When I first started ordering from Proven Winners Direct they were great. Great prices, didn’t have to spend a fortune for free shipping and everything was packaged perfectly. Fast forward to a couple of years later and every year the price you have to spend to get free shipping goes up, the packaging is inferior now causing you to receive damaged plants and prices have went up. I understand about the economy I get it but peoples income isn’t going up either. It just seems to me every time a company grows and gets bigger the worse they get for cutting costs and delivering inferior products. If your company is growing and prospering why is your packaging and shipping and actual products getting worse? I was going to place an order but now you have to spend $150 to get free shipping and shipping is $20 so just crazy if you just want a few plants plus the prices went up which they already charge more than the big box stores so just not worth it anymore.

Loved the beauty of some of my plants. Sadly, Some were jammed on top of others in the packaging, damaging the plants below. I had, for instance, 2 petunias...one was much larger than the other, the smaller one never caught up as I had hoped it would. Still, they grew well in the short time I had them...about 2 months. It appears our intense heat in Fla. was too much for them all. They all started dying close to the 2 month mark and high summer. Proven Winners were no help and indeed, were rather dense, dull, and unintelligent. Certainly there was no help for me. I won't buy from them again. Ever.

Sort of a wash here. They offer great plant cultivars that you sometimes can’t find at garden centers and box stores but if you buy directly from them, they are ridiculously expensive for the tiny plants you receive. $20 for a quart-sized stick-of-a-shrub plus $20-40 in shipping charges.
