Your plants are truly Awesome!! Large, robust, and fairly leaping forth! The salvias are growing almost visibly, began blooming immediately. You have become my favorite gardening resource, actually, with so many interesting topics on your website. You grow the very sorts of plants that interest me most these days, and you do it very well!

I gloriously pleased with the site and the plants. The plants were HEALTHY large, and three of them were blooming and one had set seed. I couldn't be happier. The species were not the normal salvias and I can't wait for them to get large. There was a difference on one salvia between its description on the site and what conditions were on the tag. I called and they said that it was a new plant and they suspect the description is right but the tag expresses some caution about hardiness. I am taking one star off for the confusion, but it is an unknown for all of us. No one is perfect. I still think you guys are amazing and I'll be back..

This spring I ordered from 5 different plant sites. FBTS was by far the best. The plants were larger and better branched. Your packaging was superb! Each plant was still moist around its roots and the dirt was held in each pot so none was shaken loose. Your service is the best! Thanks.

My plants were mailed on a Monday and arrived on Friday. They were all in very good shape. I let them rest for a couple of days before planting in order to acclimate to the outside conditions. They have all done very well and are starting to grow.

My \"Summer Jewell Red\" and \"David Verity\" Salvia arrived on time nice and moist (from CA to GA) and were in the containers on my deck within an hour. Hummingbirds on the Jewell Red Salvia within hours. Vigorous beautiful specimens and prompt arrival assured me that this is the \"only way to go\" in the future. Thanks for the personal service and beautiful plants.

Kermit and Vicky are so pleasant to work with. They sent the package promptly and the plants are absolutely gorgeous! There was a mistake with the order and they were wonderful to work with on the correction. Highly recommended!

This is my third year I have ordered from Flowers by the Sea. I have received nice sized plants in very good condition. Every single one of the plants have flourished. Nice selection too.

When I ordered from Flowers by the Sea I expected to receive the usual seedlings many companies send. To my surprise I received large specimens, some in bloom. I am impressed with both the plants and the plant-saving packaging that helped them survive a week in transit. Truly fine plants and people!

All of the plants arrived in excellent condition and are thriving beautifully in my South Carolina garden
Hutchinson D. Cummin who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 24, 2015

The plants arrived in excellent condition; they are planted and thriving beautifully. The planting instructions that were emailed to me were explicit and a huge help since I have never had sage in my garden before now. Kermit was a great help in selecting plants for my area and zone.

I have been gardening since childhood and I've ordered thousands of plants in that time. Your plants take the cake and the rake! I am sooooo impressed with the size, the health, the packing, and the communication from you! Astounding, gracious, GENEROUS, and unbelievable!!! You guys TOP the list of reputable folks I've dealt with. Anyone looking for salvias or odd plants need look no further than your website. The information on your site is clear, concise, and thorough. Your prices are super! I can't believe the sizes of these plants-a few of the salvias are ready to burst into bloom! I honestly will recommend your nursery and I will be a returning shopper! The BEST, better than expected-and I am thrilled to have found you! Truly deserving of praise and recognition for all of the work and effort you put forth in your knowledge sharing and in the unbelievably healthy, large plants you send. Super impressed, and super ready to place more orders ! Thank you!!!! Regina

I am extremely pleased with all plants that I have received from FBTS. The plants were all well packed, shipped promptly and very healthy, unlike other mail order companies with their very small pots and straggly plants.
JH who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 21, 2015

Terrific plants! Nice size to the plants (much larger than competitors), with great root systems (have spent quite a bit of time in the pots instead of recent transplants), and well-packed. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
Michael Baudino who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 20, 2015

Plants arrived as scheduled. What a relief to see fresh healthy plants in 4\" pots with developed root systems. I will order again. You shoud try them out too.
Tina Cremer who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 19, 2015

Hey...plants arrived in great shape. Will report on their performance in our very wet summer climate as the summer matures! First test: the 12 inches of rain We had over the past week...which will tell me whether I got bed prep right!
William Finch who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 17, 2015

I just got my first order in from Flowers by the Sea. I was absolutely delighted with my flowers. They were in great shape, larger than I expected and transitioned into my garden nicely. I will be a repeat customer! Thank you!
Cynde Cornelius who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 15, 2015

I ordered a variety of salvias this year, and they all arrived excellently packaged, healthy, very well rooted, and ready to go outdoors. This is the second year I've ordered from Flowers by the Sea; the salvias I planted last year are already blooming up a storm and beautiful, so I can't wait to see how everything that is new this year looks after a long growing season. Thank you for offering such a wide variety of salvias as well as all the information on each individual plant. I've also tried some plants I wouldn't otherwise know about after reading your Everything Salvias blog, so I appreciate all the information available there, too!
Megan who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 15, 2015

I have purchased plants from on line nurseries from all over the world for many years and I have to say the Salvia and Agastache I received from Flowers by the Sea are of the highest quality of any nursery I have ever dealt with. Great packing and extremely well rooted plants. I highly recommend them.
Ted Wilson who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 5, 2015

Plants arrived in good condition seeing they didn't get delivered on Friday, April 3rd. as scheduled. Instead they were held over the Easter weekend and were delivered by noon on Monday the 6th. I put then in the sunroom to recover. Too cold here in Wisconsin to think of placing them outside. Cloudy day so they won't be getting any sun today or even the rest of the week. I will also repot into larger pots as they won't be planted outside for at least 6 weeks, but will wait a week for them to recover from their journey before doing it. Hum-mum
Jan Asp who rated us 10 / 5 on Apr 5, 2015

This has been the best packaging of plants I have ever seen. They arrived in good condition and I will plant them today.
Annemarie Bristow who rated us 10 / 5 on Mar 29, 2015

Very satisfying service. Plants arrived as promised, though one was damaged. I notified fbts and received a refund. Plants are doing well, as they were healthy and we followed the complete and understandable instructions for preparation and planting. Many thanks. I have recommended this company to others.
