“I wanted to buy strawberries plants, but they were...”

I wanted to buy strawberries plants, but they were already sold out. If they are replenishing before April shipping date, please notify me. Thanks in advance.

“I was sure that paying $100 for a gardenia plant it...”

Joseph Z.
4/2/24

I was sure that paying $100 for a gardenia plant it would be similar to the gardenia tree that would have buds on it or close to budding. I've had two or three gardenia trees which are out of stock on and they never live. So I thought I would try the Gardenia bush. It'll take all summer for it blooms. So that's why I'm unhappy and not satisfactory to me. I am very disappointed.

Trees arrived on schedule. Granny was wilty and hasn't recovered, all the leaves have now turned brown, but I'm hoping it's only transplant shock. Gala was perky and, except for a bit of frost damage, is still doing well.

Reason I chose this business:

I have an avocado tree that I had purchased previously that has been doing well.

Reason I chose this product:

I wanted more trees

The Willow looked great and seems to be hanging on so far. The ground is soggy and it was much needed. The other smaller plant didn't look as great. It had been ripped somehow in shipping, so some of the blooms fell off. I'm hoping it will perk back up again though. Overall given they were shipped, I thought the plants did pretty well.
Thank you!

Reason I chose this business:

Seemed easier to find the plant I wanted than roaming through a local Lowes.

Reason I chose this product:

Willows are good for soggy land and I have some wet areas.

My shipment of two rose bushes and one sage bush/plant arrived wilted and after 5 days shows no signs of blooming. After I transplanted them into my soil. Both rose bushes were transplanted into outside pots (approx 24 in. Diameter) and the rose blossoms have died along with half of the leaves.
I believe that I purchased the one-year guarentee with my $140 purchase. How do I obtain replacements for my dead plants that cost me roughly $140.00?.

Reason I chose this business:

I heard about you from a friend.

Reason I chose this product:

My friend purchased the same items (rose bushes and sage bushes) from you and she was pleased with her results.

It seems to be a hit and miss experience - I received two great plants, 3 acceptable and 4 with disease, chewed leaves, brown edges, etc. I did not get to photograph them before my yard guy threw them out, so I couldn't reply to the ticket with the pictures requested.
So that was the end of customer service, my ticket was closed.
I will not order again, and will be sure to tell my friends/family to avoid it, too

My yard guy threw away the plants before I could photograph them, so your customer service just closed my ticket after 2 days

Plants I received where smaller than expected for the snowball plant. Also all four plants had their dirtsdumped with roots showing. The snowball had brown crispy leaves and I haven't been able to revive it yet. Its been 3 weeks. I think next time I will just go to a local nursery because I know and can see exactly what I am getting.

I had to leave several emails and then make a call before I was promised a replacement plant for the snowball I got.

Reason I chose this business:

They had a snowball plant when I couldn't find any locally.

Reason I chose this product:

I love the idea of rodeo sage and the health properties it has as an herb. Plus it has purple flowers.

After a very delayed shipping time, I received my dwarf meyer lemon and key lime bushes in perfect condition. Questions to BrighterBlooms were answered very quickly. They're very healthy looking plants and are doing well.

Quick response to my question was emailed to me - thank you.

Reason I chose this business:

BrighterBlooms was one of the only shippers to FL that had the dwarf varieties available.

Reason I chose this product:

I need dwarf because of the small size of my yard.

Arrived in late April. Buds present and new buds appeared within 1st week of planting. Then they all "died out" within 2 weeks. Figured it was replant stress. It's now early July and only 3 buds have appeared since and all have "died out". Watering, root inhibitor, and fertilizer was used with watering and fertilizer on a schedule. Tree was planted in a sunny, well drained area. Will be asking for a refund.

Reason I chose this product:

These trees looked terrible when they arrived. Any packing around the roots had completely fallen away. Leaves looked dry and withered. I will consider myself fortunate if they survive. I would never order anything from Brighter Blooms again.

Reason I chose this business:

They have the products that I was looking for. The reviews for stellar but they were terrible either.

I ordered an olive tree for my new landscaping project. When I planted the tree, all the leaves started falling off. Brighter Blooms assured me that this was a normal part of the trees stress and everything would be OK. They extended the protection period from 30 days until May to make sure the tress indeed survived and made OK through the start of the growing season. The were very helpful in explaining what was happening and gave me the help quickly to make sure I was happy. A++ customer service.

The costs were slightly higher, but wanted the tree delivered quickly to minimize stress to the tree. They had the size and variety I wanted, and love the look in my landscaping

Reason I chose this product:

I did a lot of research for Olive trees... and wanted a tree that did not get too large but had a lot of character. Also looking for a olive tree that bared fruit, wasn't too messy and could live in dryer/hotter conditions near the beach.

Tree arrived in July, yes hottest time of year, had straight trunk, semi healthy leaves a little on the light green side, Planted outside, soon most leaves dried out, but tip bud is trying to leaf out. Pot smaller than l was led to believe, but tree was well rooted. It was a 1/4 size pot. L hope it produces enough grow before winter to survive the cold. L keep it well watered to help it get set. L remember this tree all over TN when l lived there, so we'll see how it does here in CO.

Yes , rep told me it was ok to place out in direct sun ,and wind . But later it did take a beating from the elements , but bud at top leafing out so we will see. Hopeful .

Reason I chose this business:

Available species, comes rooted in pot, prices not radically high. Shipping not way too high either.

Reason I chose this product:

L wanted a Tulip tree

I ordered flowers for my mom the day before Mother's day. As it was last minute, I had few options but found a local company and ordered a gorgeous bouquet. She got a call to make sure she'd be home and the delivery of exquisite flowers. Very happy with the purchase despite my ordering the last minute from another country.

My red dogwood tree arrived as expected about three weeks ago. It had been pruned prior to shipping. I let it sit in the shade for a few days before planting and kept it watered. After planting the tree isn't doing great. There aren't many leaves and they as starting to look moldy. I emailed Brighterblooms.com and my email bounced back.

My email bounced back as undeliverable

I attempted to get ahold of brighter bonds with concerns about the tree as soon as it arrived. My email was rejected as going to an unmentioned email account. They offer no way to reach them other than a phone number. I called when I could - I work 2 jobs and prefer email or chat - but it phone line said I was next in queue, and I waited 35 minutes before I had to go back to work. I paid for the warranty, but clearly there isn't any way to reach them so that's just a joke. All but 1 limb was off the tree but in the box when it arrived. Buyer beware I guess.

No one answered the phone. The email bounced back. There is no chat option. I had NO WAY to reach brighter blooms customer service.

Reason I chose this business:

They had a tree that I was looking for in stock where the other retailer I use was our of stock and it isn't all that common.

Reason I chose this product:

It is what I was looking for, specifically.

The tree arrived in a little rough shape but not do to brighter blooms, was packed up tight and secure, the delivery company threw it around a lot by looks of box, weather was also very hot so some of the smaller branches were & are still turning black & dying but think it will rally
