Clethra aln. 'Hummingbird' (Summersweet) Shrub, white flowers, #3 - Size Container

I purchased 3 Hummingbird summersweet shrubs.I was so excited to get these! I was waiting on my front porch for the UPS driver and practically sprinted down to his truck to helped carry them to up to the house! Then I came inside as soon as I unboxed these babies to write my review. Lol.Let me just say, I love plants! I would skip Christmas and get all my presents in May and October if I could. My grass quivers in fear every time they see me staring at it for too long, because it knows I’m imaging where I’m going to dig it up and put a new flower bed.In the past few years, I’ve started ordering more from online nurseries when I can’t find a specific plant locally. Some experiences have been okay, others excellent. This company definitely falls into the “excellent” category.The boxes were very sturdy and rigid. Plenty of room to protect the plants from getting crushed or banged up. The pot was wrapped in plastic to protect the soil from being disrupted in transit and they also included a cardboard collar at the base of the plant for extra stability. I could tell they got a nice drink of water before they were shipped, since the soil was still nicely hydrated.Here’s the amazing part: There wasn’t one single broken branch or snapped twig in any of the boxes. Not a bit of spilled soil. Literally zero damage to the plants!The plants themselves were so so healthy! Lush, shiny green leaves. No leaf spot or insect damage. They looked better than plants I picked up from a local nursery last weekend. They were also much bigger than I expected. A lot of times nurseries will really trim back their plants before shipping, but this one is still very full.I’d order from this company again without a second though. The cost was very comparable to what I’d pay locally for a similar sized shrub. And the free shipping through Amazon beats the high prices I pay when I purchase direct from an online grower. Plus, they have a return/refund policy. So if you aren’t satisfied it seems like it would be pretty easy to get it replaced or get your money back.

What a pleasant surprise when this bush was delivered to my doorstep. It was carefully packaged with instructions on where to open the package so not to damage the plant. There was a very ample size, gorgeous , healthy shrub with new growth and many beautiful, white flowers. If I could give you 10 stars I would!

Thrilled with the size and condition of this plant! I have bought other plants online and gotten little roots for significant dollars; this was so different. The plants (I bought two) came in large well designed cardboard boxes. The soil was moist and the plants were thriving. I planted them immediately and they now have buds. I am so encouraged to have a source for the large variety of plants that I hope to add. Thank you Amazon and Green Promise Farms.

I received a gorgeous plant that was great size and full of buds. The buds are just starting to bloom and it is doing great! Definitely would buy from here again.

Two beautiful, healthy plants delivered in May. I felt the price was reasonable. It's now mid-July and both shrubs are in flower--the fragrance is delightful. Very pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate ordering again from Green Promise Farms .

Looked great on arrival . I gave it extra care and one half of the plant died. The second half is struggling to survive

We received our Clethera 'Hummingbird' today in perfect condition. Packaging was superb and the plant arrived in terrific shape. It's a well-established plant in a 3-gallon container, and ready to plant. Great value. We expect a beautiful addition for our yard.
