This makes 3 orders I have placed with Katz Kuntry Kuttins. Each of the orders have been for passiflora varieties (in fact I keep buying the same kinds over and over because I end up giving away the plants, or more appropriately my wife does). Each time the plants have been healthy and well packed. Shipping is reasonable (especially when more than one plant is ordered) and packaging is quite good. The flowers that have bloomed for me have been correct (though one has not yet bloomed for me, I have no doubt it will end up being right).
Definitely worthwhile if you are looking for small, very reasonably priced passiflora varieties!
My plants arrived very healthy looking, they were boxed great, and ready to plant. I would definetly buy from katzkuntrykuttins again. Ordered on Friday, received Tuesday. Pretty quick ship.

Katz Kuntry Kuttins was still accessible on Ebay in May 2009 which is where I discovered it in my search for passiflora plants.
My order placed through Ebay using PayPal required an email to Kunry Kuttins to adjust the shipping rate for an order of more than one plant. Kathy responded very promptly with the adjustment expected --- her website indicated a reduced shipping for multiple plants but Ebay/PayPal did not initially transact that appropriately.
My plants arrived promptly, intact, looking good, of the size and quality I expected for the price paid, and arrived in less than one week from date my order was placed.

To all of my past customers ... thanks for a great 7 years. I am not "going out of business", I am only closing my websites. I have a retail nursery that is keeping me busy 6 days a week and I was packaging plants on my off day. It was getting to be too much, so I had to stop the online business. My nursery is in Effie, LA if you ever want to visit.
For you guys who are freaking out because you have not received the plants you bought a week ago (such a long time!), rest assured, you will still get them. I wouldn't do that. You bought it, you will get it.
For you guys who left me negative feedback because it has been 2 weeks since you placed your order and you didn't read the email that I sent you that they had been shipped yesterday..... well, I will be nice :O)
Thanks again guys!
Kathy

Ok, guys, I'm back :O) With our temps down here, business has slowed enough for me to start my website back up. I'm adding plants to my site as I get them. I also have some Cajun Hibiscus, but won't be selling them on my site for a while, but I have them on Ebay. Take a look at them, they are awesome.
Thanks,
Kathy

I ordered 4 passiflora plants on eBay. They arrived well packed in 4" pots, damp bark medium, encased in plastic. All three are alive, but smaller than I expected. One plant was very loose in the medium and wilted. I watered all three and hope they will be fine.

I received a "whiskers" brugsmansia in great condition other than being a little tired from the trip from Louisiana to Tennessee. I was notified by email that it was on its way and received it within a few days. It is a large cutting with a large root ball and was expertly packaged in wet newspaper and tape for protection. It has been in a tall vase of water for a couple of hours and has already sprang to life. I look forward to planting and watching it grow its beautiful angel trumpet blooms. I would do business with this company again if given the opportunity.
My 1 gallon plant arrived within two days of shipping a little stressed but it bounced back within a day. Very pleased with Katz and hope they didn't go out of business as I read above.
My Brug arrived 2 days after it was shipped and was in good shape considering the Florida climate. I am satisfied with the size of the root ball and stems. Thank you for the order.
Sorry to hear you are closed because I would order again.
Received two brugs and five passifloras, packaging was great no damage to the plants. Everything looks healthy. Kathy emailed me to let me know when delivery would take place. Would definitely recommend this nursery and will order from them again.

I purchased a Ruttya from this company and I'm very pleased with both their service and the size of the plant. I can't wait for it to bloom. I would definitely order from them again.

I have ordered plants twice from this seller. The plants were advertised as one-gallon plants and indeed they were that size and then some, only sent bare-root to make shipping costs more affordable. I could not be happier with this merchant's communication and the high quality of plant material received. I will definitely be buying from them again. Many, many thanks!
I purchased the 10 unknown cuttings package off eBay on Nov. 1st, everything went smoothly, the payment, the shipping(very fast), and I am happy with my nicely rooting, healthy cuttings.
I am not happy with the communication(none whatsoever except to ask me to post a review here)...and I am not happy about not receiving my feedback on eBay yet. It makes me feel like I HAD to post a review here in order to get my feedback on eBay.
Other than that, everything is great.
My order arrived in a very timely manner. The plants were in good shape. The box was full of ants, which seemed to come from the root ball of one of the plants. No problem: happy with the vendor and with the order!

I ordered four different types of plants from Katz Kuntry Kuttins. The plants arrived within 72 hours of placing the order. The plants were very healthy and in great condition. The price was excellent and with the combined shipping I feel I got a great deal!

I received my three Brug's and one Jacobinia today. They were shipped within days of placing my order and arrived in great condition. This company obviously takes great care to ensure the plants are well packed and hydrated during shipping. I received well rooted brugmansias that were at least 18" tall. The jacobinia was also well rooted and the leaves looked healthy.
Time will tell whether or not these plants thrive, but as far as I can see, Katz ' ' did what they could to ensure a good beginning.
Received 3 brugmansia plants today. Even in this hot, dry climate the plants arrived in wonderful condition. Much larger than expected with lots of leaves and roots. Excellent packaging. Green Thumbs Up to Katz Kuntry Kuttins.

I am very pleased with the plant I received. It is very large, well packed, and I received an e-mail notifying me when the the plant was shipped. Again, Green Thumbs up to Katz Kuntry Kuttins.

I was thrilled when I found this website! My mother has a green thumb and has a beautiful golden brugmansia and I had heard that there were other colors and found a pink and peach one on this website. I ordered them and they were delivered in just a few days! The plants were in excellent condition and I did as the packing list instructed and put the plants in water and they perked right up! I plan on planting them in the next couple of days. I will definitely shop here again and also have shared this site with my friends!

I ordered two passiflora plants last week. The plants are shipped out on Monday or Tuesday of each week. The plants are shipped priority mail USPS. I received my plants on Wednesday this week. They were in great condition--green, leafy, with moist soil. They were packed with newspaper around them and plastic around the pots. The plants were a much larger size than I would have expected for $4.00 a piece. The shipping at $4.00 each was great. The same plant at my local garden center was selling for $18.99 in poor shape. I would order from this company again--probably earlier in the spring as tropical plants in Zone 5 are houseplants that are set outside in the summer and then brought in for the fall. With this price if they don't make it, I know I could afford to buy another plant the next year!
