One star is too many: Ordered 3 five-foot Autumn Blaze Maples and 2 six-foot Shademaster Honeylocusts: all arrived having had their tops (their apexes) lopped off to fit in the boxes. I suspected they... See more

I give them a 1 because the plant arrived on time. I paid $140 with s/h and got a diseased plant. 3 gallon hydrangea, yellow and black leaves, leaves falling off, black spots all over the green leav... See more

The 3 azaleas were packed in ONE oblong cardboard box. They stacked them on top of another causing damage and broken branches. To add insult to injury, all three bushes were very poor specimens.... See more

We received the hydrangea tree in about…

We received the hydrangea tree in about 4 days (early October in central NC). It was droopy when it arrived. The root ball was quite small. My husband had amended the soil (as recommended), and had it in the ground within 2 hours of its arrival. The leaves stayed droopy for several days, which was a concern, and then 50% of the leaves turned yellow and dropped off. The remaining leaves are looking better, so we will see how it fares over the winter.

Consistent service, great plants

This is my second order with Brighter Blooms. The plants arrive the fastest of other companies I've used and the plants arrive in great condition. I appreciate the consistent communication from BB from the moment I submit my order.

The trees look GREAT

The trees look GREAT. I am old and was anxious of ordering online. I usually want to look at something before I buy it. But i was very satisfied. The trees were nicer than the ones at local places and delivered. Thank you very much

Disappointed in product and care instructions

I was so excited to gift my partner a gardenia tree for our new home. I’m really disappointed with the lack of care instructions provided.We Googled a lot. We repotted it right away as many of the leaves in the bottom are yellow.
It’s more stable now but still doesn’t seem healthy. We have been giving it the Miracle Gro food with water everyday for gardenias specifically. We hope it survives and thrives!

So far it was an okay experience

So far it was an okay experience. Been about 2 weeks with the tree and it's not doing too great, but we'll see. I called to ask about it and while the answers were given, they weren't very helpful.

Tree Order

We ordered a tree from BB. It arrived in a box, carefully wrapped so there was no damage, in only a few days. We've since planted it and it's looking great!

So very disappointed

So very disappointed. I ordered two plants for a new arbor. One rose was beautiful with a thick center cane. The other was so very much smaller - not worth $100.

The two thuja trees we purchased are…

The two thuja trees we purchased are dying after we followed all directions in planting, and although we also purchased the warranty - we so far have gotten no more than “try this, try that” and when we do the plants are still failing - and no replacement or credit is happening. I was going to purchase a large tree as well from this company - now I see they don’t honor their warranty. Going elsewhere.

Ordered 4 honey suckle vines/plants

Ordered 4 honey suckle vines/plants. Upon receipt, plants looked old, moldy branches, shedding leaves, like been weathered and left over from last year, was just not impressive. I was worried. Watered it, took photos & video footage, reached out to company. Came back with scratch the branches, if green, it will live. Okay. I kept watering, kept closed on eyes on them. 3 came back with new leaves. One nothing. I am hoping that it all makes it thru the winter and all comes back next spring, including the bare one. Otherwise, will never order from this company again. Normally, just suck it up, eat the loss. But if my two cents help one person, it’s worth it.

Half of my order was beautiful. I was disappointed in the condition of the Crepe Myrtles and I spoke to a customer service rep about it. We will see how they look in the spring and provide additional feedback.

The hedges arrived ok, box delivered upside down

The hedges arrived ok although the box was delivered upside down and most of the soil was out of the containers. The hedges were lush green. I have planted them according to directions and have noticed the color changed to a lighter green. I'm hoping they hold up ok and don't die.

Satisfied!

This is the third time I've used BrighterBlooms and I have never had an issue, other than a plum tree I ordered got declined because they found out my state wouldn't let me have it. All my orders have either arrived on time or before planned. I found their prices fair and the convenience of online ordering just puts the cherry on the pie, as it were.
