Excellent Plants, Excellent Value
I don’t usually write reviews and I was skeptical of ordering plants via mail but I decided that this purchase deserved a great review. First off, the Carex flacca I ordered was packed and shipped excellently. With all the Covid-19 shipping issues I was even more impressed that my plants arrived in great condition after being missed for delivery by FedEx for 4 days in a row. Plants were not only alive and well but they were very filled out in their pots and I was able to divide a number of the pots to cover more planting area. I cannot emphasize enough how pleased I am with this purchase and will definitely look to order from Blooming Designs again. Forgot to add that pricing and shipping costs were extremely competitive and fair.
