Just as I've come to expect. more beautiful plants at a great price. Bluestone is my go-to nursery for great perennials for my garden. They have never let me down once.

Great service. Thank you.

The plants always arrive in great condition. Also love the natural containers that are able to be planted as a whole instead of plastic. Great selection of plants as well

This was my first time ordering with Bluestone Perrenials and also my first time ordering plants online. It was a very satisfying experience and I certianly will try them again. I especially liked their instructions - easy to follow and actually a pleasure to read! Thank you to those who grew and shipped my plants! Now I only have to deal with the snails.

Your products are very healthy, shipped ingeniously and I (for one) love the way you have them for from the box to the ground planting. This was my first time with you and I am so happy I found you. You have a customer for life with me.

It was easy to find and order what I was looking for, plus something else that caught my eye. Plants arrived timely and in good condition for my fall planting season. I'll be back.

I received a nice sized Clematis in an interesting pot/non pot. Good service and arrived at a good time for fall planting.

I ordered because the fern I was looking for is difficult to find locally. Bluestone had it... and it didn't hurt that they were running a fern sale. Rapid shipping, amazingly secure packaging, and my plants arrived in excellent health, as well as being of good size. Due to an error on my end, the box went unopened for nearly a week... my ferns still looked fantastic. Thank you, Bluestone!

Fair price, excellent plant and shipping. Happy I found Bluestone.

Plants arrived in excellent condition, looking very healthy, trimmed for best survival and easy planting. Instructions are excellent and complete. My order arrived one week late, but the reason was due to Hurricane Florence, an acceptable excuse. Pay a bit more than local nurseries, but get superior quality and an incredibly wide choice of plants that are hard to find in my community.

Excellent communication about my order. Clearly my order was handled and shipped with care.

I love the way the plants don't come in plastic! Also they are very healthy and an easy size to plant. Plus I love that I can look back at past orders and find the name of some plants if I wanted to add more and forgot to journal it down. You got a customer for life

It's all about the plants. Bluestone plants always arrive in outstanding condition and always survive. I've been purchasing from them for many years and will continue to do so. And I really appreciate the biodegradable "containers". Every nursery should use them. Bluestone is the best!

Plants arrived in good condition. If they do fine next year, then I would up to 5 stars. That's the real measure of a good plant company.

Bought orange and blue phlox. Healthy, 3 stemmed, well rooted plants in colors unavailable locally. Ready to plant in coconut fiber pots. Roots already moving out through the pot fibers. Look forward to the flowers next August.

Plants were undersized and overpriced. I would look elsewhere first, before ordering here again.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
