I strive for 100% satisfaction with everything that I sell. NO SALE IS EVER FINAL UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH YOUR PURCHASE! Most of the seeds I sell are personally grown, harvested, germination tested and packed by me. I don't sell thousands of different seeds/plants, only those that I can personally tend to and find easy to grow. I provide planting instructions with all seeds and plants and any tricks or tips that I have learned, I pass on to you. I also try to include with every seed order a color picture of a seedling for identification. There is nothing I hate worse than not knowing if what has sprouted is a weed or my plant! I try to take that guesswork out of it for you. And, don't forget, SHIPPING within the USA IS FREE with just a $5 minimum order! No hidden charges, EVER! Email me at onalee@aol.com with any questions!!

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 (6 reviews) | On July 01, 2009, tootle Jacksonville, NC (Zone 8b) wrote:Onalee's is the best garden site I've ever used !

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 (1 review) | On June 27, 2009, brett_y Largo, FL (Zone 9a) wrote: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 (1 review) | On June 20, 2009, emmachas Ponchatoula, LA wrote: 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 (4 reviews) | On June 17, 2009, Adlyn Columbia, SC wrote: Quick delivery, good advice.
Thanks. | | Positive | AuntBusy (2 reviews) | On June 17, 2009, AuntBusy Stuart, FL wrote: 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 (12 reviews) | On June 15, 2009, PinetopPlanter Auburn Four Corners, PA (Zone 5a) wrote: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 (1 review) | On June 11, 2009, gabelias Albuquerque, NM wrote: 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.

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 (1 review) | On June 09, 2009, MaureenOBrien North Babylon, NY wrote: 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!

Delores | | Positive | Bonheur (3 reviews) | On May 29, 2009, Bonheur Bonifay, FL wrote: Yesterday, I went to get my mail & saw a Priority Mail tube from Onalee. My 1st thought was, "Oh, no! I got someone else's order!" When I opened it, I was so ecstatic! She had sent beautiful plants instead of just the crinum bulbs I'd ordered! And she sent an extra one! They traveled beautifully & looked freshly dug - perfectly packed. And she sent an extra seed pack, & extra seeds in the packs, even the corkscrew vine that was supposed to only have 5 seeds! I wish all seed sellers had a photo of a seedling & detailed instructions like she does. She's definitely got a customer for life here! I understand why she has such a wonderful reputation - it is well-deserved.
| | Positive | Gangajay (2 reviews) | On May 22, 2009, Gangajay Marine Parade, Singapore wrote: The service was great! After I placed my order, I belatedly realised I should have asked for gloriosa lily seeds as my bonus seeds. I emailed Onalee, and she not only gave me the lily seeds, she threw in a pack of extra Japanese morning glory seeds as well! The seeds arrived within a week of being shipped, which is excellent for international shipping, and the shipping fees she charges are well below the norm. I'm delighted and will definitely be purchasing seeds from her again. | | Positive | FrogsPad (1 review) | On May 18, 2009, FrogsPad Leeds, AL wrote: I had been looking for a plant I now know to be Mexican Hydrangea for quite some time, when I found it on Onalee’s Home Grown Seeds and Plants website: http://www.onaleeseeds.com I was very pleased at options that were offered. The plants were shipped very quickly, arrived in great conditions and the “extra cuttings” gave me enough to share with my brother in law, who had also been searching for this plant. I will defiantly do business with Onalee’s again.
I highly recommend them to anyone interested in gardening, the plants come complete with growing instructions; if you need more help email assistance is answered very promptly!
Thanks Onalee!!

I just don't think you could go wrong ordering from Onalee's. I placed an order on May 10, and five days later it is in my hand. Wow! That's super fast in my opinion and all was well packaged and just as ordered. No, I take that back. I ordered 4 Gloriosa lilies, and I received 5! I was pleased to see that the seed packages not only had detailed instructions, but photographs of the sprouting plants. Yep, I'm impressed. Thanks Onalee for such a wonderful experience.

I wanted to grow maypops (native passionflower - Passiflora incarnata) but I couldn't find any seeds when I started looking in January. Well, with the green up occurring in full force last week I decided I couldn't stand it anymore! I wasn't going to go the year without maypops at our new house!
Several nursery sites sold the seeds, but they were all twice the price or shipping cost, and for half as many seeds. So I went with Onalee, which I found through an exhaustive search. I was surprised to have my seeds arrive three days later! They had detailed planting instructions on the front, a necessity for this seed. Not only that, but I ordered the "10 +" seeds and received 14. I was impressed! Everything, the packaging, emails, shipping order, etc, was very professional. I will order from Onalee again! | | Positive | lindacse (1 review) | On April 18, 2009, lindacse Uppsala, Sweden (Zone 6a) wrote:Excellent service. Purchased 2 seed packs, took 8 days from payment or so by regular airmail to Sweden. The very smooth system for calculating international shipping (+10% of purchase price) is nice (even though actual postage may be much lower). Very good with the seedling pictures, every seed pack in existance should have it! Company representative comment on April 23, 2009: On Apr 23, 2009 11:21 AM, Onalee's Home-Grown Seeds & Plants responded with:Thank you for your order and for taking time to leave feedback - I really appreciate it!
Just as a note, International Airmail (first class) to Europe starts at $1.20 for a one ounce package (as of this date), so the 10% international postage charge hardly ever covers it, it just offsets some of the additional expense that comes with shipping overseas.
Thank you again for your order; I hope you enjoy your plants and hope to see you again soon!

I placed my order on March 25 (2009) and the goods arrived on March 31 – in Athens, Greece! I was stunned. What a remarkably fast delivery!
Then there was the courteous service: instant order confirmation, monitoring of shipment process & communication of progress via e-mail – very personal but also very efficient.
And what about the packaging? It was one of the safest I’d ever come across in my mail order experience. Those seeds would have remained intact even if they’d accidentally fallen into water.
Last, but not least, my package included several bonus envelopes with seeds of interesting plants.
In general, it’s been a very rewarding shopping experience. I’ll be visiting Onalee’s again soon.
