I ordered from Lazy S because they had plants I've wanted for a while and couldn't find elsewhere. Plants arrived healthy and packaged extraordinarily well. These guys are THE BOMB!
Purchasing from this company felt like working with "family". Very friendly personal customer service. Packaging was meticulous, plants arrived very fresh & healthy, and were not root bound. Ordered a new cultivar echinacea, and can hardly wait for blooms. First purchase from S'S, and it definitely will not be my last.
We just received two Salvia guaranitica 'Black & Blue'--our first order from Lazy SS. They are superb specimens packed as well as we've ever received any mail order plants.The friendly, personalized communication with the nursery has been extraordinary and we look forward to ordering from them many times more in the future!
For the second year in a row, fantastic plants straight from Lazy S's. The plants are always bigger than I expect, always in superb condition, and packed with no damage. I'll be a repeat customer again and again.
Recently received two Cornus sericea 'Kelseyi' which I'd ordered in February. I'd never ordered from this company before and learned of them by reading Dave's. Plants arrived at the right planting time. Packaging was excellent, so both were perfect - no broken or shriveled leaves. They're planted now and don't seem to be going through any post-planting shock. Plants are a good size, too; easy to plant because they're not huge but big enough so that you can't overlook them.
All the plants I ordered arrived on time and in beautiful shape. Lazy S'S packing is meticulous and their plants are large and healthy. Their web site is the first place I go when I'm looking for information on a plant.

Ordered 2 mock orange shrubs. When arrived were very healthy and packed amazingly well. Not a leaf out of place. They are thriving now in the backyard.
While visiting the Toledo Botanical Gardens last fall we observed a beautiful display of sea lavendar. My serach for the plant led me to Lazy S's. I purchased the plants plus others and was very satisified with the quality of the plants and the shipment arriving as promised in great condition.

In my search for Buddleia alternifolia, SS Farm came into my life. There was so much interesting plant material that is usually difficult to find, and I had a lot of fun over ordering. All the plants were shipped on the requested date and arrived in perfect condition having been cleverly packaged for safe transport. It was a great discovery.

I made an error in ordering and was quickly able to correct it via e-mail, for which I received a personal assurance that it would be taken care of, and it was. My small order arrived quickly, and the plants were in better than excellent condition, carefully packed, with precise planting directions. When I wrote to acknowledge receipt of the plants, I got a pleasant and personal note of thanks in return. Clearly these people run their business with care and attention.

Ordered three of the new echinaceas that arrived in excellent condition. They were securely packaged and the plants were a nice size and very fresh. I've ordered from three other online retailers and this was the best by far. Only drawback is the shipping cost...too high but acceptable considering the excellent packaging , size and health of the plants. Also they should change their warranty to full replacement.[Most people find this an important plus]
My order for 6 various viburnums arrived in perfect condition. The plants were small enough for me to dig in the red clay without having to dig gigantic holes. I know they'll take time to grow into full specimens but the birds and I shall enjoy watching them grow and waiting for their crops of berries.
The Lazy S Nursery always had reliable plants and service when they had a nursery one could go to. They're continuing their tradition in the mail order business. But I still miss the nursery and their staff.

Just received my first order from Lazy S'S Farm & Nursery.
Couldn't be happier, from ordering on their very user friendly
web-site to my e-mails back and forth to Debby. She even
delayed shipment for me while I was out of town. Everything
went very smoothly. My 3 plants arrived on time and in perfect
condition, not a leaf out of place. I'm sure I will be ordering
again very soon!
Just received my order today. The plants and packaging were superb. This is my first time with this company, but definitely not my last. I think I'll go to there web site now.
I ordered numerous plants with add ons at different times. I received all the plants at the very end of April. The Butterbur, joe pye weed, sambucus, abelia & echinacea were of a decent although rather small size and sturdy. The burgundy lace ferns were rather small, but ferns grow pretty quickly. However the Bignonia capreolata and the Passiflora jeanette were miniscule, and the Passiflora was also extremely scrawny. So much so that after carefully planting it we just a heavy rain, the thing just broke. So now I had to go to the local nursery and get two fully grown clematis to put on the trellis I installed specifically for this Passiflora. The Bignonia, unless its a miracle plant will take 4 years to get to cover its trellis with flowers. Very disappointed in these two items. And since their replacement policy is so limited as to time. I probably won't be purchasing anything from them again. I will only order from a company with a reasonable replacement policy. Not a one week window in which to report a plant failure.
I ordered and received three plants. They were well packaged and arrived in great condition with detailed instructions on what to do with them. I would definitely order from them again!!!
I received three beautiful, healthy specimens a few days earlier than I had expected. Nice surprise! The packaging was very clever and very secure; not one broken branch or any spilled soil. Ordering and package tracking was flawless. I can't wait to get these plants in the ground this weekend. This is a very good online nursery to buy from.

Absolutely the biggest and best nail-order plants I have ever received! All were healthy and could go right into the ground without any fears they would not survive.

Friendly service, excellent packing, and very vigorous, healthy plants. I would never hesitate to order from this company. Also, they have an amazing selection of plants to top it all off.
I recently ordered a Rheum palmatum (chinese rhubarb) from Lazy S'S Farm. It arrived in perfect condition. The leaves were beautiful thanks to the superb packing. The follow up email inquiring about it's health let me know these were true gardeners worrying about their "babies". Great experience! I will order again. Thanks Debby and Pete

Lazy SS rocks! This is my second order in as many years, and each time my plants, shipped across country, arrived in excellent condition. They were healthy, well branched, and beautiful! Thanks Debby. I have ordered online plants from more than a dozen companies, and I rate you #1!

This is the second time I have received mail order from Lazy S'S. Both were positive experiences. The plants were large, healthy and arrived in great shape thanks to incredible packing. The plants looked like I had picked them out myself. I have also found their customer service excellent. Their online catalog is filled with information which is fun to browse, and easy to order from.

I received 3 healthy lush plants that were beautifully packed. This company obviously takes great pride in what they do. I will definitely be ordering from them again.
I order plants often; and by far, this is my favorite company. Not only are the plants lush and healthy, but the packing is done with care to protect the plants during shipment. The personal service from the staff also suggests that these are people who really love plants and WANT them to grow in their new home.
For over 25 years I have been buying most of my perennials via mail order. This is my first time buying from Lazy S'S Farm Nursery in Virginia. The order arrived in perfect condition and I appreciated the detailed instructions that accompanied the shipment. The packaging was the best I've experienced so far. I sensed that staff members at Lazy S'S nursery take pride in what they do. I plan to continue using this nursery as a source for filling my large perennial garden, located in zone 6, one block from the Atlantic Ocean on Boston's north shore.
I have been attempting to grow agastache for several years and have purchased from other companies.I was amazed at the size and health of the plants sent.They were much better than expected for the price.Also the help desk responded very quickly to three emails regarding cultivation requirements.I highly recommend this company and will order from them again.

I placed and order in Feb. of 2009 for 18 shrubs and perennials that arrived exactly as requested in wonderful shape. Packing and size of plants sold to me was superior to many other fine vendors that I have ordered from in the past. I am most pleased. I will be back for sure. I also must admit that I use their very useful web site for reference all the time. I owe them more orders for use of that fine site! Their email communication and friendly service must also be applauded. I am one very happy client. Thanks, Patti
Bought 4 shrubs and one perennial. All plants were very healthy and vigorous and of a good size. Extremely well-packed for shipping and bamboo stakes with each plant were a bonus. Great communication and very nice people to deal with. Prices very reasonable. Will buy from again.
These plants are perfect. They are so cleverly packed that they cannot mess up in shipping. An added bonus are the 2-3 bamboo stakes that come with each plant. They also send explicit instructions on what to do and NOT do with the new plants. This nursery is a class act.
Excellent experience. Plants were held until they were large enough to grow well (much better than sending skimpy plants) and the communication was great. The plants were extremely well packed and were good-sized and healthy. Lazy S's is a company I'll definitely do business with again.
