Extemely happy with this nursery, all plants arrived healthy and packaged wonderfully. Very fast on shipment and will continue to do business with them. Again, extremely satisfied
I drive from Columbus at least two times a year to shop here...I always get wonderful plants and herbs I can't find elsewhere! The owners are knowledgeable about the stock, and very nice.

I am so happy and pleased! Just got my first order from Companion Plants. Perfect, healthy plants, wrapped carefully...not a leaf out of place. And Peter was so kind and helpful with advice and suggestions. I just wish I could go right back on the website this very minute and start ordering more! They have organic medicinal herbs...something I'm recently beginning to study. It's fascinating how these plants are so beneficial to us.
Companion Plants is a great store. I have nothing but good things to say about it. My order took only 2 days to reach me after they shipped it on the following Monday. The plant was very healthy and adjusted perfectly. This is the only site I was able to find live centella asiatica from after ordering fake centella from Neem Tree Farms. I would recommend this site for anyone looking for rare medicinal plants! I will definately be a returning customer.

In the spring I ordered plants and seeds. They are the only place I could find seeds for Unicorn Plant. All the plants came in looking great, are now large, healthy and blooming, even the perennials I ordered. All the seeds germinated and have grown to be beautiful plants. I definitely recommend them.
I orderred a plant for my sister. It got there quickly and she said it was a lovely sage. Thank you for not ripping me off like the last small nursery I orderred from ! :-)

I ordered two Sweet Bay Tree plants, a chocolate mint plant and a Pineapple Sage plant from Companion plants and was quite impressed. The plants were securely packed, bounced back very quickly, had well established root systems and are taking off in their pots as we speak. The company was timely in getting their plants shipped and I will order from them again. I really enjoyed the "Thank you" scribbled on the the invoice. It made me smile.

I was VERY impressed with the selection of hard-to-find plants offered by this vendor...and the prices were reasonable for everything.
The plant size was better than many others I have received via mail this year, and everything looks fantastic.
I will definitely purchase from them again.
I received my hops yesterday. One was in a small pot, the other in a 4" pot. Both plants look healthy and robust. I would order from these folks again. They have a great selection of difficult-to-find herbs and plants, the customer service is above-and-beyond the call of duty and the plants are healthy.
I look forward to my home-grown home-brew this fall!

I am/was a first time customer of Companion Plants. The particular plant that I was looking for is/was the Bed of Nails Plant (Solanum quitonense-Naranjilla). This was the only vendor that I could find that actually sold this plant, and wasn't selling just seeds of this plant.
I ordered on 3/13, and received the order today, 3/19. The plants were packaged with extreme care. There was no loose dirt within the shipping box. The plants look amazingly healthy, and I can not believe the root system on both of these plants...truly amazing!
If anyone on there is looking for some unusual annuals, perennials, herbs, etc, I would highly recommend Companion Plants!
I will be a repeat customer!

I ordered Milk Weed seed for a Butterfly garden. The service was quick, packaging the highest quality. And prices were a lot less compared to several other sites I looked at. I'm very satisfied and will order from these folks again.
I ordered a single plant from Companion Plants last week that I was unable to find in stock locally. Within a day, I received a personal e-mail asking me when I wanted my order delivered. The plant was delivered precisely when it was promised and it was well-packed, moist, and in healthy condition. I will definitely order more items from Companion Plants in the future.

Fast service, great packaging, and large, healthy plants. I received an e-mail from this company the day the plants were shipped and the owner/representative was available for follow-up if needed. A very positive experience.
I ordered several plants from Companion Nursery: 2 lavendula stoechas (spanish lavender) and 7 sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot). Without prompting, they held onto my order for a while figuring it was too cold up here in northern Minnesota to plant anything out. Since spring got going quickly up here, I emailed and asked them to ship out the plants. They did immediately--I received the plants no less than 4 days after my email.
The plants were healthy, of good size and very well packed. The prices were reasonable as was the expense for shipping. The only disappointment I have with this company is not being able to order more from my wish lists through them because they carry only medicinal plants.

It seemed like I had just placed my order and there it was at my front door! The plants are lovely and healthy, were well wrapped with moist newspaper to keep the soil moist. Their selection is outstanding- I finally got the hops plant I've been wanting for years! I will definitely be back for more as my new herb garden grows.

I ordered plants, seeds, and rhizomes from Companion Plants this spring, and I am very pleased - the seeds germinated quickly, the potted plants are healthy and well-rooted, and the rhizomes and roots have all sprouted within days of planting. I'm still waiting for a few backordered herbs, and I hope they are as high quality as the plants I've already received. Companion Plants is, in my opinion, one of the best sources for unusual herbs; I'll definitely be ordering more!

I ordered seven Sanguinaria Canadensis plants from Companion, and the whole process was very fast. Placed my order on Monday and they were here on Friday. The plants look fine and were packed appropriately. For the hard to find plant, I will look to Companion first. Thanks to Peter and his helpers!

Great people, great plants. I would advise calling them, I think they've had problems with their email system. In any case, I did place a order for an number of hard to find plants. I could not believe they had them - even better they all arrved nice and healthy! Thanks!

Good service as always, not to mentions great plants. Ordered to curry leaf trees (Murraya koenigii), arrived in good condition and looked really healthy.

Wonderful selection of hard to find usefull plants and seeds. The ones I ordered got here in Florida amazingly promptly and in very good condition. A couple plants were dormant but the company contacted me before shipping and gave me the option of holding off if that is what I prefered (but since Florida is warmer than Ohio we went with the immediate shipping). Packing and service were excellent. Also very helpful ethnobotanical information on the website catalog. Thanks Companion Plants folks!

I ordered seeds and bare root plants from Companion Plants. The roots did well - all survived with no problem. The seeds, although many were given, had poor germination rates. Many of the ones I ordered needed stratification, which I gave them. I tried them in several ways after the first batch did not germinate well, including planting in pots and leaving out over the winter. I think (hope) they would have replaced the seeds had I contacted them, but I wanted to give the seeds every chance, and that took over the amount of time they cover them. I would buy plants from them again, but would be hesitant about seeds.
On January 23rd, 2006, Gabrielle changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
The day after posting the previous comment about seeds from Companion Plants, I was contacted and offered replacements for all of the seeds that didn’t come up. Four days later the replacements arrived. In my opinion, this goes above and beyond the call of duty, and because of such excellent customer service, I am changing my rating to a positive. Thank you very much, Companion Plants.
Companion Plants has a huge selection of hard-to-find herb and medicinal plants, perennials, and rootstock. They shipped my first order in 2-1/2 inch pots, and everything arrived in great condition with soil moist and leaves green. Knowledgeable telephone assistance was available when I needed additional information. I wish their online catalogue had photos, but they cross reference common and botanical plant names for easy "Googling." I'm already planning future orders from this company.

Ordered my plants this weekend and was asked when I wanted them in a personal email. Since I can keep the more tender ones in the greenhouse, I asked for them now. It's Tuesday and they're here!
I have ordered from several different companies this year and purchased from local nurseries for years. I have NEVER received better looking, healthier plants than the ones I unboxed today. Beautifully packaged and all soil still damp... not a single branch broken or brown leaf. All the lemons are fragrant and lush. The stevia are fresh and green. The cardamom are so healthy they could be divided now! I am thrilled with their service, their packaging and most importantly... their plants. I will return for more!

Plants arrived in beautiful condition and were shipped when I requested (I was asked when I wanted them shipped). I was also a little skeptical of the huge selection but well I got what I ordered so guess I'll have to park my skepticism. Will certainly order from them again.

My own fault, I ordered now for Spring and feel shocky, having received them now. Very (very!) fast delivery and well packed and they look as they should...dormant, which is nice (warm greenhouse plants would not be a welcome sight). I admit to having felt skeptical at their extensive collection of plants, but I did receive what I wanted. Most of these will be tucked into their new homes, one will be placed in the fridge until it gets a little warmer out. Having missed Richter's (great selection, very similar to Companion) because they simply can't get plants to me before the weather gets too hot, I will definately be coming back to Companion Plants for more.

Have ordered from this company three or four times now; Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Mayapple, and, this year, Wild Ginger. Everything has done well, and some of the Jacks I ordered a few years ago are now quite huge.
I just received my first ever order today. It included seeds, bareroot plants and potted plants. Everything looks healthy. I really enjoyed looking through their website to see what I could find. It doesn't have pictures but does have pretty good descriptions. They have a very large selection of herbs and also native plants. I was particularly happy to see that they sell several types of scented geraniums, a favorite of mine. Alas, too late to get them for this year, but there's always next spring!!!! I will definately do business with this company again because the plants arrived quickly and in good shape and they have such a great selection.

I am surprised that there are not more positive ratings for this nursury. Everything that I ordered last year is doing great. I ordered some scented geraniums this summer and they arrived in perfect shape. Once again I highly recommend this company and will continue to do business with them for a long time.On March 20th, 2009, gwendylena added the following:

bought plants from him at the local herb fest. nice plants resonable price, the plants were in good shape. and he was very helpful with growth and propogation methods for the plants i bought
I have visited this nursery many times, and they have the largest selection of herbs that I have ever encountered anywhere. The number of varieties of basil they offer is staggering, and all of the plants are healthy and vigorous.
If I didn't love visiting them so much and lived close enough to do so, I would feel completely comfortable ordering from them.

I have ordered from this company for two years. The plants are ALWAYS perfect, grow well. One absolute positive from this company is the personalized care - I had follow up emails asking if my items arrived and if they were satisfactory. Now, that's unusual for a company!!! Excellent.
