A bad business! Won't find a repeat customer here. The negatives reviews on here, Amazon, & Ebay are right. I received a damaged plant (many broken branches, droopy leaves, dry soil). I contacted them, they asked to send pictures, I sent them multiple pictures as proof, didn't hear from them since. There are good and bad mail-order businesses out there, this is a bad one.

I ordered a Monkshood from Hirts through Ebay. Made my payment right away. Plant arrived about a week later. It was in a very small box filled with those white peanuts. When I took the plant out I found that it was damaged. The stock was about 5 inchs long but was bent and broken about 1 inch from the soil. When I called they told me to take a picture of the damaged plant and email it to them. I guess they didn't trust me over a $7.00 plant. I took the picture and emailed it along with the invoice. About 2 days later I got an email back that said, "just cut the stem below the damage, it will grow back".
That was it!
No, "sorry sir about the damage"
No, "we will be glad to replace that plant for you".
No, "we'll be glad to refund your money sir".
All I got was CUT OFF THE DAMAGE.
If this is their idea of customer service, I don't know how they stay in business.
There are too many other places to buy my plants and spend my money then with someone who plainly shows that they really don't care.

I've had mixed results with Hirt's. Over the past six months or so, I've ordered a large number of things from them -- seeds, starter plants, and potted houseplants.

Most of the seeds have been viable. I had some trouble with a few varieties, so reordered and had trouble again (no germination). I called them to ask for culture instructions, and they didn't have any suggestions beyond what I was doing already. They did send me replacement seeds without my asking. Still no luck, so either the seeds are just no good or my germination technique is wrong.

Some of the starter plants I ordered during the winter arrived damaged. They appeared to have frozen slightly during transit. Hirt's replaced them. Once they asked me to email photos before replacing them. In each case, they both refunded my money AND sent replacement plants.

A few of the starter plants I ordered this spring (Feb and Mar) were pretty sickly-looking. Spindly and weak. They did not survive transplanting. I should probably have called and gotten replacements right away, but since I went ahead and put them into the ground, I didn't feel right complaining to the company weeks later when they died. (The hardy hibiscus were the worst problem. Of a flat of 25, only 10 lived. On the other hand, I ordered another flat of 5 later on, and all 5 are doing well. They were much larger and sturdier than the first group. Perhaps the first plants were too young to be shipped?)

The potted houseplants were exactly as advertised, and are all thriving.

I bought a daylily from Hirt's via Amazon. I received the plant within one week. It arrived in excellent shape in a 4 inch square pot, fully filling the pot ; it was also packed very well. I have bought daylilies from several suppliers and this plant was definitely in the better quality class.

I am soooo not impressed with this company. I found them as seed sellers on Ebay, and decided to peruse their website for exotic and tropical seeds. I placed an order of about $100 with them.

It took longer than I expected to receive my order. The seeds were packaged in tiny ziploc bags with VERY little information about the contents. I had to spend hours googling the genus info to know how to propagate and care for anything I planted.

As it turns out, all that time researching was completely wasted. NOT A SINGLE seed I received has sprouted. MANY were not even viable at the onset. Even the ones that did not float (i.e.--the test for viability) have done NOTHING.

I use the chamomile/hydrogen peroxide method of pre-soaking and scarified the hard seeds, and still have had NO LUCK. This method works with about a 90%+ success rate for me, usually. It HAS to be the seed quality. I am so disappointed to have gone through all the money and trouble of researching, waiting, planting, etc. just to have all hopes of pay-off dashed.

Luckily, I have since found Garden Store & More. Although they don't seem to carry the exotic and tropical non-flowering tree seeds I was hoping for, they have MANY, MANY other types of tropical and exotic plant seeds to choose from. Their customer service has also won me over, and 99% of the seeds they've sent me have germinated!

I really wouldn't recommend wasting your time or hard-earned money on Hirt's.

I have ordered from Hirt's greenhouse's website and also eBay for the past 2-3 years. My experience with them has been nothing but positive. I ordered 2 live plants, which ended up dying, but due to mistakes of my own, not theirs. The plants arrived in great condition. Problem was, I had not grown anything like them before and ended up doing them in myself. I have ordered several different types of seeds from them as well. Right now, I have gazania growing and doing wonderfully. I have recently planted some more seeds I had purchased from there and will update on those at a later date.

they are dealing with people who can find other sources

I agree some of the positive "experiences" do sound

I purchased two plants from this company on Ebay last spring and waited and waited and waited for them to bloom or do something. Summer came, not a leaf or anything else. These plants did absolutely NOTHING!!! I am more than a little disappointed.
I am very angry regarding this situation.
Tonight, I ordered seeds from a company named SEEDMART, which I now after 'winning', realize is affiliated with HIRTS. When I realized they were the same company, I quickly tore up the invoice. They can never have another dime of my money. They DISGUST me!
A better way to spend cash is to donate it to charity. Also, I have the sneaky suspicion their positive feedback here is self-produced. BEWARE!

I ordered a goldfish plant from Hirt's through Amazon. It arrived rather quickly but it looked pretty beat up when I opened the box. I followed the instructions that were enclosed and within 24 hours it looked good as new. I lost about 20 small leaves (out of maybe 200-300) and there were a couple of broken stems. I just popped the broken stems in a shot glass and they are already trying to sent out roots. I'm pretty happy and am looking forward to doing business with them again.

I ordered 5 packages of poppy seed from this company in October. Two were sent right away. Two were backordered but came within a few days. One never came at all. When I contacted the company by email to find out when the last one was to come, they told me that their records said they had already shipped it. I kind of doubt that since I have not had trouble with stuff missing in the mail and since the cultivar that never came is out of stock at many other nurseries. i will not order from this company again and should have paid attention to their poor rating here on watchdog.

I received an amayrillis bulb as a gift ordered from Hirt's. I knew what had been ordered for me so when I received something else, I contacted Hirt's. The customer service was awful. I asked why I didn't get what was ordered. Response: "we had an employee that wasn't paying attention to what she was doing." I was then told to return the in-correct bulb and they would "make a note" to send me the correct bulb next year!!! I asked if the gift sender had been notified that the correct bulb was not sent and was essentially told that that wasn't their problem. I finally told them that I would just advise the sender to longer do business with them.

Also, my sister-in-law received an amaryllis bulb from Hirts (same gift sender) and it was rotten.

August 20. 2007---Terrible experience with Hirt's through Amazon. The plants I received were a total disgrace. I had several conversations with Pam (she was always very nice) Allan is the owner and he is the problem. I sent him digital photos of the plants---no comment and this has been dragging on since July. No response no offer of any replacement so I took my only recourse and had my credit card remove the charge from my account.NOTE: IF YOU PAY BY CREDIT CARD YOU CAN HAVE THAT CHARGE REMOVED FROM YOUR BILL. YOU MUST PROVE YOUR CASE BUT THAT IS NO PROBLEM WHEN YOU KEEP YOUR PAPERWORK.

It is very obvious to me why they have such a negative record, it's a shame that Amazon deals with them. I would NEVER deal with them or say a good word about them in the future.

I also like the fact Hirts enclosed pots and Episcias in plastic since they dote on humidity.

I placed an order for 5 African Violets from Hirt's through Amazon. They arrived in a timely manner however they were a real big mess. The 4" pots were set into a Priority Mailing box with nothing covering them. On top of this they had poured styrafoam packing peanuts. One of the five plants was still upright the rest had spilled. Soil was stuck to the leaves of the plants, most of the leaves were damaged.

I contacted there customer service twice and have never heard back. I could of returned them but having purchased through Amazon and using a gift certificate I could only receive credit or replacement. I had little doubt the shipping would improve with replacements so I attempted to salvage the plants.

They appeared to have been beautifully full developed plants when they went into the box for shipping but are now not much more than starter plants and I'm not sure they will make it.

Needless to say I will never order from Hirt's again.

I found this company by doing an ebay search for a particular plant that I was having trouble finding elsewhere. They had a good ebay rating, so I took a chance and am really glad that I did. I have never before received such nice plants in such good shape. They were very large, very healthy, very well packaged (not even a crinkled leaf) and arrived in record time. I couldn't believe my eyes. Because I was so thrilled with this order, I came on specifically to look for Hirt's Greenhouse so I could leave a good rating here too and am totally blown away by the negative experiences. Maybe I was just lucky, but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and will try them again.

Out of my 5-plant order through their Amazon.com storefront, 2 were wrong. I ordered Cyperus alternifolia (Umbrella Plant) @ 2/$5.99 total, and got 2 Darmera peltata (Umbrella Plant) @ $5.99/ea. These weren't the plants I wanted, but the error was in my favor, and the cost to ship them back is more than my original $5.99 I paid. Sooooo, I guess I'll keep them.

Just beware that maybe items aren't what they are supposed to be.

Shipping was really quick; 3 days from when I ordered to when I received them.

I have ordered several items from Hirts through Ebay and thought I'd order a few things from their web site. The plants arrived all in excellant condition. A couple of weeks later I placed two large orders one containing mostly irises and dahlias and the other a few misc items. A couple of weeks later I received the irises. All beautiful and in excellant condition. The packing slip showed that the complete order was included. I emailed them promptly to let them know that the dahlias were not included. No response. Sent a second email a week or so later... no response.
I called customer service. I explained the situation and assurred the lady that it did not say the dahlias were backordered. Without getting enough information to look up my order, she told me she was going to look it up and laid the phone down. I sat there for over 15 minutes listening to people talk in the background before someone hung the phone up. I immediatley called back and got the answering machine. When I began leaving a message, I was again disconnected. I sent several emails stating that I no longer wanted to know the status of my order, but just wanted a refund on the remaining items. Never got a response and never got any of the other items.

Since then, I have accidentally ordered from them again on Ebay. (Seedmart....go figure) and received the order in perfect condition.

Final thoughts: IF you get your order, you will be pleased with the items. It is a gamble.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The absolute worst plant experience ever. They have the worst customer service of anyone I have ever dealt with. I bought some plants from them, the first one spent more than a week in the mail because they sent it by UPS instead of by priority mail like I specified during checkout and it was shipped late in the week and UPS does not transit on weekends. The plant arrived weak but has since rebounded some. My second plant was pretty much incident free, shipped on Monday and arrived on Friday but again, I chose priority and it was shipped by UPS. I bought one more plant and this is where the nightmare is happening. Although I received an absolute beautiful plant, it was the wrong plant. I offered to buy it at about $10 off since he would have to reimburse me for shipping and he wouldn't do it, made me ship it back to him so I did. Then he again sent it UPS and it got stuck on the train so yesterday, it should have been here and it didn't make it. I e-mailed him and he just tells me to file a UPS claim if it is dead. Never once and explanation, doesn't say sorry, doesn't do anything except get off of an e-mail as fast has he can. Never once have I received anything more than a one line reply from my e-mails and not once has he answered an ebay message, I had to find his personal e-mail and deal with him like that. Save yourself a serious headache and think before you buy from this company.

I finally got my replacement plant. To make matters worse, UPS messed up getting it here on Friday and I had to wait to Monday, a full 8 day's transit. Anyhow, the plant was a little wilty but looked good for the most part. I am still leaving a negative feedback because not once did the seller say anything similar to "I'm sorry about the mistake, here's a replacement". I sell on ebay too and the couple of times I sent out a wrong plant, I said "keep it, it was my mistake" and then I sent them the correct one. To add insult to injury, when I contacted him Friday to tell him the box was stuck in northern California, he typed back in a rude looking message, "If the plant is dead, file a claim with UPS" He hasn't once offered more than a one line answer to me. He obviously doesn't have time for me, so my business and the business of all my friends must not be important to him.
