The morning after it was published, I received a very nice email offering a replacement or a refund, so I've learned a lesson and it looks as tho I'll have a pair of lovely Arabellas after all.

Great variety, one plant I've been searching for over the past two years. Plants are a healthy, well grown size. No damage in transit. Cindy was most accommodating in that I needed them quickly following my order. An unexpected business trip arose. I was able to plant before an involved two weeks away. Appreciate a vendor who is responsive. We shall be ordering from her again. Her horticultural advice is on point regarding best practice with clematis. Solid experience with this vendor. |

Wanting flowers, I happened on Hummingbird Farms website, and emailed Cindy with lots of questions. She was so helpful and helped me pick the perfect match for me. Not only are the blooms beautiful, but it's super hardy for my zone. Elsa Spath Clematis make my deck look elegant, my little oasis! Thank YOU Cindy & the Hummingbird Farm! |

Received 4 clematis, definitely one of the best packaged, labeled, and priced for quality clematis. Both the size of the roots and the volume of green leafage surpassed my other internet/mail orders. I ordered 4 of the Kivistik assuming the Arctic Circle is colder than Central Illinois, so hope that they do well on the north side of the house. |
Positive | remster (1 review) | On May 22, 2015, remster Liberty Lake, WA wrote: I ordered 2 clematis exactly one year ago, in May 2014. Before ordering I had specific questions about certain varieties - the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The plants arrived promptly, very well packed, with clear planting instructions. Last fall both clematis were happy enough to bloom before sleeping for the winter. Now, one year after planting, both clematis put up lots of new shoots from the roots, are vigorously climbing their trellises, and have plenty of buds. Hummingbird Farms clearly offers great plants with healthy roots! |

I emailed them the end of April to find out when the plants were to ship and was told around May 4th. Then I received an email informing me they had shipped on the 4th with the tracking numbers along with care instructions if I wasn't going to plant right away. Today, May 7th the plants arrived in very good condition, good sized, amazing root systems! I am very pleased. This has been my best on-line plant purchase!!! |

Positive | Msla (2 reviews) | On May 24, 2014, Msla Missoula, MT wrote: After not receiving great clematis from local stores, I took a chance on a mail order company, Hummingbird Farm. I could not be happier. I ordered 6 clematis and as an after thought I ordered 4 herbs. When I had to request a change in order dates, they did and it was no problem. The plants got here when requested and in absolutely great shape. All were bigger and healthier than I could have hoped for. I certainly were not hesitate to order again from this company. |

The plants arrived in great condition even after spending the weekend in the rural Wisconsin post office (through no fault of Hummingbird Farm). The packaging protected the plants well and the soil was still very moist. I will be ordering more clematis from Hummingbird Farm. |

They explain on their web site that they are in Maine which has a slow start to their growing season. They have already sent me one of the clematis and told me the other would come later in May as it becomes ready to ship. They e-mailed me when the plants had been shipped and when they would arrive. They came on time and in good shape. I would order from them again. |

The plants arrived quickly, but they were totally dry. The brown paper inside the plastic bag wasn't even moist. Plus dirt had spilled all inside the box. I knew this was not typical as my previous order had been packed to perfection. The plants themselves looked nice, with good healthy roots, so I felt certain they would recover without a problem. Cindy was very apologetic when I emailed. There had been a little change in packing, but the results were proving to be unsatisfactory. So I am certain the problem has now been rectified. Cindy and Brian care about their plants and their customers. My plants are looking happy so this is still a positive rating. I will continue to use Hummingbird Farm as a source for great clematis plants. |

It seems as if the picture that I provided convinced them that something was amiss, either with their plants or their shipping. These folks seem as if they want to do the right thing and I would consider ordering from them again AFTER speaking with them on the phone and firming up details like age of plants, size of rootball,etc. They have indicated that they're already looking into the shipping materials used, so hopefully that issue will be eliminated. |

Only 3 days in transit. So very well packed, no damage at all, still moist. I immed. potted them up into one gallon pots & the roots barely fit. They perked up within an hour. I'm impressed. Very impressed. We were really hot today (85) so I have them in the shade. Looking forward to getting the next 2 plants and getting them all into the ground & blooming! |

This my first attempt at growing Clematis. Their website has great descriptions of the plants with photos. Plants are organized by groups/ characteristics which was very helpful for a beginner. |

I called Cindy when I found they had sweet annie herb plants and had to then arrange shipment of the plants to my neighbor's PO Box in Maine since I have no postal service and was doing a "hit and run" visit. Cindy made sure they were packaged well and they arrived the day before I flew up so the seedlings were fresh and healthy. I am sooo looking forward to seeing them in the fall when I return to see if I found good places to plant them. Hummingbird Farm definately gives personalized service. |

Her emails were very prompt and helpful, and my plants arrived sooner than expected, well-packed and very healthy. We planted them exactly according to the Hummingbird Farm's instructions and they're doing well. I thought the selection, prices and service were excellent, and I'm looking forward to visiting the farm in person in the next month! I think it's a wonderful resource for people who love clematis and I can't wait to see their exotic geraniums. |
Positive | kvaughn (1 review) | On May 20, 2012, kvaughn Geneva, NY wrote: We had looked everywhere for a Betty Corning clematis, including several places online. Finally, I found Hummingbird Garden complete with a list for the clematis to ship in late May. I ordered and received an immediate response saying they had looked at the plants and found one ready to ship. The plant arrived quickly and in very good condition. A complete planting guide was included and the packaging had prevented any damage during shipping. We planted the clematis and it is already growing with no planting trauma at all. We were very happy with the friendly service and the quality plant. |

As with last year's order, shipping was fast, and the plant was well packaged and very healthy. I followed the same detailed planting instructions as last year. The new plant is settling in nicely and already putting on some new growth. Last year's plants are growing extremely well this spring. The largest of the three (about 3' tall) looks like it's almost ready to show its first blooms. I've been very pleased and would definitely order from them again. |

Our order arrived in three days (Maine to Alaska!) in superb condition. The quality of the plants that we received is superior to any other clematis that I've ordered from other reputable growers.

Cindy continues to be incredibly helpful (and humorous) and reassuring! Yes, I thought one of the beautifully shipped plants (new packaging?) had died. She advised me to be patient..and she was absolutely correct! It "came alive" and is growing wonderously. This is an amazing company with excellent products and service! |
