Cottage Farms is on Zulily today, if anyone is still looking for spring plants.

Thank you for this. Is Phillip Watson on Zulily too?

@ValuSkr, No, he's not. Zulily is web-based ordering only. Think on-line catalog. The prices are really good but you have to be sure of what you want. The return policy is pretty crazy.

FYI: I've recently received several Cottage Farms plants I ordered from Zulily and they're not just small like the ones I ordered from QVC.... They're miniscule. Too small and pathetic to put out in the big cruel world. I'll have to make them houseplants for a couple of months.

@Kachina624 That's too bad, the plants I receive from zulily have been great. This year, I bought the Cottage Farms set of six variety tomato plants, las year I bought sets of cherry tomato plants and they were delish, and have already planted them as they were a good size. I have bought Cottage Farms hydrangeas and roses at zulily and all are good. I keep very small new plants in one gallon nursery cans until they are a good size to

I just bought a set of two Lilacs that will grow only five feet, and these will arrive in very small pots, 4", so they definitely will go into larger pots until they are a substantial size to plant in the ground.

@mousiegirl I've bought succulants and 3 tiny little sun patients. I don't want the big set of sunpatients that QVC sells so was happy to be able to get only 3, but I doubt they're an inch tall. My kitchen window looks like a greenhouse.

@Kachina624 An inch, that is tiny. I hope they thrive, but if not, zulily will refund you. Even the companies that I buy from every year that have wonderful plants, very good sized when I receive them, many did not survive to greet Spring, and have no clue as to why they didn't, because the majority are thriving.
