Was more than satisfied with my well packed and large plants delivered on time. Healthy and in bud and in flower.Pleasure dealing with you.

Always healthy, great looking plants when I unpack them. Really appreciate the huge selection of unusual plants that have become so hard to find. Thanks you FBTS!

Beautiful plants, nice and healthy and growing great. Excellent packing and fast shipping. Also great communication. Will do business with again.

Flowers by the Sea is one of my favorite nurseries; buying plants from them reminds me of kennels that raise puppies in the house as family dogs until they are old enough to sell: these are well loved plants: well grown, well documented, well shipped. Pop them in the ground and stand back. I don't think I've ever had a problem with a plant I've gotten here, even after they've been in my clumsy and inexpert care for months and years. I recommend this nursery to everyone.

This is the kind of plant nursery that is love at first sight. Whether you are opening their meticulously well-packaged boxes full of robust, rare and beautiful plants or whether you are just perusing their website packed full of information, photos and videos, you are certain to find something you'll love about this nursery. In the days of giant, chain-stores and corporate profits prioritized over all else, this nursery shows us how a substainably-minded, hard working, nature-loving plant nursery can excel in quality while still offering rare plants at a very fair price. Not only will you love your plants but you'll feel that warm-fuzzy feeling you get when you do the right thing: These two plant lovers Care. This care is extended to customer service in their willingness to speak with customers(at length!), share stories, track feedback on each plant to ensure better siting/zoning. This company really is what is great about the US: Hard work, strong ethics and a superior product.

I purchased an order of 30 salvias, milkweeds and agastache from FBTS. The plants were packaged well and arrived large and healthy, with the exception of two plants whose branches had snapped during shipping. The plants that were not damaged in shipping were surprisingly large, with the largest being about a foot tall and eight inches wide, and had healthy roots and leaves.

The packaging was great, the plants healthy and delivery was as promised. You've also asked me to review the individual plants but that will have to be later after they've grown in my garden - looking forward to see how they perform.

Flowers by the Sea is a veritable treasure trove of gorgeous, fragrant, resilient plants; in particular their selection of Salvias or \"Sages\" is spectacular in its range and diversity. The 8 new species that now grace my garden arrived from fbts 3 days after placing my orders. They were packed flawlessly, fully rooted and ready to grow with plenty of fresh foliage! I could hardly believe I had received such amazing plants and quality at these prices. I can see these people love what they are doing, and they offer loads of useful information and links, and when I called with a question, customer service was very pleasant and professional. Enjoy their website, and buy their plants...you will not be disappointed.

Loved the fullness of the plants, they looked healthy, but about half were VERY root bound. We had to transplant them very shortly after they arrived. Some are now planted out and we will watch to see their development. We liked the plants, but if/when we purchase additional plants we would prefer them not to be so root bound.

I am 81 years old and have cultivated rhododendrons, camellias, dwarf conifers, etc. for over 50 years. During that time I have come to know many excellent growers and nurserymen. I have never encountered anything comparable to fbts!! That Kermit and Vikki Carter provide an outstanding selection of exceptionally grown plants is only the beginning. They have set a incomparable standard by the glorious website that they have created to make ordering and understanding salvias a pleasure. The information which they provide to the prospective buyer, as well as their clients through the fbts blogs and exceptional videos is virtually priceless for the initiate and welcome for the experienced grower who may be new to Salvias.

Amazing selection of Salvias! Great prices. Beautiful, healthy plants! What a treat to have such a wonderful nursery!

read the reviews before ordering, received my plants in excellent condition ,very happy I found this website.

The Salvia \"Anthony Parker\" that I received were big, healthy, blooming and multi-stemmed! My only suggestion would be for the plants to be a little less root-bound when shipped, as it makes roughing them out for transplanting stressful for me -- and the plant? The Puya alpestris are stunning, and the shipping charges are reasonable, in contrast to many nurseries. Dave Sherron, Houston TX

Incredible beauty and stunning selection!!!! All the specimens we bought of the hundreds of rare and wonderful varieties available at FBTS were healthy and thriving after their inception and rearing in the huge, state-of-the-art greenhouses, in which many hummingbirds overwinter, and gorgeous exterior salvia gardens at Flowers By The Sea! ...We are salvia enthusiasts, and have pretty much exhausted the varieties that most nurseries have to offer, so we did an internet quest looking for new varieties, especially those that bloom in winter, & discovered FBTS. If you are unfamiliar with the salvia species, of which there are over 2000 varieties, including irdinary kitchen sages, then you are in for a great treat--perennials providing riots of color in all shapes and sizes, beloved by hummingbirds, bees, and a host of other beneficial insects. Most of them deer and gopher-resistant, if you live in a rural area. Great for hedges, mixed borders, and beds!!! 10 -star customer service, too!!!

Plants were large and healthy! I'll be ordering from them again.

Impressed with the prompt and friendly service. Plants received in good healthy condition. Am enjoying the growing process and looking forward to the beautiful blooms.

All four Salvias arrived in excellent condition. Set out immediately and noticed great root structure in all as I removed from pot. Set out in fall in Texas. First freeze scheduled for week of 11-12-14. Mulched well. Crossing fingers. NH

FBTS is a valuable gem I discovered and could not be more pleased. My first delivery was not in good shape at all due to being out of town when delivered and they were packaged too long. However, the owner made the effort to satisfy his customer by replacing the plants and sending me a bonus plant. Now in this day and age it is rare to find a company willing to go the extra mile but they sure did and have a customer that will buy from them again!!

Although the plants from FBTS are smaller than you would get if you bought them in gallons, they go into the ground really well! I recently redid an area of the front yard with a combination of gallon plants from the local nursery and smaller plants from FBTS, and while almost all the plants from gallon pots look stressed and partially died back, the plants from FBTS all look happy and healthy. Thanks for selling quality plants!

Everything was packed beautifully and is settling in well in Portland. Very happy with several healthy plants, and they arrived quickly. Thanks!

I love Flowers by the Sea ! I always get quality products and service from you . The Salvias I’ve purchased are thriving and the milkweed is already starting to spread. I hope to have a full milkweed forest next summer to aid the Monarchs on their journey . I am glad I happened upon you .

so glad i found FBTS in an article in the NYT. the quality of the flowers is superb and the service is great. now where to plant all the cupheas and salvia?

Ordered a dozen assorted salvia, all arrived in great shape, plus the website has plenty if guidNce for where to site the plants and how to care for. Great company's, gorgeous plants, great packing job. So excited for these new additions to my garden.

I recently received my first order of salvias from Flowers by the Sea. The plants were immaculately packaged. All the salvias had well developed root systems without being potbound. Despite their long journey they have a recovered quickly. I am very reliant on specialist mail order plant nurseries due to my location and this is one of the best I have ever used! I will definitely rely on them again next year. Thank you FBTS

My plants arrived quickly and in very good condition. With watering they were completely revived within a few days and are thriving in the garden.
