I received a nice sized order from this company, all were healthy, the soil was moist and the plants were a great size. I will order my annuals from them again in spring. Very happy with this company so far.

I ordered from MG this spring because they have a nice selection of double impatiens and good rating. I also ordered several other plants from them (abutilon, verbena and petunia), and I am very pleased with this order. All plants arrived very healthy and much bigger than expected. Shipping was on time, and plants arrived with very little damage. There were few broken leaves and stems, but mostly because plants were too big for the box they were sent in, and also impatiens have very fragile stems. The cost of plants and shipping is very reasonable, and plants look better than the poor little things sold in Lowes and HD this spring ( and selection is actually better). My double impatiens are absolutely cute, especially lavender and white ones. I wish I ordered more plants and I'll definitely order again.
I ordered lantana back in April, which did not arrive. When I contacted Mischel's via email, they told me that for some reason the order was sent back. They immediately shipped out new plants, which are as nice as if I bought them from my favorite nursery here in town. I thought the plants and shipping were very reasonably priced. Lantana is hard to come by around here and I will definitely order from Mischel's again.
I was thrilled to open the box just delivered and discover the most colorful healty plants I have seen in a long time. I have been lucky enough this year to have all of my plant orders arrive in good shape, but these were definately the best. The proof is in the pudding when we see how they will stand up to our Arizona summer. Thanks for fine service and product.

Been ordering from Mischel's for about five years and have been quite happy overall. Occasionally, some plants arrived in bad shape - usually because of poor handling en route - and they were replaced or refunded without question. I am happy to see they continue to add to their choices. I use them for my window boxes, hanging baskets and containers every year. The people are very nice to deal with and make the experience very enjoyable.

Great catalog: not huge but terrific for container gardening, baskets, window boxes or garden. Very nice people with whom to do business. Healthy, nice sized plants. Nothing is root bound. Never a problem with them but if you do encounter a problem they have a money back guarantee. Shipped plants out for 5/20 delivery: perfect for my zone 7a. They do a superior job on packing and marking the box THIS SIDE UP. Now if we could get UPS to read those words it would be even better.

May 5, 2006: order received today and plants are in excellent shape. Packaging even better than last year and UPS man delivered right side up. I'd never want a spring to pass without an order from Mischel's. Many of the plants are in bloom! Price cannot be beat!
I ordered quite a few different annuals for a friend and myself for the first time. They are all growing nicely. I was impressed with the size of their plants. They were very large for mail order annuals. One plant was smashed by the shipper and they sent me a very nice letter with a return check for the damaged plant. I'm going to order again next spring for the both of us. I was very pleased with their plants and their service.
Having ordered from Michels several of the last few years, I have to say I have never received more personal service than here. They were very informative! On their recommedation I ordered several plants that they said were suited for coastal Zone 8 and was totally satisfied!!!
Needless to say I have reordered almost every year and been totally satisfied. The plants are healthy, in bud and ready to go! Their varieties better any in this area and I always get comments from friends and neighbors.
Last spring's order of tender perennials grew magnificently all summer long. The shipment included one wrong variety, which Mischel's quickly replaced. I will order from Mischel's again.
I ordered from these guys last year and was very happy with the size and quality of their plants. The plants were packaged with care and the order was on time. Two thumbs up!
So far so good.....prompt ordering from the catalog. I wish they'd sent a confirmation for the order but when I called I got a real live person right away! The order is due any day and will let you know......
