moist. Plus dirt had spilled all inside the box. I knew this was not typical as my previous order had been packed to perfection. The plants themselves looked nice, with good healthy roots, so I felt certain they would recover without a problem. Cindy was very apologetic when I emailed. There had been a little change in packing, but the results were proving to be unsatisfactory. So I am certain the problem has now been rectified. Cindy and Brian care about their plants and their customers. My plants are looking happy so this is still a positive rating. I will continue to use Hummingbird Farm as a source for great clematis plants. |

It seems as if the picture that I provided convinced them that something was amiss, either with their plants or their shipping. These folks seem as if they want to do the right thing and I would consider ordering from them again AFTER speaking with them on the phone and firming up details like age of plants, size of rootball,etc. They have indicated that they're already looking into the shipping materials used, so hopefully that issue will be eliminated. |

Only 3 days in transit. So very well packed, no damage at all, still moist. I immed. potted them up into one gallon pots & the roots barely fit. They perked up within an hour. I'm impressed. Very impressed. We were really hot today (85) so I have them in the shade. Looking forward to getting the next 2 plants and getting them all into the ground & blooming! |

This my first attempt at growing Clematis. Their website has great descriptions of the plants with photos. Plants are organized by groups/ characteristics which was very helpful for a beginner. |

I called Cindy when I found they had sweet annie herb plants and had to then arrange shipment of the plants to my neighbor's PO Box in Maine since I have no postal service and was doing a "hit and run" visit. Cindy made sure they were packaged well and they arrived the day before I flew up so the seedlings were fresh and healthy. I am sooo looking forward to seeing them in the fall when I return to see if I found good places to plant them. Hummingbird Farm definately gives personalized service. |

Her emails were very prompt and helpful, and my plants arrived sooner than expected, well-packed and very healthy. We planted them exactly according to the Hummingbird Farm's instructions and they're doing well. I thought the selection, prices and service were excellent, and I'm looking forward to visiting the farm in person in the next month! I think it's a wonderful resource for people who love clematis and I can't wait to see their exotic geraniums. |
Positive | kvaughn (1 review) | On May 20, 2012, kvaughn Geneva, NY wrote: We had looked everywhere for a Betty Corning clematis, including several places online. Finally, I found Hummingbird Garden complete with a list for the clematis to ship in late May. I ordered and received an immediate response saying they had looked at the plants and found one ready to ship. The plant arrived quickly and in very good condition. A complete planting guide was included and the packaging had prevented any damage during shipping. We planted the clematis and it is already growing with no planting trauma at all. We were very happy with the friendly service and the quality plant. |

As with last year's order, shipping was fast, and the plant was well packaged and very healthy. I followed the same detailed planting instructions as last year. The new plant is settling in nicely and already putting on some new growth. Last year's plants are growing extremely well this spring. The largest of the three (about 3' tall) looks like it's almost ready to show its first blooms. I've been very pleased and would definitely order from them again. |

Our order arrived in three days (Maine to Alaska!) in superb condition. The quality of the plants that we received is superior to any other clematis that I've ordered from other reputable growers. For selection, service and quality, Hummingbird Farms can't be beat! Thank you!!! |

Cindy continues to be incredibly helpful (and humorous) and reassuring! Yes, I thought one of the beautifully shipped plants (new packaging?) had died. She advised me to be patient..and she was absolutely correct! It "came alive" and is growing wonderously. This is an amazing company with excellent products and service! |

Medium-sized clematis plants that are blooming this year from last year's order. My only wish is that they would update their website a bit sooner so that I can do all my clematis orders at the same time. |

Big, fantastically healthy plants with huge root systems. Great planting instructions. Cindy and Brian are wonderful to talk with on the phone, too. They even put aside their LAST plant of a much desired variety special - even though they didn't know me. I wish I had more space for more clematis.....wait.....wait....I can find some - and I will definitely be ordering from Hummingbird again and again....! |

They do not come in plastic pots like others I have ordered. This is more environmentally friendly, but you need to be a little more careful when unwrapping them to not damage the roots. |

We recieved wonderfully healthy plants, which were expertly shipped and arrived in beautiful condition. Now, just a few months later, they are both covered in gorgeous flowers! Excellent customer service. We will definitely be ordering from them again next spring! |

Positive | papillion (1 review) | On Jun 8, 2010, papillion Flushing, United States wrote: I ordered two fancy leaf geraniums (Velma Cox and Elanos Pink with Silver Leaf Geranium) from Humming Bird Farm because this was the only place I could find them available. Plants arrived very quickly. However, as soon as I opened the box, I was disappointed because one of the plants was damaged (But Velma Cox was excellent condition). So I emailed this company and explained about damaged one. Amazingly, I got an email right away from Cindy and Brian Tibbetts and they said that they will send a replacement plant at once. As they promised, I got my new VERY healthy and beautiful Elanos Pink silver leaf geranium. I was truly impressed with this company. This spring, I ordered many geraniums from several geranium online stores and Humming Bird Farm was one of them. (Actually, I have never ordered any plants from online store before.) But not many places have such a excellent customer care like humming bird farm. By the way, I had to cut almost all leaves and stems of a Elanos geranium, since it was damaged. And I decided to keep it away anyway. Amazingly, three days later I cut stems and leaves, many new beautiful leaves came out from all nodes. ( I think that the first Elanos geranium that I recieved was also healthy one, but it was just damaged on the way… ) I will order more Velma Cox and contrast geraniums very soon from Humming Bird Farm. I can’t wait to get them. :-) |

Positive | labtea (1 review) | On May 8, 2010, labtea East Peoria, IL wrote: The true measure of a company is not when everything works perfectly, but when you think it may not have gone right and how they respond to it. Even though priority mail usually takes 2-3 days once it's on its way, I still hadn't received my clematis order by Friday ...the fourth shipping day. I called Cindy and she was very responsive, looking up the tracking number and locating the shipment for me. From what she could see, she felt sure it would be delivered on Saturday and it was. She also assured me that the plants would be fine the added days it took to reach my state. I do wish the postal service could get something from Maine to Illinois in less than 5 days when shipped priority mail. The plants looked fabulous and were packed well. I will definitely order from this company again! |
