The scoop on 'Edelweiss Perennials'

An amazing variety of hard to find plants. My order was well packaged and plants were very healthy. Good communication. I have ordered several times from Edelweis and will order again.

I ordered 3 Anemone Sylvestris Elise Feldman plants from Edelweiss. Edelweiss is awesome. This plant is very hard to come by. The plants arrived in just a few days in EXCELLENT condition. The plants themselves are very healthy. I will definitely order from then again.

I was very pleased with the whole experience. I wish I discovered them sooner.

My first order with Edelweiss- certainly won't be my last. Well -packaged, healthy looking good sized plants at a very reasonable price. They made it across the country completely intact, and arrived sooner than expected. Many uncommon selections as well. Couldn't ask for more.
Thank you Urs!

Ordered 4 plants, three daylilies and an impulse buy of a sweet violet.
EXCELLENT size and good looking plants. Well packed- Oregon to New Jersey with no problems. Recd. an email letting me know plants were being shipped so I could anticipate arrival. Well pleased. Highly recommend. My first time with this company although I order every year from several others. This company belongs in the same league as Bluestone, Oakes and Select Seeds. These four will get repeat orders from me!

Received my first order from Edelweiss: 8 hellebores. Nice plants; well-packaged; one was even blooming! Company even discounted one plant due to small size. Too, I appreciated the email informing me when my plants had shipped. I ordered from Edelweiss because of their selection and because of their rating on this site.

I ordered Gentiana asclepiadea from Edelweiss Perennials this past year after having a hard time finding them elsewhere. I was delighted to receive healthy, well-packaged plants that flourished and flowered in their first year.

I visited Edelweiss Perennials yesterday. What a treat. The owner was very helpful and informative. I came home with way too many alpines for my own good, but who could resist the wonderful, unusual, healthy plants at reasonable prices.

Excellent nursery with a very experienced and well studied owner.

He took me on a tour of the nursery, including his propogation house, and showed me the new alpines he and his wife hope to offer in the near future. I learned a lot, and came home knowing I'll go back again and again.

I have a new favorite mail-order nursery! I just received my first order from Edelweiss today. It is fantastic! I don't know why they're not better known. This is the most pleased I've been with an order in quite a while. Here's why:

- Urs went through a pretty substantial effort to give me a refund when the actual shipping was less than the shipping estimated by the online ordering form (there was an issue with the credit card and he had to call and make multiple attempts). What a refreshing change from being charged a substantial flat fee!

- I got every single item in my large order. I ordered 21 types of plants, 36 plants, and I got all of them. Nothing out of stock, no backorders.

- The plants all look great. I recently ordered a couple of the same species from another nursery -- one that I really like -- and these were easily 2-3 times the size, especially the epimediums. I did have one species that was dormant and I was stressing about till I saw the dormancy noted on the invoice.

- Reasonable prices -- including some plants I have been having a hard time finding at very reasonable prices (e.g. sanguinaria canadiensis "multiplex" for over $10 less than I've seen elsewhere, and pelargonium sidoides, which I've had a hard time finding.)

All in all, a great experience. Nice people, good selection, good plants, quick shipping without overcharging for it (I am on the West Coast, which is nearby, can't vouch for E. Coast people). I hope more people hear about Edelweiss!

I was very pleased with my experience ordering from Edelweiss. Not only were the prices quite fair, they were able to reduce the shipping costs on the final package relative to what the website calculated. They have an interesting selection of plants (lots of things probably more common in Europe than here), and I was pleased with the shape the plants were in on arrival.

Communication with this vendor was very good. Plants were well packaged and very healthy. Some of the plants were rather small but their prices are so reasonable one should not expect large specimens. This a good place to get some rather rare plants at a very reasonable price. I would definitely order again from this vendor.

Just got my order today, what a wonderful thing to come home to after a hard day at work! Meticulous packing, beautiful plants in rather large pots for "rock garden" type plants. How they managed to get a Gentiana acaulis with an open flower to my doorstep in a box without damage ranks as pretty amazing in my book. All the plants were in great shape, even the ones that were in bloom. They even sent a refund check for the difference between the calculated shipping and the actual shipping cost--a nice gesture indeed. Great plants, very fair prices and shipping costs, careful packing--I would highly recommend Edelweiss Perennials!

I called by phone to find out availability and then used the website to order. All the plants came in good order, they emailed when they shipped them. Very pleased with the merchandise which was in larger pots than I normally get. It's the kind of experience you want with a mail order vendor.

I received my first order for Edelweiss Perennials today. The plants are beautiful. It's such a joy to order plants from a company and receive such nice plants. I'll definately be a repeat customer.

In more than 25 years of gardening by mail, I've run into some great companies, but this is the best of the best.

A great selection of plants, low prices, quick and courteous service, superb packing, and large, healthy, beautiful plants.

I can't recommend this place highly enough. It is just wonderful.

Marvelous Alpine plants, and reasonably priced!

I just received my second order from Edelweiss
Perennials and am again very pleased.

The plants are healthy and of a good size -
over a foot tall.. The packing is the best I have
seen. Not one grain of soil was loose.

I highly recommend Edelweiss Perennials.
