I ordered this garden two years ago and planted everything. Everything came up and multiplied so fast that i had to start thining plants. I put some in other areas and some Ihad to throw out because I had so many. I live in zone 5 and this is a full sun garden so that may be why I had success. If anything, I did not need all of the plants in this kit as I thin every year from a very large area. I have found sunny spots in other areas of my yard for some of the plants i have thinned

Plants that did grow are strong and healthy

I ordered this pre-planned garden last year and received it in the fall as scheduled. I was disappointed because I received roots more than plants but I planted everything according to the instructions. The flowers that were supposed to grow in the Spring did not come out at all. It could be because we had a particulary rainy season and the plants didn't get enough sun (?) or because I noticed a fox kept running through this garden where the Springs plants are and left deep footprints each time. It's possible that the roots were buried too deep or damaged and could not come out (?) The plants that did come out though are outstanding (the ones that are supposed to come out in the summer), they are very big and healthy. They are starting to bloom. They don't have too many flowers yet and I hope they will bloom more. Overall I'd say I am satisfied with the garden. I called customer service and explained that some of the plants never came out and they offered to send them again to me this fall. That is truly great customer service!

disappointed

I had ordered the non stop perennial garden last year. The order arrived as promised. Some of the plants were missing which were quickly replaced once I informed the customer service. But most of my plants never came back in spring except for the daisies. I wonder if the zononing info is not accurate. I would hate to reinvest the money allover again. I had decided that I would only buy products that I can visually inspect at my local nursey. But the offers are so good here that I could not pass them up. So I am willing to give it one more shot. This time I paid closer attention to the zone recommendations, chose zone 3.will see!
thank you
