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 was looking for a certain type of seed and found Onalee's site on Google. In just a few days, I received the seeds from her and have found her to be both professional and "down home" at the same time and felt very comfortable and important to her. I like that very much. I'm very impressed with Onalee's and would recommend her to others without hesitation.

5 years ago I stopped by Onalee's Nursery and purchased some crinum plants. They bloomed this year and weren't what I thought I had purchased. While cleaning house I ran across an email I had received from her about this purchase, and thought I would just mention it to her, but didn't expect her to "make it good". I just wanted her to know that she might have mixed up her merchandise a tad. The bulbs weren't labeled when I picked them up (they were planted in a container at the time). Onalee contacted me immediately, asked a couple of questions, and INSISTED on replacing the bulbs. I explained that I didn't expect her to replace them, because the bulbs I had did live and did bloom. Onalee values her reputation and her customers good will so much that she sent the correct bulbs, with two added bulbs of another color. They arrived today. I am ecstatic - they are beautiful - fresh enough to have been dug this morning. Onalee is an A+ nursery owner. Only wish there were more business owners out there with her ethics. Thanks, Onalee.

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??

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..

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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)

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....

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

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.

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.

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!!
