I've never ordered anything from Sequim before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The website was easy to navigate and the order arrived quickly. I ordered the plants (9 of them) on October 23rd and received them on November 3rd.
The packing box was stuffed with newspaper, not styrofoam peanuts, so that was good news right away. Lucy had to inspect the box, of course.
The plants are shipped in little band-type pots, 5.5" tall and 3" square. Wet paper is placed over the surface of the growing medium and is rubber-banded in place to prevent the medium from spilling out in transit. The plants are then wrapped in newspaper, and the tag for each plant is then taped to the outside of the newspaper-wrapped plant.
I ordered Correa pulchella, PCH Iris 'Filoli,' Primula auricula 'Arundel,' Primula auricula "Doublet,' Primula 'Belarina Nectarine,' Primula 'Belarina Pink Ice,' Primula 'Penumbra,' Primula 'Tie Dye,' and Sempervivum 'Flamingo.'
The plants are all quite healthy and good-sized. The Correa even has some buds and one bloom.
I can recommend this nursery without reservation. The prices were reasonable. I paid $71.55 for the nine plants and $18.00 for shipping. I'd give you a link to their website, but Firefox won't let me, so I'll come back on IE to do it.
