Reviews

“The two Banana Yucca plants I purchased were the best specimens I have ever ordered on the Internet and were very carefully and professionally packaged for shipment via the U.S.P.S. I was very pleased and satisfied with this outstanding service and delivery!”

“The plant arrived healthy and as described. The packing was the best I’ve ever seen when it comes to plants. The part that shocked me was the size of the box knowing I purchased only 1. When I read the note I was speechless- during the purchase, the selection I wanted was snagged by another customer but Etsy didn’t update and the seller got a double order. I was disappointed of course that I had to select another plant but I never expected the seller to give me the one I selected AND as second one. That’s above and beyond. This was a gift to myself since my BDay was the 9th of June. You’ve definitely made a customer for life. If you see a plant on this site don’t even hesitate to buy it. WOW!”

“Could not be happier with this purchase. Amazing healthy specimen showed quickly and was very well packaged and protected. Great price and highly recommended this seller A+. The only thing I regret is not buying two.”

“Golden Valley Botanicals grows happy plants. Globe mallow looked good upon arrival, was as described, and made a great gift. Shipped quickly and with care for the plant’s survival. GVB was quick to communicate. Thank you!”

Find Your Plant Hardiness Zone

USDA Plant Hardiness Zones are the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. These zones are determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree Fahrenheit zones. Just enter your zip code into the field below to see your own growing zone.
