I've been a consistent customer of Lots of Plants, having purchased 12 plants totaling nearly $1,000 over the past year. Generally, I've been satisfied with the quality of their plants and the efficiency of their shipping. Admittedly, the pricing is on the higher side, although still more affordable than most online competitors. Comparatively, it's pricier than my local nursery, but Lots of Plants offers plant varieties that are unavailable at the local level.
However, my recent experience has left me discontented. Specifically, I intentionally opted for a 6-gallon Olympic Fire Mt Laurel to secure a larger plant. To my dismay, what I received was a 3-gallon plant inside a 6-gallon container. This revelation came from my prior purchase of the same plant in a 3-gallon container last spring, with an identical size to the one already thriving in my front yard for a year. The new plant featured a notably small root ball, occupying just a third of the container, while the remaining two-thirds comprised nothing more than pine bark mulch. I ended up paying double the price for the exact same-sized plant I acquired last spring in a 3-gallon container—an extra $64 for a purported 6-gallon container.
Adding to my dissatisfaction, the plant arrived dislodged from its container within the box. Although the plant seems healthy, approximately half of the root ball was exposed, albeit still enclosed in a plastic bag. Despite being promptly planted in the ground and adequately watered, the extent of its survival remains uncertain.
