Seems to be the only place carrying the Osmanthus fragrans ‘Fudingzhu’ - of course then one "notices" they also carry aurantiacus which is apparently hardy in my zone (7A)...ahhh, what more could you ask for - esp. with Christmas $$ in hand?!? Wonderful - personal customer service - quick ship - perfect packing and nice large healthy plants with GOOD sized root balls (could easily be potted up to 3 gal). Winning combination in MY book. As others may have noted already - this nursery does require a min. purchase and although shipping may "seem" high...these are not light - remember the root balls are sizable!! Order placed on a Sat. - was rec'd on Wed - this a week before Christmas...Kudos to nursery and UPS!!! They are not set up for online orders - but honestly it was refreshing to chat with the sweet gal that took my order. In this world of internet - how nice to have such personalized service! Not only that but SHE remembered to call me (I'd sent an email stating my interests and that I'd like to talk with her when she'd be in that Sat.) - how great is that!?!?
Most certainly would shop with them again...would love even more to rent a van and visit them in person!!

I drove 60 miles to get shrubs from nurcar, and it was well worth the trip! The plants are truly wonderful. I purchased 8 shrubs, including a very hard to find Orange tea Olive and Salvia greggi - prices are very very good, and the owner has plants that are seen nowhere else - he goes to Japan and chooses new cultivars and varieties and brings them here.

(I am afraid that I may have to now build a pond, as they carry a prostrate Japanese camellia that simply cries to be taken home, each one more lovely than the next! )

I am very new to gardening and they patiently answered about 100 questions that I had, and were so very helpful and cheerful, even though I was a pest.

They answer email inquiries promptly, even though they are very busy in outdoors.

I cannot attest to their mail-order business, but this is my preferred nursery now, even though there are good ones near my house - the quality of the plants and the prices are top-notch.

My only caveat is to not rely on the online catalog- they have many more varieties than are listed, so don't be afraid to ask!

My absolutely favorite nursery!! I can't speak to the mail order part of the business because I live close enough (too close?!) to visit on site. Great selection, good prices. They carry a lot of native plants that are hard to find elsewhere. I've planted whole areas of my yard with plants from them and they've all done wonderfully.

Made the trip from Atlanta to visit this nursery. They have one of the better selections of rare plants in the Southeast. The staff was very helpful and went out of there way to assist me. Prices were very reasonable. We did have difficulty locating a couple plants on their price list, probably because it was late in the season. The nursery is extensive and the offerings immense, so I would recommend you call in advance to confirm availability if you are making a special trip and looking for specific plants. I did this for some plants and they had already been pulled for me when I arrived.

3 Lavender 'grosso' bought six months ago have flourished. Customer service, selection, quality, and prices were all excellent.

Have recently "rediscovered" this nursery. A wide range of plants with the focus on unusual species and native varieties. Found variegated leaf azaleas for the first time. A large selection of hostas and hydrangeas as well as many different types of trees.

Excellent choices for someone looking for different varieties.

I've shopped at this local nursery a few times this spring. They do have a nice selection of plants and I bought many. They have reasonable prices and the plants were in decent condition. The only problem I had was that a couple were mislabled, which I was made aware of after they had been planted and started blooming.

This is an outstanding nursery. I made a one-day roundtrip from Birmingham, AL to N. Augusta, SC just to shop there a few years ago. Their plant selection for the Southeast U.S. is unbeatable.

Last Spring (2004), I purchased three Asian evergreen Magnolias from. They were good-sized plants, arrived quickly, and in excellent condition.

I ordered and have just received two hydrangeas from Nurseries Caroliana. They are in excellent shape! Wrapping and packing job was great, and my order was filled in just over a day after I gave my credit card information.

I am a novice gardener in the Atlanta area and had never used a mail order nursery service before this order. I found Garden Watchdog to be helpful for locating area nurseries and choosing one to order from. I was very happy with this experience and will likely order from Nurseries Caroliana again.

Just found out that this company has moved into the mail order business. If you garden in the south and want access to an amazing array of great plants for the south, this is the place to go first. They apparently are quite conversant with Dr. Mike Dirr and actively seek out horticultural gems that thrive in the South. I am really excited about this place and have just placed a large order. I will provide additional feedback when the plants come in.
On February 15th, 2005, Copperbaron added the following:

Plants came in and are just what I was hoping they would be like. Good company. In addition, I am attending the Masters golf tournament this spring and asked Penny, the person who packed up my plants, if she knew any place where I could stay for the week. She found me a nice house in Aiken, S.C. Now THAT'S service!
