Ordering plants online

Any recommendations for websites? 

I wanted to order from Springhill Nurseries or Michigan Bulb but the reviews are really mixed.

I have ordered from Gurney's without any problems.

Last year was the first year I ever ordered plants online and one of the sites I used was Springhill. I thought I'd give them a chance, despite the bad reviews, since everything was so cheap. Obviously, I should have just listened to the bad reviews. More than half of my stuff never came up. I'm sure some things I planted last year that didn't come up will grow this year but I don't want to wait a year for my plants. Plus they bombard you with catalogs. I knew the stuff was bare root but everything was really tiny, dead and junky when it arrived. I have been looking around some and using Dave's Garden Watchdog pretty heavily. I am trying to look up individual plants on there and see what they have as their top 5 nurseries. I've noticed that the places that are reviewed really well seem to be priced the same or higher than going to a regular nursery so I think I am going to use a regular nursery for most of my plants and just buy a few unique plants or colors online.

Avoid springhill.

DH and I used them at our first house. All the plants we ordered were mislabeled. We wanted red, and they were labled as red, but they bloomed as pink.

totallytomato.com is the only site we use to order.
