I received my package with postage due. Diane said explained the post offices mistake but she refunded the difference anyway. She also promised to refund postage if rhis should happen again. I'm surprised and thrilled by this policy. I received the seeds fast and a bonus pack was included. This is a company I will return to again and again.

Comment from Diane Linsley at Diane's Flower Seeds:

I recently found out that the post office has been stamping some of my packages with the wrong shipping amount. At least two customers have been charged extra shipping when their packages were delivered. If this has happened to you, please contact me, and I will refund the difference. Thank you for your patience.

P.S. We cleared up the problem with the post office, so it shouldn't happen again."

My first time ordering from Diane, was very pleased at how fast I received them and got all that I had ordered, with a bonus packet of seeds as a plus. Good prices and good selection of seeds to choose from! Nice sowing instructions on the packets. Now, to see how well I can get them to germinate and grow.

I ordered from Diane's flower seeds for the first time and am very impressed! I ordered some flower and tomato seeds that I have never seen on other sites. I even got FREE SEEDS!!!

I ordered a few seeds from other seeds sources and Diane's was the first and still only seeds I have received thus far. Very quick shipping. I loved the variety of seeds on her site. I am excited to try some of the flowers and tomatoes I ordered . I will definitely order from her again.

Thanks Diane, my order was shipped promptly, I receive what I had ordered in good condition. The packaging is excellent with easy to understand instructions on how to plant the seeds on each of the packets.

I rate their service A+ and will shop with them again.

The Calendula seeds were viable and germinated within four days. They are now strong seedlings and it won't be too long before I transplant them outside. I hope I can do more business with Diane's Flower Seeds in the future.

After several good seed orders from Diane over the last two years, I decided to buy some daylilies this year. The prices were quite reasonable, the communication was very good...and quite personal, as always...and delivery was right when agreed upon. The plants just arrived, and they are large (bareroot) and healthy looking. Of course, there was a very nice bonus plant, nicely color matched to the rest of my order.

Doing business with Diane is like dealing with a good gardening friend. I will always order my seeds here.

Received my first order from Diane and am very pleased. Well packaged and shipped very quickly. I also like the fact that sowing instructions are printed on each packet..it's not always provided by other vendors. Some of the types of seeds are new to me and I won't have to look up when and how they should be planted. The free packet of seeds was also appreciated. Now, I have my eye on her daylilies and hope to order some of them as well. Couldn't resist doing a second order of seeds today....wanting to try sweet peas and an unusual medicinal herb/spice called Nigella Sativa (black cumin).

I love Diane's wonderful selection of seeds. She is very helpful and knowledgeable. I just placed two orders this month. She always sends a bonus pack of seeds and that is appreciated. Her prices and shipping are reasonable too. Will definitely order again.

I placed a small order earlier this winter and was surprised by the extremely quick shipping. I have since started my seeds under lights and was pleased to see the excellent, near 100% germination as well as the sturdy seedlings that have resulted. This seems like a truly great company with a lot of hard-to-find seeds. I will definitely order from them again in the future.

This is my first time purchasing from Diane's website. I was looking for trumpet vine seeds and scarlet runner bean seeds, which haven't been the easiest seeds to find. Not only did she have both of them, but I didn't have to pay very much for shipping, especially since I only wanted 2 packets of seeds.

Her packaging for the seeds is well thought out and appropriate for each type of seed, her shipping was prompt and she included a free packet of seeds.

Her web site is simple and well done and she had the information I needed to start my seeds on her site. I'm impressed. Good service, good prices.

Wow! Positive, proper, and professional (at least, up until she sent extra seeds since she thought they might be "harder to germinate than other species" in the genus.) Maybe not profitable, but she's got a lifetime customer - and I'm a competitor!

Diane gave very personal attention to my order, shipped immediately and included a free packet of seeds! I am excited to get GROWING! Her website includes detailed information and even personal experience related to each seed variety. It also includes sowing information for each type of seed. Seeds come carefully packed in see-through plastic packets. I ordered a bunch, and when I opened up the package, it even smelled like Spring! High quality, great customer service, and competitive pricing. I look forward to returning again and again.

I placed an order on Jan 20, 2007... I received automated order receipt and a personal one (which I thought was wonderful) the day the order was placed... My order arrived on Jan 27... nicely shipped, and protected.

I think the website is wonderful.... great information about starting seeds and a few other articles... I used paypal ... quick and easy transaction...

I think the prices are very good... much cheaper than other commercial sites and I like the personal attention

This will not be my last order.

I placed my first order with Diane 3 days ago from Portland, Oregon and received it today-well packaged and protected from the elements, plus a bonus package. She was very nice and seemed to really care about what she is doing and the people she sells to. What a class act! I feel very fortunate to have found Diane and am already planning my next order from her. Though my experience was "positive", I am more like "elated" to have found one of those hard to find (people) companies that really cares.

I ordered from Diane's Seeds for the first time last spring. The order was shipped quickly and the seeds came in tiny individual plastic envelopes which are nice to check how many seeds you have left, but are easy to mislay. Most of the plants did quite well. What I thought was amazing, considering that I had never tried them before, was that all of the daylily seeds germinated and grew to a respectable size by fall. I can't wait to see what colors result when they finally bloom. My only failure was with the Allium seeds. The suggestion was to propagate them outside, but a wet winter probably drowned them. My bad.
I will definitely try this company again.

I've now ordered two or three times from Diane, every time with good results. Germination and growth were excellent on the seeds I ordered and planted last spring. And my recent order arrived very promptly. Will definitely order again--good products, fine service, interesting and accessible website.

I purchased hard-to-find small glassine seed envelopes from Diane. By return mail I had them. What a nice surprise. I realize this was a very small order but, I still got first rate service.

I'm sure selling the envelopes is just a courtesy for her seed business. but what a nice service to provide them. I have already recommended her to a customer and will continue to do so.

This was the first time that I dealt with Diane's Seeds and I loved it. I placed my order by mail and received my order within a few days. Not only did I receive my order, but I was given a free sample of Mexican Cinnamon Spice Basil. I will definitely keep Diane's Seeds website and address handy for more product. I am all about good customer service and I must say I received it. (even without the free sample I would order again because of how quickly and efficiently I received my order).

Outstanding! I have a completely black thumb when it comes to seed-starting, and this is the first time I've ever had any success with seeds at all. And not just success--a 100% germination rate on every variety I ordered. The seedlings seem to be stronger than usual, as well. I had to leave unexpectedly for a week due to a family emergency, and I expected all of my seedlings to be dead when I returned home. Most of my "box store" seedlings were either spindly or dead, but everything from Diane was still happily growing away despite my neglect. The pink Morning Glories, in particular, are doing wonderfully. She has a very nice selection of seeds for a small, independent businesswoman, and her varieties are not the same-old seeds that you see everywhere else.

In addition, Diane ships promptly (her seeds arrived days before orders I'd placed elsewhere on the same day), and she answers all e-mail right away. I've already ordered from her twice this season, and I will without a doubt order from her again.
