    So glad I found this website. The price that I paid for my shrubs was much lower than the local hardware stores. They arrived in great shape and neatly packaged. Would recommend to anyone.

    I looked at the stores close to my house and the plants were in such large containers that didn’t work in my garden. The plants I bought were just the right size and they are healthy and the packaging was great. I have ordered more plants since. Probably will order again from this company.

    Just right, could not have hoped for better product or service.

    I’ve been looking for plants of this size for a while. Plants By Mail always seems to have what I want when I want it. These yaupons arrived healthy and in very good shape and quickly! From now on Plants By Mail is my go to place to purchase shrubs.
