| Positive | Ron_In_Nebraska Ceresco, NE (1 review) February 7, 2010 | The seeds arrived very quickly and very well packed. The seed packs are great both for the information on them and for the large size of the print that made the seed pack easy the read. The picture of the seedling is much better than the diagram many companies use to identify seedlings. Great experience no doubt we will order again. |
| Positive | shadyNurse Shady Valley, TN (1 review) January 26, 2010 | Everything was exactly as ordered and received order quickly. I will certainly order again. Thank you. Tennessee |
| Positive | cathy4 St. Louis County, MO (Zone 5a) (7 reviews) January 25, 2010 | The seeds came so fast I was surprised! They were well protected with bubble wrap in a sturdy envelope. Each seed packet gave lots of planting information (and in large enough print I will be able to read without my glasses when I'm in the yard, haha!) I'm very pleased with this order. |
| Positive | bkinne Bolingbrook, IL (1 review) January 23, 2010 | I was extremely pleased with Onalee's service! I had never heard of her site before joining Dave's Garden, but tried it out based on the exuberant recommendations from fellow gardening consumers. Now I understand why everyone spoke so highly of Onalee - - her service is the epitome of excellence! I did my order online and had it within a few days, with e-mails sent to keep me appraised of the status of my order. I got exactly what I ordered and can't wait to plant the seeds - - I have a very good feeling that I won't be disappointed in the quality of plant that comes from them. Thanks so much! |
| Positive | Annachief Deer River, MN (Zone 3a) (1 review) January 23, 2010 | What a great shopping experience I had with Onalee's.
The delivery time was very fast and the seed's were clearly marked. I especially liked the ease of surfing her web site.
This was my first order from Onalee's but will not be my last.
She had a great selection of climbers which is what I was after. I encourage everyone to stop and visit her site. |

| Positive | mom2goldens Carmel, IN (Zone 5b) (14 reviews) January 6, 2010 | My first experience ordering from Onalee was great. Website was easily navigated to make ordering easy. Shipping was prompt and seeds arrived safely. Loved how much information was included on the seed envelopes. Will definitely order again. |
| Positive | MrBourbon Whitewater, WI (1 review) January 6, 2010 | Wonderful experience in all respects. The website is easy to negotiate, the information/descriptions are accurate, concise and useful; prices VERY reasonable and seeds were shipped immediately (the day after the order), in perfect (padded) first class packaging. Add to all this friendly and personable email communications and you have PERFECTION |
| Positive | npolach (1 review) December 31, 2009 | I ordered two seed packs less than a week ago and I've already received them. The seeds were packed very well and the information that came with the seeds is very useful. I'd definitely buy from Onalees again. |
| Positive | DebinSC Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) (2 reviews) December 24, 2009 | I ordered a plant, which arrived very fast, carefully packaged. On top of that, a surprise bonus plant was included in the package. Very good quality plants in great condition. Good communication throughout! |
| Positive | mawmawvee Lafayette, LA (1 review) December 22, 2009 | 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. |
| Positive | amslogan New Caney, TX (1 review) December 18, 2009 | WOW! What a delight it is to have found Cucuzzi seeds (an Italian gourd) thur Onalee's. Super fast shipping. This was
a childhood comfort food. Receiving the seeds so quickly
was thrilling to know: come springtime we can continue
the legacy. Thank You Onalee's Home Grown Seeds &
Plants. |
| Positive | herd33 Youngsville, NC (8 reviews) December 4, 2009 | After reading all the positive feedback from others, I decided to give Onalee's a try. Well, I wasn't disappointed! Fast service and good communication means that I will be ordering again from Onalee in the future! |
| Positive | Badgertalk Nashville, TN (Zone 6a) (9 reviews) November 20, 2009 | I ordered a variety of seeds. Quick shipping and nice packaging. Everything was great. I will order from her again. |
| Positive | brewster6 Ocean Springs, MS (1 review) November 13, 2009 | I bought seeds from Onalee twice,I got very good service and more seeds than advertised.You can't go wrong with Onlee. |
| Positive | k2dew4at Laurel Hill, FL (1 review) November 12, 2009 | 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.

| Positive | CherokeeGreg Fresno, CA (Zone 9a) (10 reviews) November 4, 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 2, 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 Winston Salem, 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 (7 reviews) October 15, 2009 | First, but by no means last time buyer. Excellent service and planting instructions. Packaging was outstanding. |
| Positive | phdbot1 Gainesville, GA (10 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 | hmsladyredhead Jayess, MS (Zone 8a) (2 reviews) October 6, 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 (8 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

| 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
