Comments regarding Romence Gardens & Greenhouses

I’m finding this plant too high maintenance for my garden. For me, it needs to be in a spot where it gets zero supplemental water; otherwise it’s going to rot. I think mine are too far gone but I may try moving them (now mid-summer) to a spot where sprinklers do not reach it.

My plants (five Platycodon, two Delphinium) arrived as scheduled, and pretty well-packed. The delphiniums were a little ragged from their journey, but these things happen. All seven plants are healthy. But all five balloon flowers are absolutely tiny: their root systems didn't fill more than 20% of the quart-sized pots they were packed in. (At my local nursery, for what it's worth, I can buy Platycodon in a 4 1/2" pot, with roots sticking out the bottom, for half the price I paid at Romence. I ordered online because I assumed I'd be getting larger plants.) It strikes me as dishonest to market such small plants as quart-sized.

If the plants all thrive, I'll amend my review to positive. But I don't plan on ordering from Romence again, for now.

I ordered impatiens 4/14. Today after waiting more than a month- 5/19 I was told there was a crop failure, and I would be refunded.

Should have been asked If I would accept a substitution. They must have know well before now they had a problem.

Disappointed.

I ordered 6 -Gaillardia Blanket Flower: Gaillardia Burgundy .There was a 40% for a purchase over $30.
My complaint is these are baby/ seedling plants...about 1/4 the size I usually get from the local big box stores in the spring.Unfortunately I can't find anymore locally...I will have to nurse them to get them to bloom,,,,,
I will say the shipping was cheap.

The selection is great, and I like how on the website they help you minimize shipping costs. I ordered a couple of poppies, a foxglove, and a hosta. First there was an issue with my order, which was their fault and they did fix. Second when the plants arrived one of them looked pretty beat, but I was sent a free replacement right away. Overall when I factor in the cost and look at what I got I think I was better off buying from the local nursery. The plants would've been much larger for the same price. However, I did get the exact varieties that I wanted (not that my local nursery wouldn't have ordered them for me if I was so bent on having them). So... all in all, it's a coin toss for me, so I'm keeping the feedback as neutral.
