Everyone I wrote or spoke with at Plants Express was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable on all levels. I am impressed by this company.
Delivery taking too long, listed and purchased plants not available and had to select a substitute. Still waiting for the plants purchased.
All my experiences with plant orders from Plants Express have been positive. Relatively fast and convenient delivery with helpful staff whenever I had questions.
Thank you, Candace! It's wonderful to hear that your plants have been thriving and that our team has been there when you needed them. Wishing you a beautiful, growing garden!
Plants arrived in good condition, well packaged and seemed healthy upon arrival. We got them in the ground with appropriate soil immediately, and a week later they are still looking good. Wonderful additions to the garden.
Thank you, Ryan! It's great to hear they're still looking strong a week in, which is usually a good sign they're settling in well. Wishing you a thriving garden ahead!
They don't tell you thay they don't have the products at one location and must ship them around to consolidate prior to shipping I ordered an a full 1 days went by and I had to leave town, so we had to push the delivery out since they only deliver to my area on Fridays, this info should be front and center on their website, very misleading and very bad communication
I was very satisfied with the ordering process and delivery of my plants. The delivery person was very professional and kind.
Thank you, Toni! We're so glad the ordering process and delivery hit the mark, and it's always great to hear when our delivery partners bring that extra care to the doorstep. Happy growing!
Always love the healthy plants and service that is provided every time I order. I will continue to order through plants express!
Thank you, Stephanie! Knowing you keep coming back means the world to us, and we'll keep working hard to send you healthy, happy plants every time. Wishing you a beautiful, thriving garden!
We've ordered several times now and so far have been lucky to have great specimens!
The driver was very conscientious about where he put the plants before we came home from work!
Thank you, Cheryl! Knowing your plants arrived safely and that our driver took such care with placement really means a lot. Wishing you a thriving garden with every new addition!
All aspects from ordering, asking questions, delivery and plants in great condition were stellar,
Thanks Denise, Miguel and crew...
Thank you, Michael! It sounds like everything came together just right, from your first question to the plants arriving in great shape. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Denise, Miguel, and the rest of the crew. Wishing you a thriving garden!
Feels like you are trying to dupe customers.
The plants shown in pictures, you charging so much for it and giving every indication that it's going to be big and then a small plants arrive. That too after 3 weeks or ordering and no indication of when it'll arrive. Tried calling multiple times and opened a support ticket and then it arrived. Terrible experience overall.
First it told me my delivery was free, but then I was emailed I was out of the delivery zone and had to pay $200. The website should tell you that by your zip code. In addition the tree I wanted could only come in a 5 gallon bucket not a 20 or 25. We wanted the tree to be a little established, so this was a let down too. Then my plants were shipped a month later in two different shipments neither of which I was notified of even though I was told by a representative I would get tracking numbers. The plants sat in the heat for several days and I had no desire of going through any returns and redelivers after my experience. The plants mostly survived.
I was looking for the specific plant, the aloe with the coral tall flowers, and could not find it locally. I was happy I found your nursery online and you had them, i was so satisfied! They came yesterday and they are very nice, cannot wait to get them planted.
Patty, those coral-blooming aloes are such a standout and it can be surprisingly hard to track one down locally, so we're really glad we could get them to you! Once they're settled in, they'll reward you with those gorgeous tall flower spikes year after year. 🌱 Happy growing and we hope they become a favorite corner of your garden!
Great healthy plants. Excellent Delivery experience with tracking information so I could be available to greet the driver. Very professional and efficient delivery system and great healthy plants. I have purchased from Plants Express a number of times and will continue to purchase from them. Especially in contrast with some very unpleasant online purchases from other vendors.
Thank you, Debra! It means so much that you keep coming back, and knowing the tracking made it easy to be there when your plants arrived is exactly the experience we aim for. Wishing you a thriving garden with everything you've brought home! 🌱
Purchase was easy to complete. Delivery was fine and plants look really healthy. The Lemon Tree already has fruit on it! Only suggestion would be to have more communication between the purchase and delivery processes.
Thanks, Philip! So exciting that your lemon tree arrived already fruiting, that's a fantastic sign of a healthy, established tree. We hear you on the communication between order and delivery, and we're always working to improve that experience for our customers. Wishing you a bountiful harvest! 🌱
I made a mistake in my first order by accidentally doubling it. However, I just sent an e-mail and Plants Express corrected my order with no issues. Plants arrived in good condition and are now in the ground.
Janet, so glad the mix-up was an easy fix and that your plants made it safely into the ground! Wishing you a thriving garden ahead.
I just LOVE this rose. It arrived looking very healthy, already in bloom, ready to plant, and today it's my favorite rose in my garden. While waiting for it to ship, I called and actually got to speak to a human, which I really appreciated. My rose arrived a week after I ordered it. Love, love, love!
Jacqueline, an Yves Piaget arriving already in bloom is such a treat, and it only gets more stunning as it matures with those big, peony-like flowers. So glad our team could help ease the wait and that it's already claimed the top spot in your garden! 🌹
As with most online purchases, I was a bit hesitant. When online customer service was a bit timely with responses to my questions on the delivery date, I was a bit concerned.
However, it all went well. Trees came in, nice and healthy. Delivery service was very friendly and helpful.
Would order from here again. Thank you for the trees. 👍🏽
Dave, so glad the trees arrived healthy and the delivery crew took good care of you! We know waiting on answers can be stressful, and we appreciate your patience while we sorted out the details. Wishing you many years of shade and beauty from your new trees. 🌳
I'm very pleased with the product, staff, customer support. I feel like I've actually become part of the plant Express family. I will be ordering from them again. You get the sense that it's a family-owned business because how they stand behind their product.
Thank you, Robert! Welcome to the family, and we're so glad that leap of faith paid off. Wishing you many seasons of happy growing ahead!
We bought some Podocarpus Gracillior trees locally, but couldn't find enough of them. After searching local nurseries in vain, I found Plants Express online. Pricing was excellent, and the shipping fee was modest. Trees were delivered within time window promised. Would recommend to others, as well as purchase again for ourselves.
Jay, so glad we could help you complete your Podocarpus Gracillior planting! They're such an elegant, versatile tree and it's worth tracking down the right quantity to get the look you're after. Wishing you a beautiful, thriving hedge or screen as they fill in. 🌿
This is the best way to shop for plants. The tree looks super healthy and I'm keeping it in the pot to get used to the climate at the beach. I'm excited to plant it and have it forever in our front yard. This was so easy and the way I'm going to buy all of my plants in the future!
Gail, how exciting that your new tree is settling in by the beach before its big move to the front yard! That acclimation step is smart gardening, and it sounds like it's off to a great start. Wishing you decades of beauty from that tree! 🌳


Thank you, Jacqueline! It means a lot to hear that our team came through on every level, from finding the right plants to the conversations along the way. Wishing you a beautiful, thriving garden!
