Quick service; plants arrived in great shape
March 25, 2021

I wanted some smallish plants to put in crevices in a stone wall and ordered six from Hirt's--santolina, thyme, sedum, and a lavender (the last an experiment). The plants were shipped the next day, arrived in a few days via USPS. I was surprised at how carefully the plants were packed--all were in great shape. I can only recommend.

Just received my beautiful Easter cactus. I am extremely happy at the size and potted with lots of buds ready to open. 1st time ordering from here but definitely will not be last. Packed with care, no breakage. WONDERFUL. I am elderly and have no idea how to add a picture.

Ordered 4 plants, shipping cost a lot. I received them and one was in a bad shape, already dead. When contacted them and asked them to replace it. Fast they gave me a refund for 12 dollars including shipping, now if I want to re-purchase the same plant I have to pay 17 dollars including shipping. WHICH PART OF THIS IS FAIR? OR GOOF CUSTOMER SERVICE?

Scam!
January 4, 2021

I ordered a plant for medicinal use, I paid $32+ with shipping, it was advertized as a established plant in a 4" pot, it was a plug straight out of a plug tray stuck in a 2.5pot, it was the wrong plant, I could buy for $2.28 elsewhere. I haven't looked to see if the plant they sent me is poisnous yet, but wouldn't suprize me. All they did was stick a plant that is easy to clone and a vauge look alike and tried to passit off. I also added a pic of ebay's rating for this seller: so you will see how faulse they are, I should have looked for other reviews first, everyone I have found outside of ebay's rating have benn less than positive.

Buyer Beware!
Customer service is horrendous and more than unhelpful, as they just kept asking me to resend photos of damaged/diseased plants and told me they were issuing a refund, but it never came. Then, just repeated the same conversation over and over. No result.
Ordered 26 plants. Shipping cost $99 for one ~12lb box? Hmmm.
No packing slip, so it was a good thing I double-checked the online order invoice, since they "forgot" to include 4 of the plants that I paid for. Most plants were MUCH smaller than depicted in photos.
Many plants had no plant tags. The plants that were tagged came from some other wholesaler Hirts buys from.
Diseased plants: came with fungal problems and pests like fungus gnats.
Pathetic service and crappy plants! Spend your money on a company that cares

Christmas cactus order
October 9, 2020

Was sent 3 maybe rooted cuttings in a 0ne 4 inch pot. Another 4 inch pot contained same thing. 3rd pot only had 2 cuttings. I've rooted christmas cactuses in the past from my huge old one that eventually died. I can tell that these have recently been cut. Spent much more than they are worth.

Best to Leave This One Alone
September 18, 2020

This greehouse operation certainly churns out a mass quantity of some good and some really not so lively products. I am a degreed horticulturist, and the health of some of the plant material they shipped to me in three separate instances is not acceptable. When I approached 'Greenhousematt' about the issue, since he thought I was a small guy he swatted at me and swept me away like a fungus gnat. Single proprietors and small businesses be very wary of this operation. This organization is best suited for Wal-mart and Amazon. If you have issues with the product they ship you, they do not care unless you are a big customer.

Healthy plants
September 3, 2020

I like Hirt's. I get great plants that are healthy and happy. Given that it gets pretty hot in Texas I've had a couple plants come a little weak but they get better immediately after repotting and watering. I had one mix up where I got the wrong plant but they quickly gave my money back even though I was willing to take free shipping on the right plant. So I'm satisfied. They're great. I will shop again.

Best plants
August 28, 2020

I have been buying plants from Hirts for almost a year now. I've been completely happy every time. All the plants came wrapped very well and super fast delivery. I will continue to order from them.

Never received item, bad service
August 26, 2020

I ordered priority shipping and never received the item, I called after 6 days knowing the plants weren't going to be in good shape, I was told to wait until they came. I tried to cancel the order and was told they wouldn't cancel until I received damaged plants, and if they arrived damaged, they could send new ones. So I'm supposed to wait a week for damaged plants, send them back and wait another week for a refund or more plants, that could also be damaged. Terrible customer service.

Very satisfied customer!
August 23, 2020

I have ordered twice this month through Amazon and very well pleased with their plants. Received quickly and plants were very healthy. Glad to find a good supplier any more as so many rip offs these days. Definitely going to order from them again. Highly recommend!

Best business for plants!
August 18, 2020

I absolutely love Hirt's, everything I have bought from there comes quickly, and in pristine condition! I definitely suggest them, in every department they sell. I ordered plants, and their live ladybugs. Both always come happy and healthy! And the ladybugs do their job and fly away once all the bad bugs are gone.

Don't expect them to give a crap
August 17, 2020

I purchased three azalea plants from their website, and the next day I received a response that they actually only had two left, so they would issue me a refund for the 3rd. I received the two plants, which weren't great to be honest, since they were obviously the last of their stock, and waited for my refund. Over the course of 30 days, I reached out several times for an update and got the same response every time, "some banks take up to 30 days to process a refund, contact them." I did reach out to my bank, and they said I should have had it from three to five business days. But I waited the 30 days, and then emailed Hirt's Gardens again and what was their response? "Some banks take over 30 days to process a refund, contact them." Totally ridiculous, I filed a dispute with my bank and I'll let them fight for it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing from this particular supplier if you expect them to stand behind anything, or resolve issues. Especially if the issue was their fault!

Dishonest
August 10, 2020

! st and last time ordered from Hirt's. Sent me the wrong variety and I sent them pictures to prove it (even their website pix of the plant I ordered is different from the one they sent) and they just brushed me off saying that the grower said it was the correct plant (but it definitely is NOT). If they had admitted the mixed up, I wouldn't be happy about it but at least I deem they have integrity. Last time, indeed.

Sad
August 7, 2020

Word of advice... Never order direct from Hirt's! I ordered four different plants. One is almost dead AND a different variety than I ordered. Two are exactly the same, instead of two different forms of the same plant, and the third was a bonsai teaberry planted in moss, with no moss!

Sloppy/rude/missing items
July 27, 2020

I have now ordered 3 times with this company each bringing its own disaster. I thought the first was a fluke the plants were packaged beautifully. Missing items but when I reached out I was reimbursed mistakes happen. 2nd time lots of stuff missing not reimbursed for all of it packaging was not as bad as it could be. Reach out again. Get a partial reimbursement for the plants I didnt even get the plants? Well I'm an idiot and ordered again not only did every single plant looked like it had been thrown in the box. It was the saddest selection I have ever seen even for this company. There is no customer service this company seems to think they are doing you a favor instead of providing a service. More than half the plants I have gotten have also had horrible spider mites and my zebra came with a horrible case of white flies. I quarantine all plants when they come in so I know these specific plants came with pests as well. BEWARE

Wrong items
July 21, 2020

I recieved the wrong color of umbrella plant and the complete wrong plant of another. 3 emails, 1 was an opps sent without a text. I got a response to only that one saying what is this about. I have sent a message on their order web site as well. Horrible customer service. The quality of the plants were great. The packing was great. The shipping was fast but when I spend $130 I expect to be appreciated!
