GBNot So Hot Disappointed with my purchase this year. In the Apricot Allegro collection, the mango tango calibrachoa in full bloom is fuschia/strong pink. The verbena substituted for the gomphrena is advertised as growing 4 - 5' tall, so I'm not excited about putting it in my deck pot. The three black petunias arrived soggy and with some wilted leaves. I cut them back and hope at least one of them survives. Each day there is more dead on two of the plants...oh my...

GBReally rotten customer service Christmas cactus is rootbound, and came in a planters pot instead of the copper pot I ordered. NO instructions whatsoever. The copper pot into which I must transplant it myself has no holes for drainage, so I have to buy another pot locally. Worse yet, when I called them to get planting/growing instructions, I was on hold for over 17 minutes, with no apology offered. When I asked why there weren't instructions with the plant I was curtly advised "we sell thousands of different kinds of plants, so we couldn't possibly put specific instructions in with each order." Ok, well, here's one less customer who will ever have to bother you. Totally dissatisfied, and will never buy from them again.

GBBeware Quality of Perennials Purchased perennials that were terribly root bound -- not just a little, but a solid wall of roots that could not be broken apart by hand. Upon contacting them they suggested I use a razor to try to pry them loose. Not what I would expect from an independent nursery charging premium prices

GBRidiculously slow delivery The time from when an order is placed to when the order is shipped is glacial and completely unacceptable. The shipping info on the website does not clearly explain the long delay before the order is shipped. On top of that, when I called White Flower Farms to find out what happened to my order, their Customer Service people were totally defensive and told me I was wrong to feel that shipment was too slow. I will never order from them again.

GBThe best, as always Received my tree ripened honebells promptly and they were superlative. Sweet and delicious, they are high juice yielders. Haven't ordered grapefruit yet this year, but last year's saw the sweetest, most pleasing grapefruit ever. Barely tart at all, they made organic tree ripened grapefruit from another source seem under-ripe and sour. I've always found WFF exemplary, whether for fruit or plants.
