Burgess seed and plant5/4/2023 the unlabeled bulbs are growing well, the trumpet vines are doing exceptional, and last of all, the lilac is unsatisfactory, but also at least growing. A giant, MOLDY clump of roots, and only a total of three sprouts from the entire bundle. The single rose I ordered is also growing at a snails pace, but the red sedum is doing as poorly as the rest. And the wisteria? 2/3 have yet to even put on roots, and thats WITH rooting hormone after over two months. Four plants, right? Completely drenched in water, soaking, in a poorly packaged bag in a box, where one completely rotted in transport, while the other two took reporting twice to get stable. But the worst of all, id say easily, were the giant tomato trees. The grass has yet to bounce back, and the moss hasn't grown even slightly since repotting. The fern, the grass, and especially the Irish moss, were so disgustingly root bound I didn't know where to even start. I spent nearly $200 on, what I am very disappointed and reluctant to say, crap. I spent $6 on three SEEDS? Again, under the impression of at MINIMUM starts or sprouts. I read nothing about the Wisteria being dormant, nor the black current and the ranunculus? Forget it. I was NOT under the impression I was receiving sprouts or dormant starts, either. The ostrich fern? Shoved in an obviously small plastic container, many fronds wer stuck in the plastic and were dying/dead by the time they arrived. Second, I receive only 2/3 total that were supposedly shipped. First, I receive these packages two months late. They have been saved!)ĭon't make the same mistake I made! Order local and spread the word! Notice that they don't even have a physical address! * Finally, I got an email reply with a worthless $10.00 "replacement certificate" - Shipping alone from these crooks is over $10.00 - rest assured, I will never order anything else from them - instead, I will spread the word to the contrary (I've already stopped three friends from ordering - they knew I had ordered, and were going to do the same. * In the meantime, as I already experienced, no one answers their phone number instead, you have to leave a message. * At the end of the year, only one thing was living, a spruce that had one side branch with green needles - it has since died too * The trees were actually sticks which they referred to as having roots - these had none * Many of the trees I ordered were substituted for something else during the hottest, driest part of the year in August of 2020! * After a great deal of follow-up and ZERO response or communication from Burgess, I finally received my order. I felt comfortable because they have been around for so long and they had a stated warranty. In November 2020, I ordered almost $200.00 worth of plants from Burgess.
