VERY PLEASED WITH PLANT QUALITY AND SIZE

I was concerned about ordering plants during an over 90 degree heat wave in Ohio but Proven Winners Direct came through!!! They shipped my plants the very next day after ordering with a next day delivery. My plants not only showed up in great condition, but were still moist. I was also VERY pleased with the quality and size of the plants. My plants are already starting to bloom, even with this heat wave. I couldn't be more pleased and will definitely order from Proven Winners Direct going forward.

Luminary Backlit Tall Garden Phlox Perfect Moon Garden Addition

The plant arrived quickly and in beautiful shape - ready to burst into bloom. I planted it immediately and it never even drooped (even though July heat is not the ideal time). We installed a new raised bed around our deck and I could not wait to start a moon garden. The whole plant is very healthy & I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. I got it at on sale so that makes me even happier.

The plants arrived in rough shape, but we’re packed so well the damage was not fatal. The shipper had them in a hot truck, and were upside down. They are now doing well in their space, and have mostly recovered. I love the beautiful blooms, and they brighten the space! I am very happy, and hope to buy a few more later on.
