| Positive | CherokeeGreg Fresno, CA (Zone 9a) (7 reviews) November 04, 2009 | Fast shipping. Great seeds. Good prices. Nice person to deal with. And free shipping. And free seeds too. Great all around. |
| Positive | born2bloom New Paris, PA (1 review) November 02, 2009 | I've never been more impressed by a seed company. Besides getting my order in record speed, my mail contained seed envelopes full of information including a picture of a seedling, and all of the germination and growing requirements anyone could possibly hope for. The milkweed envelope even included a description of butterfly cats and cautioned about not killing them along with aphids! She truly has thought of everything to help any new or experienced gardener. Her prices are great, a bonus pack of seeds is included, and shipping if free. Need I say more?? |
| Positive | didi407 Fayetteville, NC (1 review) October 30, 2009 | Great information on website for selecting seeds and plants. Very detailed instructions included. Seeds appear to be high quality. Reasonably priced. Will do business again! |
| Positive | ugrow Boerne, TX (1 review) October 26, 2009 | Very nice lady...I accidently clicked to include insurance & she corrected that right away. Also sent a pkg of free seeds. Seed instructions were very informative. Will definately do business with her again. Here's hoping you will give her an order....you won't be disappointed. |
| Positive | sandnsea2 Kernersville, NC (Zone 7a) (29 reviews) October 26, 2009 | First class seeds all the way! |
| Positive | gogetter Ames, OK (1 review) October 24, 2009 | I have been completely pleased with my seed purchase from Onalee's. The ordering process is a snap. My seed packets arrived within days and have easy-to-understand planting directions printed on them. I look forward to a good experience in my garden. |
| Positive | davelindac5 Republic, WA (1 review) October 16, 2009 | A real pleasure to do business with. Fast shipping! I'm sure I will return for future orders. Since I ordered seeds I will have to return for further feedback after Spring planting. |
| Positive | withad Warren Center, PA (4 reviews) October 15, 2009 | First, but by no means last time buyer. Excellent service and planting instructions. Packaging was outstanding. |
| Positive | phdbot1 Gainesville, GA (9 reviews) October 13, 2009 | I started using Onalee's this summer, and have since ordered seeds. Service is prompt and packing and shipping is exceptional. Onalee has a good selection of Southern plants and can't be beat for great service! |
| Positive | voyagergreg Lakeside Marblehead, OH (1 review) October 11, 2009 | Ordered moonflower seeds & only 1 out of 7 vines produced a couple flowers...The flowers that bloomed had NO FRAGRANCE whatsoever....The other vines that grew produced flower buds but then every single one of them turned black...
Tho the seeds I ordered arrived very quickly I was very disappointed in the obvious bad batch of seeds! On October 11th, 2009, voyagergreg changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following:
Wish to change my status....
As the vendor stated it may have ben other conditions in my area ,as our weather this summer was cooler then normal...Yes the seeds sprouted for me....But one thing I can say for sure is that the few flowers that did bloom were very nice & big BUT they had NO fragrance WHATSOVER...Prior to ordering I did inquire if these moonflowers had the fragrance that I have heard many people on other forums speak about...Also had read there are other varities which bloom but have no scent..
I'm sorry I posted hastily here without consulting the vendor first....The service from Onalees was excellent, emails prior to ordering were answered quickly & my moonflower seeds arrived in a matter of days once ordered..
Company representative comment on October 10, 2009: On Oct 10, 2009 8:47 PM, Onalee's Home-Grown Seeds & Plants responded with:I have never heard a word from this customer telling me that they were unhappy - not one. Obviously, the seeds germinated, so they weren't 'bad seeds'. I have no control over the growing conditions after that and growing conditions are what will determine how a plant performs - temperature, moisture, type of soil, amount of sun, fertilizer, etc. all play a part in how well a plant grows and blooms. I'm sorry that this customer is unhappy, and I would have been happy to go over all this with them and either replace the seeds or refund their money, if they had only contacted me rather than go directly to the negative feedback route. With 581 positive reviews here and over 7,400 positive feedbacks on ebay (and NO NEGATIVES until this one), I think that it would be clear that if you just contact me, I will make sure your concerns are addressed. |
| Positive | fagin1 Hampstead, NC (1 review) October 09, 2009 | First time buyer with Onalee. Ordered the Mexican Petuna
Seeds in Chi Chi Pink. Fast delivery and very well wrapped. Will definitely be back again

| Positive | hmsladyredhead Jayess, MS (Zone 8a) (2 reviews) October 06, 2009 | Wonderful fast service. I have had great luck with seeds, plants and cuttings from Onalee's. Always a pleasure to do business with this company. |
| Positive | pennyjb1 Gurnee, IL (2 reviews) September 28, 2009 | Wow. Amazingly fast and accurate service. Last Friday, I emailed a question. Received a reply later that day. Ordered seed packets that evening. Immediately received email confirmation. On Saturday morning, received email on shipping notification. Package in mail today!
Everything was exactly as ordered. The seed packets were protected with bubble wrap. They include a lot of helpful information, including a seedling picture. At first, I was put off by having a seedling instead of a flower. Then I realized, I could find the flower picture anywhere. But no one else tells me what to look for in the garden. How helpful !! Otherwise, I might "weed" my seedlings.
Thanks Onalee!! Company representative comment on October 10, 2009: On Oct 10, 2009 9:02 PM, Onalee's Home-Grown Seeds & Plants responded with:Thanks for pointing that out! Believe me, finding a photo of a seedling is extremely difficult, even on some of the most common plants. I hate not knowing what the seedlings look like; I never know what might be weeds or what are my plants if it's something I've never grown before! I do try to describe the plant in the description area of the seed packs so you can remember what they are. |
| Positive | jrwbirds Elberfeld, IN (Zone 6a) (11 reviews) September 27, 2009 | Incredibily fast service - well packaged - sure will be back !! |
| Positive | maryleek North Little Rock, AR (Zone 7b) (1 review) September 26, 2009 | Excellent communication and fast service. Helpful and complete seed planting instructions printed right on the seed packet, along with a photo of what the seedling will look like when it germinates! Unbelievable service.
It is obvious Onalee takes great pride in her company and the products she offers. I will certainly purchase from Onalee again. Highly recommended.

| Positive | cannabinatea Mantua, OH (7 reviews) September 24, 2009 | 9/24/09 Seed Order Received From Onalee Seeds
Order was received well packaged with bubble wrapping.
It was shipped quickly and the postage was very reasonable. Order was paid with a postal money order.
I appreciate being able to do it that way! Onalee has some unique seeds that is hard to find at other seed sources. Generous amount of seeds sent for the price
listed! It seems obvious this person loves what she does
for a living, gardening! Maryanne (cannabinatea) |
| Positive | thetangochild Ridgefield, WA (1 review) September 19, 2009 | I have ordered several times from Onalee, and I look forward to the next time I do business with her because, each time, she has exceeded my expectations with her concise communication and excellent service. Superb business practices, Onalee. Keep up the excellent customer care and product quality. I know I'll be ordering again soon. |
| Positive | Binky04 Jacksonville, FL (1 review) August 31, 2009 | I ordered a variety of seeds and plants from Onalee's and would highly recommend her to anyone that would like very good plant's,seeds, instructions and packaging. All i can say is i will definitely be ordering more items soon.

| Positive | JRankin_MadCoAL Madison, AL (1 review) August 20, 2009 | 082009 -- Today I received two Milk & Wine crinum bulbs as ordered, at the time predicted. Order was well-tracked and prepared, with planting instructions provided before bulbs arrived. Packaging was innovative and creative plus highly effective. Moist newspaper packing material kept the roots viable, and I was able to get them in the ground just ahead of an approaching rain front. Trimmed foliage appears to be quite healthy, so I have great expectations of enjoying blooms soon. Great follow-through by Onalee throughtout the ordering and delivery process. Definitely a highly favorable experience.... |
| Positive | lashall48 Holly Springs, NC (1 review) August 20, 2009 | I purchased 2 Crinum Lily bulbs from Onalee's Home Grown Seeds & Plants. They are HUGE !!!! I never expected to get such beautiful plants. Don't worry, Onalee knows how to ship orders so they don't get bruised by the mailman.
I'm very happy with this first purchase and I will be back for more goodies.
Thanks Onalee

| Positive | kozki Pompano Beach, FL (1 review) August 19, 2009 | For a "small business", you are more professional than most of the, "big ones." Received order of seeds quickly, and in the most organized and informational manner. I am highly impressed and will certainly order again. It's my pleasure to be a customer of yours. Thank you!!! |
| Positive | Flcrinumlady Apopka, FL (1 review) August 07, 2009 | My order shipped quickly and was received in perfect condition. Great communication from the seller.The instructions on the seed packs are very detailed. Thank you! |

| Positive | herbs501 Hallettsville, TX (1 review) August 04, 2009 | I ordered a fairly large quantity of Hibiscus sabdariffa seeds from Onalee's. I was quite happy to find them in quantity at a very reasonable price. The order came quickly. I planted the day after I receive the seeds and they popped up in about 2 or 3 days. Excellent germination rate, 100%.
I would definitely purchase from Onalee's again. Great selection and service. |
| Positive | jbtru1977 Safford, AZ (1 review) August 03, 2009 | Awesome fast shipping and the prices are great. I'm a new customer and I'll be returning again and again.

| Positive | chief24 Princeton Junction, NJ (1 review) July 28, 2009 | First experience ordering from Onalee's and it was an excellent transaction. I found Onalee by googling Budda's Palm. The beautiful plant arrived in two days and looked, oh so healthy!!! The planting instructions site is excellent, I'll be back!!!!
Thanks Onalee, if only everyone could run their businesses like you!!!

| Positive | garyg0925 Atlanta, TX (1 review) July 11, 2009 | top notch-great price and super fast shipping. I WILL BE BACK !! |
| Positive | agriman1 O Fallon, MO (1 review) July 03, 2009 | It was certainly a pleasure doing business with Onalee. As a matter of fact, she contacted me - per my request - from last year! Had several questions regarding the Black Runners. She got back with perfect answers right away. The plants arrived quickly, and just as advertised. Outstanding service. **** Cudos to Onalee.......!!! **** |
| Positive | judyrosebud Jacksonville, FL (2 reviews) July 02, 2009 | This was my first experience ordering from Onalee's home grown seeds and plants and it went great. I orderd cuttings for the fragrant Night Blooming Cereus and received healthy large cuttings. I especially like the link for planting instructions for seeds and cuttings, since I am still a newbee this was a great source of information. I am positive I will be ordering again from this company. |
| Positive | tootle Jacksonville, NC (Zone 8b) (6 reviews) July 01, 2009 | Onalee's is the best garden site I've ever used ! I have ordered seeds and received them unbelievably quickly. And information given is excellent. This company deserves many stars for service and products! Thanks so much ! |
| Positive | rcs1 Santa Fe, TX (1 review) July 01, 2009 | I got just what I asked for, quickly after I placed my order. Products were packed well and made the trip safely, and included appropriate instructions on each product including identification and directions on how to grow. THanks! |
| Positive | brett_y Largo, FL (Zone 9a) (1 review) June 27, 2009 | In rating Onalee's, I wish there was a higher rating than positive. I placed my order for passiflora incarnata seeds yesterday (Friday) and received the seeds in the mail today (Saturday). The envelope containing the seeds was wrapped in bubble-wrap and the envelope itself was printed with the germination instructions along with a photo of the seedlings. I have done business with a lot of online companies and Onalee's by far is the best. Thank you Onalee!! |
| Positive | emmachas Ponchatoula, LA (1 review) June 20, 2009 | Seeds arrived timely, beautifully packaged with seedling ID. Bush morning glory seedlings are thriving. Notified when requested nun's orchid was available. That plant arrived promptly, healthy, and in wonderful condition, in spite of our 96 heat.
Only positive experiences in dealing with Onalee's. Like getting pass-a-longs from a nice neighbor instead of a web site! |
| Positive | Adlyn Columbia, SC (4 reviews) June 17, 2009 | Quick delivery, good advice.
Thanks. |
| Positive | AuntBusy Stuart, FL (2 reviews) June 17, 2009 | Excellent! Super fast shipping. Very well packaged. Seeds received in beautiful little packs with picture identification, plant description, detailed and clear growing instructions. Seeds germinated as promised. Email communication with seller prompt, and courteous. By far the BEST online seed shopping experience I have ever had.
Thank you Onalee for the TOP of the LINE SERVICE! |
| Positive | PinetopPlanter Auburn Four Corners, PA (Zone 5a) (12 reviews) June 15, 2009 | I ordered seeds based upon the rating on this website. A small order of just two packets of Japanese Morning Glory seeds. While they weren't inexpensive, shipping is included, which is definitely a consideration. (And, after all, they are the original seeds packets from Japan!) One of the packets received was of a wrong variety. I contacted Onalee, and recieved an apology, the correct packet in two days by mail, and was told to keep the inadvertantly-sent packet.
I was impressed, and would definitely order from her again. |
| Positive | gabelias Albuquerque, NM (1 review) June 11, 2009 | I was contacted by Onalee from a request I made to her last year concerning sunflower cuttings. I was pleased that she had maintained my request and was responding when she had cuttings available. I ordered and she shipped immediately and the cuttings arrived in fine shape. I highly recommend her to new customers.

| Positive | 082014 Webster, FL (2 reviews) June 09, 2009 | I purchased items from Onaleei on e-bay before I knew she was rated so highly here. I have had extremely excellent results from her products. I have ordered from her many times. (My local rabbits have contributed to repeat purchases) I love her detailed instructions, the photo of the seedling, plus she always adds a bonus. You never know what it is, but it is related to your order. She promptly answers any questions. She is just wonderful to deal with. I HIGHLY recommend her. |
| Positive | MaureenOBrien North Babylon, NY (1 review) June 09, 2009 | I am extremely pleased with both my orders. The seeds were quickly shipped and they came with full instructions. At least 95% of the seeds I planted sprouted. I never grew Japanese Morning glories before! I can't wait to see them bloom!
