Anyone heard of “New Garden Plants” as a vendor?

They have a couple varieties I would like to order, but I am leery of the very, very low prices. Anyone had experience with them?

    Never heard of them but I googled it and found a business address in Hudsonville, Michigan, about 10 miles from me. Could this be the one? Google maps show a residence with greenhouses behind it. Went to their website and not sure if they have what I'd be interested in but if it's the place you refer to, I will try to check them out in the future.

    I might add that this area is noted for and has many commercial greenhouse businesses and growers.

    I don't know it but it is easy to research. This is an online plant vendor only. Hasn't been around too long and has a very limited presence on Garden Watchdog. Reviews are very mixed, regardless of source - as many negatives as positives. Most have to do with poor customer service if any problems (plant health, mislabeling, substitutions, etc.) arise. One concern was an "F" rating by the Better Business Bureau.

    I rarely do any mail order but if I did, this company would not be very high on my list. I'd approach with caution.

    ETA: This seems to be a 2 man, mom and pop operation. My assumption is that they are too busy in season to be very responsive to customer issues.

    I like to know the size of the pot they are talking about for advertised plants. For annuals I could easily find this but not for perennials. They called it a pint and I cannot gage that anymore. I wish them luck.

    I can't seem to post an actual link but I think If you copy and paste this to your browser it will bring you to the one I found. I guess this is a link. :)

    " I like to know the size of the pot they are talking about for advertised plants."

    Looks like most perennials and vines are sold as quarts or a pot that is approx. 4.5 inches wide and 4-5 inches deep. A pint pot has a 4 inch diameter/width and is slightly less than 4 inches deep.

    Old_dirt, thanks for putting the link up. gg, thanks for sharing the reviews you found. Given those reviews especially the one from the BBB, will stay with my other vendors. $10 for a hosta seems too cheap for good plants without being able to see them.

    djacob, Yes I have about 200 hosta's in my yard. along with perennials, shrubs, and annuals.

    I've been reading the hosta forum for years and truly enjoy it. I started ordering from New Garden Plants in 2015. My hosta's come from many of the nursery's that have been mentioned on here.

    I just wanted to give an update. I received my order a few days ago. All the plants were in great condition and much larger than the ones I got from other well known online retailers.

    Due to the number of negative reviews I wanted to give an update. I ordered two "Quart" Lenten roses. They arrived in good order, with several sprigs of green leaves and the root bundle moist. I have reordered for several other varieties that are not available in my home nurseries. I was satisfied.
