The scoop on 'Adelman Peony Gardens'

Have ordered a few times from Adelman's. Roots are nice size. Peonies bloom first year! I had opportunity to visit them, and as expected, they were great!
I recommend them without hesitation.

The peonies I received from Adelman's are absolutely magnificient. Their customer service is outstanding! I had chosen a plant that they were out of, and was given a substitute specifically chosen to match the one I wanted. When I have received the plants, they are huge! and they grow into wonderful, beautiful plants! I cannot say enough about this company. I have purchased peonies from two other mail order companies, one of them, a "high end" company, and will NEVER do so again! Adelman's is the best by far for peonies.

Within several days I received large and healthy peony roots of a species I had been looking for for perhaps 10 years. I can't wait until spring!

fine plants, kind people

I ordered a peony from Adelman's this fall. When I received it I was shocked at how big the root was. I knew from previous reviews that it would be large but it was beyond my expectations. I can't wait til spring to watch it grow.

I called last Friday, Oct 13, to see if I was too late to place an order. I spoke with Carol and she said it was OK. She also anwered my questions about hazelnuts. Today, Monday, Oct 16, my plants are already here. I don't see how that is even possible. From Oregon to southern Indiana in a weekend. I couldn't be happier with the service or the plants. Outstanding.

Wow. I just received my order of peonies. That was fast, less than a week and all the way to the East Coast. That's what I call a root. The peony roots are large (really) with plenty of eyes and healthy sturdy feel to them. These are definitely not no.2 pencil size roots that other company sell. There is no doubt in my mind that this is gowing to grow and flower. They were packed very well in a clear plastic bag filled with I think is milled peat moss, and with lots of newspaper cushioning in the box. Roots were also labeled very clearly. I am really impressed at the size of the roots and quick delivery. To me that shows a company that has alot of passion for peonies. I will definitely order from them again. Just Wow!!!

I ordered 5 peonies roots for this fall and have received them. They were well packed and labeled. The roots were large and each had lots of eyes. They looked in very good condition. They also included planting directions.

I ordered Bartzella from Adelman's in the fall of 2005, not expecting it would come up in the spring of 2006, but lo and behold, it did, and it was beautiful...I thought that was pretty good that the very next year, I already had a bloom...and pricewise, I think they were a little cheaper than some other places had Bartzella for. I will (and already have) ordered from them again for fall 2006 planting...also, they seem like very nice people to deal with, very helpful and knowledgeable

Last fall, I ordered 8 different peony varieties (one plant of each) from this company. I really liked that their catalog descriptions incuded fragrance qualities and how old the variety is. The roots arrived promptly and in great condition...all were labeled, large and had several eyes. This spring, all of the plants came up, and almost all of them have multiple, large flowers on them....much more that I expected for 1st-year peony plantings! I can't wait to see how they do in year 2! They were a bit more expensive than other companies, but considering the quality of the plants, they were a bargain.

Ordered a few peony plants, and all came in in nice condition. The roots were healthy, big, with nice eyes. I just got them in this year, so I do not know if they will flower true to description, but all were nicely labeled & well packed. Overall I'm very pleased with this company!

I just received an "Athena" peony root from Adelman Peony Gardens. It was packaged well, and there appears to be 6 eye-divisions, with roots that are nice and thick. Customer service was good...everything has been done just as they said it would. I'm pleased!

I just received my first order from Adelman Peony Gardens. The four peonies were in excellent condition. The smallest one had 6 eyes. They were packaged very well and sent by priority (2 day) mail. They were a pleasure to deal with over the phone. I will definitely order from them again.

I just received my first order from this company. I purchased 2 herbacious peonies, and they are fabulous - the best I've ever seen. Tourangelle (double pink) has 4 very large eyes and 1 small one. Paul M. Wild has 5 enormous eyes. They are incredibly fresh. I faxed my order, waited a few days, and then e-mailed the company to make certain my order was received. Jim and Carol Adelman almost immediately e-mailed a gracious response. Thank you, bettyann279, for your comments on great customer service. This company has a great reputation in the trade, and first rate customer service is the icing on a terrific cake of wonderful selections and first rate quality.

I went to visit them last spring and they had some of the best peonies I have seen. It is a small family owned mail order nursery and they were very nice and friendly. Just recently I ordered a root from them hoping that they could deliver it this winter. Much to my dismay I found out it wasn't their regular shipping season. They normally only ship roots during the fall. But when the owner found out it was for my mom's birthday she went out of her way, got a root ready and shipped it the next day. My Mom got a really nice root for her birthday and I was one really happy customer! They send out a price list and have a pretty good selection of varieties.
