Park Seed

Full review
I ordered a collection of three interesting poppies (Manhattan, Harlem, and one other that I cannot recall), a ground cover collection, and creeping thyme (thymus serpyllum coccineus) and a reblooming daylily (Rainbow Candy) from Park Seed on April 3. I'm in zone 4, so they don't ship until mid may. Sometime in May, I checked the site to see if my order had shipped. I noticed that the poppy collection now stated that "Harlem" was no longer available and a different poppy would be included. Of course, on the order status page, it only lists "poppy collection" and not the specific poppies in the collection.

On June 12, my order finally shipped - well, part of it - sort of. The poppy collection I have been shipped does not include "Harlem". I'm getting "Manhattan," "Burning Heart," and "Eye Catcher". I don't recall either of those last two. Instead of "Rainbow Candy daylily" I'm getting "Dragon's Eye" - not even a rebloomer. Every time I've looked at their site since I ordered, "Rainbow Candy" has been featured on the front page - and now they couldn't ship it to me? No sign of my ground cover collection or creeping thyme.

It seems like they have a real problem with inventory control. I suspect that all of the "Rainbow Candy" daylilies and "Harlem" poppies went to people in zones 6 and above - even if they ordered after I did.
