Placed large order on 4/12 with company stated expected delivery of 4/20. It is now 4/30 and I have received NOTHING from this company.
Requested total cancellation when nothing arrived and was denied because my order was " in process" on 4/27 and should be arriving soon. The shipment has to travel 50 miles to me and it still isn't here, but my card has been charged. NOT COOL NEVER AGAIN Negative 2 stars if I could.

OrderWEBWG1716092

I will never order from you again. Had to make several calls, on hold for 20 min first time, second time waited 30 min. I received . Boy received one plant so far. Got the run around today when I called. Looking at my order status, it said two other orders shipped on 4/4, did not receive that order.
You need to take training on how to handle situations better.

Dead Plants

My plants arrived on the day to plant them in Kansas. I hired a professional K-St gardener to plant them. The trip was too much for these plants. They are sadly dead.

shipping delay

Unfortunately I have not yet received my order, therefore unable to give a higher rating. My order was placed 3 weeks ago and I am in zone 9 so this was not an issue in shipping. After 2 weeks I wrote requesting information and received a automatic response stating they were experiencing heavy volume of customer service and would get back to me asap. Never heard a word. Received notice today package arriving tomorrow.
Can't attest to quality of product since I have not received it. I am not going to bother ordering from this company again.

The plants and flowers are so healthy and just as described; the packing is protective and we have never had a problem. They stand behind their products too and have replaced free of charge any item that did not survive

My #1 source for plants…

Wayside has always provided an interesting variety of plants, suggestions for pairings and combinations, and very healthy plants. Whenever there has been an issue with the health of a plant, Wayside has responded very satisfactorily. Wayside is my #1 source for plants and I do order many plants each year.

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, not only was the wrong plant delivered, it came with a giant locust looking insect that had already eaten a huge portion of the plant’s stem / bark area.
