Gurney’s Seed & Nursery

I ordered from Gurney’s for the first time last year (spring 2015). I ordered raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry plants as well as beuregard sweet potato plants along with some seeds (they sell the massive Romas called «super sauce» that I love). Not all of the seeds germinated, but I had enough that did for my size garden.
The raspberry and blackberry plants looked like little sticks. I was so worried. However, they really took off in summer. I didn’t get a big fruiting on them (the raspberries had more than the blackberries), but the plants were healthy and very robust growers. I don’t see a way to add pictures or I could probably find one from this past summer.
The strawberry plants all did very well. Again, they didn’t fruit well and I don’t know if it’s because it was only their second year or what or I could have been doing something wrong with the soil. I’m new at this stuff.
The sweet potatoes grew vigorously. I didn’t lose any plants, but I didn’t get a good harvest at all. We had a very wet spring and summer, and I didn’t have loose enough soil I don’t think.
Finally, I did order some azaleas and those were super tiny. I don’t think I will order any live plants like that again, but I wouldn’t hesitate to get their vegetable/​fruit food or the berry plants.

UPDATE– year #2 and this is what they sent me to replace the crappy tomato plants they sent last year. I will spend more time nursing these things back to health than if I just went to Home Depot and bought some healthy plants, ready to go for HALF the price. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

One item in my seed order was wrong and when I contacted customer service, they corrected it the same day. I offered to send the seed packet (which was not what I ordered) back to them or pay for it and they gave it to me as a complimentary gift. I see all of these negative reviews and I just don’t understand. I will definitely purchase from this company again.

I used to think this was a nice family run USA business until the last 2 years each time after my order I received an invoice saying I owed more money. I called and both times got a person with a strong Indian accent. Both times they said never mind, I did not have to pay. I sent an email complaining about the way they do business and got a very lame reply and with bad English. I am trying Jung seeds this year.

Overpriced without 50% discount.
Few of the seeds acutally sprouted.
Many are also gmo seeds and no way to tell if your purchasing gmo or not.
I bought $ 100 worth, $ 50 after discount.
After first planting threw the rest out.
Went with another company and got 90% sprout rate

I purchased three bamboo plants from Gurney’s. Upon a second review, their website (
) cleverly does not tell you the size of the plant. I was HORRIFIED that I paid $ 30 each for the tiniest bamboo plants… they couldn’t be more than 6 inches high and they were in 3 inch pots. I will never, NEVER, purchase from Gurney’s again and I recommend you place your internet orders wisely and cautiously.
