I ordered a couple of dozen Chrysogonums from them and the whole tray came in looking as if it hadn't been through the mail; on wilt, no drying out, no dead foliage.

I would highly recommend them for someone looking for an economical and high-quality source for ground cover.

Great value when ordering in bulk! Am very happy with a large order of juniper groundcover that arrived in a timely manner. Plants arrived in a healthy, well-established condition. Looking for excuses to order from them again.

I just received 24 plants in 3.5" pots that look as fresh as if I had just gone to the local nursery to buy them. They're not scrawny plants, either. They are very full and healthy. I am very pleased, very impressed, and I will buy from them again.

Really nice looking plants, great packing and a timely delivery despite a minor mishap on the order. Apparently my address was fat-fingered when they put it into the UPS system. But when I sent CG a follow-up email with my concern about its delivery, they quickly sent a re-route to UPS and everything was fine. I'll definitely be ordering more from them -- SUPER SERVICE!!

This is my first experience with Classy Groundcovers, and I am very impressed. I ordered variegated liriope in 3 1/2" pots. The plants were larger than I thought they would be, appeared to be very healthy, and were very well-packed. I will definitely order from them again.

First time ordering from Classy Groundcovers. Wasn't sure what to expect, and was a little nervous to spend almost $400 for 4 flats of plants.

SO glad I went with CG! They weren't the cheapest online nursery, but after reading reviews about "sticks" and "rootballs" from other growers, and all the positive "full plant" reviews from CG, it was definitely worth the money. CG was still cheaper than any local nursery or Big Box hardware store around here.

All of my plants (3 varities) were in 3" pots, with well developed roots, healthy leaves & stems, & packaged very securely. There were even 2 extra plants stuck in!

Delivery was quick & I knew exactly when they would arrive by the tracking information provided.

The plants took less than a week to arrive, and have been in the ground for 3 weeks now. They are thriving and I couldn't be happier.

A box arrived today with a complimentary hat & spade. Nice surprise!

I will definitely return to CG for my plant orders. Reasonable prices, very healthy plants, free shipping, & a guarantee. Can't beat that.

Also, if you Google "Classy Groundcovers Coupon Code" you can find the current discount codes to apply to your order. I saved about $70 on my order using a code!

UPDATE: March 2011

The plants we ordered from Classy Groundcovers are all coming back into bloom and are beautiful! Our sedums were completely taken out by a hail storm last summer, but the roots were apparently so healthy that they have almost all come back this spring! And our ice plants are AMAZING this spring. We will definitely order from CG again!

We ordered 1000 vinca minor plants after seeing that this was a watchdog top 30 company on Dave's Garden. We were looking to fill in a part shade area with an alternative to grass. The price was very reasonable. They notified us when they would be shipped and they arrived the next day in excellent condition with adequate moisture. We just planted them last weekend so don't know the long term result, but so far they all look good! Would definitely recommend this company if you are looking for good quality groundcovers.

I am very much impressed. The Web site was well laid out and easy to use, the ordering experience was painless, and the plants are excellent. Well grown, healthy looking plants, packed into a sturdy box with simple but effective newspaper as packaging. This company is quick, too. To top it off, they had multiple options for payment, including payment by mail after placing the order. (unusual, in my experience for an "Internet orders only" company, but very welcome.) If I ever need to fill a large space with groundcovers again, I know where I'll be going...

Best mail order experience of my life. I ordered on Tuesday and received my package on Friday (free shipping). The bare root plants were in moist packing ... absolutely no wilting or yellowed leaves. The plants have healthy thick roots. They are even larger clumps than the pictures on the web-site. I am very impressed and recommend them for your next ground cover order. Great experience all around.

I will certainly be doing business with Classy Groundcovers for future plant orders.

Received two orders from Classy Groundcovers this month and both arrived without a hitch. All plants were healthy and well rooted, the packing was very secure, the media moist, and they arrived very quickly after ordering. I was notified upon shipment and so was able to have the holes dug and everything ready when the plants arrived.
I have no doubt I will be ordering from them again in the future.

Speed, speed, speed! High recommendation.

My trumpet vines and 100 daylilies arrived in three days--Georgia to Connecticut! I planted them all immediately.

All the daylilies looked green and lively. All have taken root in poor soil and partial shade.

The bare root trumpet vines have sprouted and seem to be floruishing in a shaded area at the edge of the woods out back.

I look forward to these plants taking over a difficult hillside and edge of the woods--flowers next year!

I have now received four more orders from Classy. I've bought batches of 24 small pots of periwinkle, euonymus, creeping phlox, and blue green sedum. Every one of the plants is thriving (aside from a few euonymus that the voles ate over the winter) and spreading. Shipping has been quick and careful, with the plants well and appropriately packed, arriving healthy and strong. I'll be back when I need more groundcovers.

CG = A++++ I've been gardening for 35 years, and I have been planting beds of pachysandra for over 4 years. This is the first time I have purchased my plants from Classy Groundcovers. I was amazed at how much bigger and stronger the plants from CG were compared to the buyers from whom I have ordered in the past. These bare root plants were 3-4 times larger than the plants I had purchased from another online grower. I am converted; CG will be my go to source from now on. Great communication; great packaging; great delivery; fabulous plants. I ordered 1,000 gorgeous bare root plants of Green Sheen Pachysandra. Beautiful!

Just received my third order in as many years (and places) from CG. I've now got 200+ Aztec Gold and White Triangle daylilies growing in two different states, all but 25 of them being enjoyed by somebody else. (Hopefully, we aren't moving ever again, so I'll be able to enjoy this recent batch.) I may have lost five daylilies out of all the ones I've bought, but given that I always receive more than I order and my order comes quickly and well-packaged, I'm not complaining. (The White Triangles, I remembered, taste like iceberg lettuce, so that's what I got this time. CG is a great source for edible landscapers.)

Just received my first order from Classy Groundcovers. Delivery was lightning quick and the plants are large and beautiful. The veronica arrived in bloom - a gorgeous sight in late February.

I live in Tampa. Ordered 100 Vinca Major plants last fall. They sent me about 150. I got some in the ground the day they arrived and some had to wait a few days. All, every single one, is alive and growing. I was counting on maybe half surviving. Nice, healthy plants and lots of them. Great value.

In Fall of 2010, I ordered plugs for Dwarf Mondo Grass. I ordered a set of 50 which arrived quickly, well-packaged and still moist, not overly damp. I teased them out a piece at a time, having made the bed ready to receive them with 50 holes done by a dibble. When the 50 holes were filled, I still had pieces leftover so I dibbled more holes, spacing the extra plugs within the designated area. It is now over a month later. The plugs look happy and healthy, adding greenery to a barren soil area in half shade. I don't see even one failure. I am going to give the plugs some winter protection as the company advised for zone 6. I will place a carpet of finely shredded leaves mixed with some conifer needles inbetween all the plugs for the cold months. Based on the performances of the similar Liriope and Black Mondo Grasses, I feel certain this Dwarf Mondo Grass will do well in my garden. Thanks Classy Groundcovers for a healthy, attractive product.

We recently built a house on a bluff and had to have extensive terracing done on both sides of the house. We wanted to use a variety of ground covers but because we live in a small rural town, large quantities were not available. I found Classy Groundcovers through Dave's Garden and decided to give them a try. I was very skeptical of ordering plants online so my first order was only 2 flats (48 plants). I was very impressed with the speed they were received as well as the quality of the plants and how they were packed. Over the past 2 months, I have ordered 26 flats (624 plants) of 4 different varieties and have not lost one single plant. They are all doing extremely well. I highly recommend Classy Groundcovers, will definitely use them again and love the added touch of a "thank you" gift..

In July of 2009 I ordered 900 Pachysandra bare root plants from Classy Groundcovers which arrived in excellent condition in central Illinois. Based upon the excellent service I have ordered another 300 plants in June 2010. I find it easy to use the ordering process, the plant quality is very good, and the quick shipping allows me to precisely plan my planting time. Good company, good products, excellent service.

Excellent personal service! I received my shipment as promised, and the daylilies are now blooming and are beautiful. The best part is that Catherine thought she was sold out, but she took a look in the "back field" and found 50 Nashville Stars (my first choice), offered them at an amazing discount, and exceeded my expectations! I believe her motives are not profit-driven but of of a pure love of gardening.
I have such gratitude, and will continue to feel so every time at look at these lovely lilies.
