Dotted Horsemint
The plants were big and healthy and in the short time I've had them, they've doubled in size. The packing was beyond excellent with no breakage or damage at all. This was my second order with Mail Order Natives and everything I have purchased is thriving.

Monarda Punctata
This is my second order of spotter bee balm from mail order natives.com. I love this plant. Si ply put, bee balm is a bee magnet attracting native bees of all shapes, sizes and colors. My new plants arrived in excellent condition and are now thriving in my garden.

Healthy, big plants!
When I order plants online, I sometimes get lifeless twigs in the mail and sometimes they take after planting, and sometimes they die...so I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this plant. These bee balms are tough so I knew whatever condition they came in they'd be okay after a season. When they arrived, BIG, green, so healthy I was very pleased! Planted them today and they are doing great!

tough as nails
Planted last fall, grew like crazy and was HUGE and attracting lots of beneficial insects by late spring! I should have ordered more plants! The rest of my planterbed plants are nowhere near as established as my horsemint.
