“Which plant was it you want me to review?”

Robert U.
7/25/24

It would help if the email for the review listed WHAT I purchased! I'm landscaping a side yard so I'm ordering a lot of plants online and I don't recall that your info with the plant had anything about TN nursery on it, so I don't know what I'm supposed to review. However, everything I've ordered has arrived with no problems, on time and healthy. They are all flourishing so I suppose that's a good review.

“This is a scam company.”

james b.

I am a professional arborist. All of the root stock I purchased was labeled incorrectly. They refused to correct the issue. Their main concern was to keep the money, not good customer service. The better business bureau is filled with complaints about them. Beware...

I planted $150 of perennials in April. It was the first time I ordered bare root plants so I didn't know what to expect other than a flowering garden this summer. It's now early July and nothing. Nothing has greened out, much less flowered. I've dug up some of the roots and that's what I still have: roots. Looking at the web site you'll see something entirely different: A picture of a bare root plant with greenery and the statement "What Our Perennials Look Like Before They are Shipped. The left image below is an example of our perennials before shipment. The perennials are shipped without blooms since they are shipped in their dormant season. Once you receive your perennials, plant them and wait for spring and your blooms to arrive."

Not so. What you will get is roots only in a zip lock bag with a black magic marker note that you can barely read identifying the plant. It gets worse. I went back and forth with customer service numerous times and now I learn, "Some of these will establish but most won't." What? Let me get this straight. They send out bare root perennials to customers knowing (but not telling the customer) that most of the plants not only won't establish during the Spring of their order but they won't establish at all. Furthermore, as for their guarantee, you have to wait a year for replacements. I've already lost a growing season and now I'm supposed to be grateful that I get another chance of losing another season with plants where only "some will establish but most won't"? Is this a joke? At the same time I placed this order I ordered other bare root plants from another nursery. They came with a clearly typed label of the plant, extensive roots and greenery and they've done very well this season. TN Nursery perennials are a total waste of money. Customer service was totally unhelpful. They never returned my phone calls and those on the other end of numerous emails talk in circles.

I have purchased twice Trillium undulatum from TTN. I received not the species purchased and when the plants did bloom three-years after pruchase, they were a combination of sessile trilliums (T cuneatum) and pedicellate trilliums (T grandiflorum, erectum, luteum). They claim that T. Undulatum are blooming size rhizomes but I have found their claims to be untrue.The company is not to be trusted when it comes to purchasing and receiving the correct species. And, of course, if the plants do not bloom in the first twelve months after purchase, they will not replace the plants even though they are responsible for sending the wrong species. T. undulatum are difficult to grow, and for this reason I believe they fraudulently package easy-to-grow species - at least when the plants emerge from the ground in the Spring, the buyer is duped into believing they received the correct viable plants even if they do not bloom. Gotcha! Jerry

From the first contact and order, they kept making errors on orders and over-charging, charging shipping or etc and very difficult to reach in a timely manner to address issues. I kept asking for correction to no avail so I asked would it be easier to simply cancel order and re-order since it seemed impossible for them to make a simple correction on an order, but they couldn't even do that without errors in amounts. A headache, but I thought finally resolved. I even planned to write a positive review despite the headache once trees were received bc it seemed finally corrected...I ordered three trees,...two small and one largest... they delivered one, then the second...separately and singly. I contacted them prior to delivery of the first delivery to inquire when they would be shipping. They only delivered the two separately, I never received the large one and was told me that they have a strict 24 hour policy to contact them for lost trees! I was supposed to know the third wouldn't be delivered when they delivered the first two singly and separately? I had contacted earlier and was told the remaining two would be shipped. So they charged me for three trees and didn't deliver the largest one. The two sent look sickly and soft wooded. DISHONEST COMPANY POLICIES. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. They are incompetent at best and dishonest at worst. They claimed it was delivered then didn't even attempt to correct their failure to deliver on a paid item! Then mentioned I didn't write a positive review! Horrible business, stay clear. Unprofessional. Contacted my credit card company and made claim which was accepted. It's a shame when businesses are like this, when other honest businesses deserve the clientele. I would have gladly and appreciatively accepted a correction but they made no attempt and denied it wasn't delivered which was patently false. Have never dealt with such awful business practices.
