Love these!
I ordered 5 of these and they were in terrific shape when they arrived. I didn’t plant them for two weeks, yet took care of them. Here is a picture from the day I did plant them. I hope they thrive and I’m thankful I was able to order such healthy, large plants via Brighter Blooms!

Perfection!
Arrived well packaged. I ordered 45 and all arrived in perfect health and uniform. It’s been over 2 weeks, and all are happy. It was worth the investment.

Shrubs came packed very well, and looked great! They seem to be thriving despite being planted in July! Very happy with purchase so far, they have been in about 10 days.

Birthday wish
The shrubs were a birthday present for my daughter who was seeking a privacy hedge at her new home. While small to start, they were already showing new growth before she even got them planted. They are now happily planted, are healthy and should be providing the desired privacy in a few years while also attracting birds with their berries. She is delighted to have these fast-growing shrubs that are less traditional than your typical privacy hedge.

Fast shipping and healthy plants
The shrubs arrived quickly, well packed, and were a good size; however, they each have a spotty white film all over every leaf, like some kind of mineral deposit. It wipes off with some effort (but doesn’t wash off). The new growth doesn’t have these white spots and they look healthy otherwise.
One is already flowering, despite planting it in July! I planted them near trees which provide dappled shade nearly the entire day. They get about 1-2 hours of full sun.

Skip laurel order
Order updates and shipping information were provided in a timely manner. Plants were packaged well and came in good condition. We planted them and they are now on a drip system and looking well. I'm looking forward to them getting bigger as they will provide a very nice screen between us and our neighbor. Thank you.

Arrived in bad shape
I received a diseased plant, according to the neighborhood gardener. My plant arrived all wilted with holes on most of the leaves. He said it is not a pest doing this to the leaves, but an actual disease. I will keep watering it according to what the customer service person said... they mentioned it should revive after some time. I’m hoping that it will, but I am disappointed with the shrubs I received.

Nice size shrubs
I ordered 8 of the Skip Laurels, I wanted more but was hesitant incase they came smaller than the size I wanted. I should have ordered more! They were perfect and when I went to order more they were sold out. They were packaged really good and arrived nice and healthy. I planted them about a week later and they are still looking great for a privacy hedge.

Tough travel
The 3 Skip Laurel Shrubs arrived looking very dry and tired. Hopefully they'll spring back to life. They didn't look very happy.

Glad I did it!
So far so good on my three Skip Laurels. I was hesitant about ordering on-line. Now, I want to order more. The plant is gorgeous.

For the price the bushes
For the price the bushes were much smaller and not as healthy as they should have been. The advertising is deceiving

Arrived later than they had
Arrived later than they had predicted according to the website - the poor shrub is in pretty sad shape. I think there was a delivery delay as you can see from the roots that it was healthy - now just a lot of yellow leaves. Going to have to stay in the greenhouse to recover as we are part of a garden tour so I can't have it out in the garden. Oh well - it will be fine by next year.

I recieved 2 scrawny plants, contacted them directly to work it out and was advised to send a photo of the plants. I did, no response. Insult to injury I went to the Home Depot Hyattsville MD, where the same plants in much better shape where there for $29.99 each

The laurel bushes were beat up and certainly not as advertised. These are much smaller than as described on the Home Depot web. The trees are planted, but do not look healthy. Overall - I am disappointed.
