I'm hoping that the root systems will be strong enough to adjust to my planting them in the middle of this hot summer.

I will use classy ground covers again. Positive snowdogflyer (1 review) On June 15, 2009, snowdogflyer Bedminster, NJ wrote: Plump, healthy bare root pachysandra arrived from this excellent supplier, at the same time Loriope arrived from much more well known catalog supplier. The Loriope all looked brown, dry and sure enough, even with a thorough soaking, amazingly attendant planting, they barely grew in the 2 months and most of them did not make it. This large supplier graciously replaced them, but not the time it took to get them planted...of course. My pachysandra from Classy are doing amazing! They are outperforming the existing plantings and I am anxious to order more from this excellent grower. We are up in New Jersey and they are in Georgia, but this supplier seems very devoted and I heartilly recommend them to anyone!

The flat was healthy, well watered and larger than any 3 in pot I can find locally. Thank you. Positive 4pitesake (1 review) On June 11, 2009, 4pitesake Alexandria, VA wrote: I definitely don't have a green thumb. I tried ordering ground cover and other plants from three other sources prior to finding Classy Groundcovers - and in all three cases, the plants were dead within a month. But the plants I bought from Classy Groundcovers came with well established roots. The plants were in great shape and were clearly packaged with great care. I'm glad to say that the ground cover I bought in March is still going strong! And the web site has a great search engine. You can enter your zone, soil condition, lighting, and many other specifications and find plants that are precisely what you need. The customer service is awesome. They probably aren't the cheapest source - but it's worth it to pay a little extra and know that the plants are going to survive! I love this company, Positive HBeau (1 review) On June 09, 2009, HBeau Indian Trail, NC wrote: A wonderful experience. The flowers arrived when promised, where in great condition, and they threw a few extra flowers in for free. I have already recommended them to a friend, who plans to use them in the Spring. Positive Lucky253 (2 reviews) On June 08, 2009, Lucky253 Asheville, NC wrote: Sent plants we ordered very promptly and they came in wonderful condition. I would gladly order from them again. Positive georgiadw (1 review) On May 29, 2009, georgiadw Fayetteville, GA wrote: My first time ordering plants. Great experience. I ordered a small batch of liriope Monroe whites. Fantastic packaging, quick fulfillment and great communication. I will order again. I have a large area I plan to cover and I look forward to getting more from this supplier.. Neutral bmoroch (2 reviews) On May 27, 2009, bmoroch Colchester, CT wrote: I ordered 25 3/12 inch pots of liriope variegata. I am sorry to say that most of the plants vere root bound, some so badly, iI had to use a razor blade to cut the roots. Also, a lot of old growth, yellow and brown. From the ratings I expected a better product. I am happy to say, however, that the grasses are doing well, and should be o.k. So I remain neutral about more ordering from this company. Company representative comment on May 27, 2009: On May 27, 2009 10:56 PM, Classy Groundcovers responded with: Hi Barbara, I'm sorry that you were unhappy that the plants you received were root bound. They were from the end of a crop and by that point had foliage equivalent to a gallon. Most people would appreciate getting a plant with foliage and root structure that was substantially more mature than what they paid for. As indicated on our unpacking instructions, any yellow or brown leaves should be removed at unpacking - the plants will quickly bounce back from the trauma of shipping and you will have full size plants much sooner than you would normally.

Their plants are high quality, reasonably priced, and they always arrive in a timely manner. Positive ex_woodchuck (1 review) On May 17, 2009, ex_woodchuck Franklin, NC wrote: I finally found creeping veronica online at classygroundcovers.com. My flat of lush healthy plants arrived within a few days of ordering and they made sure that the shipment arrived before the weekend. This company delivered fine big plants and I will continue to order from them.

Excellent company with great customer service. What more can you ask for?

The plants arrived promptly and in excellent condition -- and the customer service is first-rate. I highly recommend this company. Positive sll6901 (1 review) On April 29, 2009, sll6901 Rochester, IL wrote: I was impressed with this company in every possible way. Immediately upon placing my order I received great communication - order confirmation, date order would be filled, expected delivery date, tracking information - all of which were accurate. I ordered on a Sunday, the plants were packed and shipped on Tuesday, and by Thursday I received them. Emails to the company were promptly answered. The plants themselves exceeded all of my expectations. I have mail ordered plants before, but never in this quantity (350 2" pots and 50 bare root) or from this company. It was always my experience that at least some of the plants were not great. However, every single plant from Classy Groundcovers was perfect. The roots were so advanced and the plants so healthy I couldn't believe it. Even the bare root plants were big - more like a small potted plant but without the dirt or pot. Bare roots I've ordered in the past were often so small I had trouble determing which end was plant and which was root. Not so with these. For the past 5 years I have been gradually planting liriope spicata on a large hill in our yard. After purchasing from many different sources (none of which were mail order) I can honestly say that this batch was the best value and the nicest plants. Wish I had gone this route from the start! This company and it's plants are definitely a class act! I definitely recommend Classy Groundcovers! Positive rhettdog (7 reviews) On April 24, 2009, rhettdog Jefferson, GA wrote: I received my first order --- a flat of Scabiosa plants and they arrived in perfect condition. The 24 were all healthy and shipped carefully. Due to circumstances, I was only able to plant 3 before having to wait an additional 8 days to plant the remainder. BUT the rest grew just as well and were no worse for sitting in the shipping pots!! I finally got them in the ground yesterday. SUPER company!! Thanks again!

I especially liked the care taken in packaging. A+ site. Positive Sage999 (1 review) On April 15, 2009, Sage999 West Grove, PA wrote: My 72 phlox and verbena plants arrived super fast and the plants are in pristine condition! The packaging was excellent, and all the plants are moist..... much better than my local nurseries. Top quality service, fantastic prices and great quality plants; plus a cool gift was an extra nice surprise. Highly recommended. It's so nice to find a company that really knows what good customer service is. You can't beat these prices. Positive WRgardener (1 review) On April 13, 2009, WRgardener Roslindale, MA wrote: The plants arrive perfectly packed and in perfect condition. Very little damage in transit and I was able to transplant them right away. I will certainly order some more product from them as I have a long list of areas I am looking to fill in my garden. Positive Orange4me (1 review) On April 13, 2009, Orange4me Clinton, TN wrote: I will order again from Classy Groundcovers without a moment's hesitation. Their product is awesome but their customer service is out of this world. I truly appreciate finding a company that puts the customer first. Thanks so much for taking such good care of your customers and providing a quality product. Positive lunasa (1 review) On April 12, 2009, lunasa Princeton, NJ wrote: Recently, I ordered Mazus reptans from Classy Groundcovers. I am very pleased with the product and the service. The plants are strong and healthy. They arrived well-packed. The shipping information and guidelines provided by the company's website were clear and accurate. The plants arrived exactly when they were predicted to arrive. I received e-mails confirming my order and shipment. Overall -- a very positive experience. I highly recommend this company.

Every plant was in excellent condition and delivery was fast. They even send me a little gift for the order that was unexpected and nice. I highly recommend Classy Ground Covers based on my experience with them.

My order was received quickly as scheduled and all the plants appear to be in healthy condition. I will order from this company again and recommend to others. Positive lovessummer (1 review) On October 03, 2008, lovessummer Arlington, MA wrote: A couple of days after ordering I realized I had forgotten to use the discount code that was good for Sept. I sent an e-mail to the company, and Customer Service replied--on a weekend!--that they would credit me the discount. The bare-root plants arrived a few days later and were quite healthy with nice root systems. I planted them on the day of arrival using a bulb auger and have high hopes that they'll establish quickly.

Three days later, I received a box full of beautiful, healthy St. John's Wort. This morning, my husband and I planted them all, and now my neighbors are ALL JEALOUS! Could life get any better than this? Positive LostMeadow (11 reviews) On August 14, 2008, LostMeadow (Zone 4b) wrote: This was my first order with Classy Groundcovers. I found them while surfing the web for daylilies, and checked their reviews here before I ordered. I'm very pleased with the 50 bareroot daylilies that arrived today. They were packed well and for the price are larger than I thought they'd be (some have double fans). All look like they just came out of the ground- the packing moss was still damp, the fans nice and green. I'll order from this company again.

Positive birchoil (3 reviews) On June 26, 2008, birchoil Ashburnham, MA wrote: I ordered two ground covers. I live in MA. I ordered on-line and later changed the shipping date. This company was very prompt with their responses to me, amenable to changing the ship date, and accurate as to the date of the arrival of my plants. All plants were/are healthy. Positive DogwoodTrace (1 review) On June 19, 2008, DogwoodTrace Sevierville, TN wrote: The selection is large. Prices are very good. The service is excellent. The plants arrived on time and in excellent health. Probably the best service I have experienced on the internet. Oh yeah, the useful gifts were a totally unexpected bonus. Since my first order, I have ordered second & third time & will be placing a fourth order as soon as I can get the most current plants in the ground.

Plants appear vigorous and are not small. Minor snafu with my order was immediately and courteously corrected by Classy Groundcovers. Highly recommended. Positive delong99 (1 review) On April 18, 2008, delong99 Durham, ME wrote: Last spring I ordered 50 bare root Hostas and 50 bare root Wintercreeper. Shipment arrived quickly and in fantastic shape. Everything took well and I'm looking forward to seeing how things come up this year if my snowbanks ever melt. The hostas were a wonderful variety and fun to watch grow. This spring I took advantage of the February discount and ordered 24 Candy Stripe creeping phlox with a requested ship date of 4/14. My plants arrived 4/17, very well packaged and in beautiful shape. Each pot is filled with a really well established plant that already has beautiful blossoms. I can't wait to get them in the ground. I may even have enough to share! Positive martink (1 review) On April 14, 2008, martink Myrtle Beach, SC wrote: This was my first order with CG and I was very impressed with the quality and maturity of the plants, as well as the care taken in packing them for shipping. They arrived even sooner than I expected, in excellent condition. The plants themselves are the most lush, healthy plants I've ever received from an online vendor. I would definitely recommend this company to others considering this line of plants.
