Very dissapointed with customer service. I wanted to purchase a native perenial passion flower that produced fruit evey year. On the sign for the passion flower, it showed the native maypop variety that's purple and white. I paid $50 for the plant, expecting it to be both perenial and fruiting.

Read moreThey did not honor the warranty on a plant that died on me. It was a fairly expensive plant almost $50 and I bought it in the early spring. It shed leaves a bit early but I wasn't sure if that was the usual. In the spring I gave it a chance to bloom and it didn't. It went a few weeks past the 1 year time frame but I took the plant with me and they had record of the purchase. I see no reason to pay 2-3x as much for a plant whose warranty is not going to be upheld. I won't be going back. Kinda sad as they usually have a nice variety. I would love to support local business and have bought many plants there in the past but in the past it...
