I placed 2 orders in November for 15 daylilies, 2 Hosta, 7 lilies and 7 iris after I had ordered, received, and been overall disappointed with some daylilies and iris from 3 "big box" nurseries. Hallson's plants were delivered quickly (I believe within 3 days both times) and WOW! The quality of their plants are the best that I have experienced (and the bonus plants were of the same quality, too!). All were large, plump and healthy. I popped them into their new homes in the greenhouse and noticed today (11 weeks later) that 4 of the daylilies are getting ready to bloom (big, beautiful buds). Thank you, Chris! Oh, and the "big box" plants? Some were thrown away when they arrived (rotten through and through) and most are still struggling to graduate from 4" pots - none are near the size or quality of the plants that Chris sent (those are in 1, 2 and 5 gallon pots). Again, thank you Chris!On February 18th, 2012, Old_Gardener added the following:
I need to add that the hostas, lilies, and iris are all up and growing very well - the Hostas will be needing larger homes, soon.
I placed an additional pre-order in January. Chris has been very gracious, answering several questions and allowing me add to the ever expanding order. - Again, thank you, Chris! Hallson has become my top "go-to" nursery. On March 31st, 2012, Old_Gardener added the following:
I received my order yesterday (12 daylily, 3 pardancanda, 16 iris, and 19 lilies) and I am so pleased!!! Hallson Gardens provides generous, healthy clumps at great prices coupled with wonderful customer service. It truly does not get any better than this - Hallson has set a new standard that few will ever attain. Thank you, Chris, - you and your nursery are the best! (and thank you so much for the "extras" - I appreciate it)On May 22nd, 2012, Old_Gardener added the following:
I placed another order - this time for 3 Liriope, 3 Acorus, 3 Dwarf Iris, 3 different Hibiscus, and 1 of each Sisyrinchium and Nepeta. As with prior orders, my plants were shipped quickly (only 2 days in transit from MI to CA). All of the plants are exceptionally well-rooted and healthy. Chris also sent an extra that perfectly dovetails with my order. Hallson is truly the best of the best!

Hallson's is amazing. I had bought a hosta from them and what came was a large 2-eyed plant. Much better than the puny (albeit pretty) tissue culture hosta I got from ebay. And you don't have to worry about possible HVX infection.
Also, stupid me thought my card had enough cash for it, but some other purchase hadn't been taken out yet, so I only had $23 left for a $24 dollar purchase(stupid stupid stupid I know). Hallson's discounted the price by 7% and even still sent a freebie hosta( a mini hosta with four eyes). You don't see that kind of service everyday!
I've ordered from Hallson Gardens for two years now, and have been so pleased with the plants and quick response. The quality of both the hostas ordered, and service are the best I've found. Last year, I bought a "Dragon Tails" hosta from another grower - it arrived with 3 tiny leaves (not that "Dragon Tails" is very big anyway, but still - 3/4", really?) and it didn't last long enough to make it into a pot. This year's "Dragon Tails" plant from Hallson's is just beautiful - bushy and healthy, with a heavy root system. What a difference! And the bonus plant they sent just happened to be a mini hosta I've wanted for awhile.
I highly recommend Hallson Gardens.

I checked Hallson Gardens out on DGW before I ordered, and can now add my praises for this company. I placed an order for Hostas and Hardy Hibiscus, and Chris sent the hostas right away so they could get established. I was a bit puzzled when I received a 3 foot long box for a hosta order....that was because two of the plants he shipped were that tall! All plants were just lovely and healthly and never missed a beat in my garden. My Hibiscus order just came, and they were very large and well rooted. I like the little planting guides that are enclosed,too. I will definately buy from Hallson again, and refer my friends to a great online nursery. On May 6th, 2012, ycn4chin added the following:
I received my Spring order from Hallson and was very happy again. I ordered several hostas, another hardy Hibiscous, some ferns and some lily bulbs. Everything was well packed, and quite a nice size. It was shipped when I had requested, and Chris emailed with the details. I also received a bonus Hosta, and it was a collectors' variety that I was extremely pleased to add to my garden. I consider Hallson a very reliable nursery.

Well,First of all I called Hallson's because they were the only Top Dog company with 'Tom Schmid'. I just didn't know if they were still shipping hostas or not because it's almost July, right? He (Chris) called me back within 10 minutes, I was stunned. It took me about three hours to pick out the other five plants. I research each one on plantfiles. I registered on 25th, got confirmation and tracking # on 28 and received plants on 30th, just as the tracking said. Right on schedule ! These are a little more expensive than my last mail order but well worth it because of the size, they are all three year plants. Very big and healthy. Packing was great and shipping charges were reasonable. I would recommend them to everyone and I plan on doing more business in future. OH, I also received a very healthy, very popular, Hosta as a free gift! I am very pleased!

Received another great order from Hallson's. Huge plants and a wonderful free gift which is never a liner, 'June Fever'. Great packing and communication. Good job Chris, love this company!
(pictures on Hosta forum, 'Mail Orders, good or bad...)
Although Hallson Gardens do not specialize in lily bulbs, each year they offer many kinds of lilies. I've placed orders with them for the past four years and have been very satisfied. The bulbs are always "grade A" quality and the customer service superior. Hallson Gardens always tucks in a "bonus bulb" with each order and it's nice to see how the "mystery bulb" develops -- usually something different and enticing you to buy more. Hallson Gardens is top notch.

For Hallson there should be something that is higher than positive.
There is a reason there are no negative comments for this Vendor. You get above and beyond what you pay for and are treated as a customer that they want as a repeat customer. They are the best on the net. Love, Love, Love them. They appreciate their customers and it shows with the quality of plants sent and always put a little extra in the box as a thank you.
I am another customer that cannot say enough good things about Hallson Gardens. On April 20th, 2012, audwoman added the following:
Received my order this week. I order from many online vendors and Hallson is the best for quality and size. No tiny 3" pots with little roots. You get a quality plants with large roots.
They are the only vendor I have ordered that send plants that you would get at a local nursery at a very reasonable price. They also send a bonus plant that is as good and large as the plants you ordered.

Better than expected hibiscus roots - they sent very large clumps and threw in a freebie too. Super fast shipping. If the flowers come up strong, we will definitely be ordering more!
I have mail ordered plants from many vendors over the years and have been mostly satisfied. BUT, the order I just received from Hallson Gardens is SO superior, I must post a positive here so others will know. The hostas all have 3 - 7 eyes, which is just spectalular. I have ordered from Hallson's for 3-4 years now, and this year they have really outdone themselves. Everything is packed well - so they will keep till the last of freeze scares are over. You will not find another vendor to match the customer care that Hallson's provides. Thank you Chris for all your hard work-at the plant farm, on the hosta forum, your HVX work, and your customer focus.

I just received my second order from Hallson. The plants in both orders are/were high quality / and very large for the price. The customer service is excellent! My experience with this last order illustrates the quality of the customer service under trying circumstances... I noticed my order had not arrived when I expected. I checked the email with delivery info, clicked the link and found the package had "arrived at location" 4 days prior. I asked Chris for some assistance tracking the package (I had a very busy day planned at work and with some care I needed to provide for my father) Chris contacted my post office immediately. The post office informed Chris the package had been delivered. Still, I was sure I had not recieved my plants. I called the post office myself and got the same answer -the package had been delivered.
Long Story short after telling Chris regardless of what the post office said I had not received the Hallson pkg and providing what email evidence I could to support this (I supplied this evidence on my own not at Chris' request) Chris offered to replace the delivery with no questions... The post office did deliver the package a couple of hours after we called (chg'ing the pkg status to "Delivered"), I was out of town for 2 days commuting between work and my father's, and by the time I opened the package I found a few items fine (mostly sedums), and a few items (lungwort and huechera) flagging a bit. Chris replaced those items that were distressed.
Chris made what could have been a frustrating experience (due to no fault of his own) a pleasurable one. I am both impressed and grateful. I can not recommend Hallson enough.On October 8th, 2010, 2862scooter added the following:
I placed several more orders with Hallson this fall and I am happy to report that they still provide a high quality product for a very reasonable price. Packaging was excellent. I ordered Lungwort, Astilbe, Iris, Hosta, Sedum, and Helleborus and Daylilies. All were very good size with great root systems. As usual they included a bonus plant with each order (a sedum in one and an astilbe in the other).

Cannot say enough good things about this company. I placed 3 orders in the past couple of months - too many plants to list here. Every time, without fail, the plants were lush and the roots were moist and very well developed. Also without fail: incredibly generous bonus plants. The printed instructions are clear and very useful. Very easy to order, very fast shipping, and very patient communication - thank you, Chris. In addition, their shipping charges (to Pennsylvania) are more than reasonable. I will definitely order more from them in the future.

I placed my very first order with Hallson Gardens the other day and received the hostas today. Super fast shipping!! I am so, so pleased with the hosta plants. They were packed beautifully and carefully - and these are large, 3-year-old divisions with at least 3 eyes. I ordered 3 hosta plants, and received a beautiful bonus hosta besides (a real plus is that this bonus variety is one that I had on my "wish list").
I can't praise this company enough! Great selection, fulfillment was fast, shipping was fast, and the plants are wonderful! Not a droopy or wilted leaf among them - roots are perfect and moist.
I definitely will order from Hallson Gardens again!

First I would like to say that Chris goes way out of his way for you. If you live within 100 miles of this place it is worth the drive!! They have more perennials than I have seen in one place. The plants are very healthy and have large well developed root systems. Chris took me around to all the plants he thought I would be interested in and he was right on most of them. They have many unusual perennials and even dug a few out of the garden for me. I will definitely return to them for their plants. Thanks agian guys for your time.

Made my first order last month with Hallson, after reading reviews on the company. Just ordered a couple of daylilies, to "test" the company, since I've had problems with a couple of others, before. The daylilies arrived quickly, and in great shape, and were packaged carefully. The company included a couple of free bulbs for Lillium - again, packaged carefully. So far, I'm very pleased with my experience.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience purchasing hostas from Hallson.
Communication was top-notch--my order was confirmed immediately, and when I placed a second order and included a note asking for combined shipping I received a prompt response combining my order. Since I'd ordered in winter, before I knew what the spring weather would be like, I did have to write and change my shipping date. That was also seamless--I received a response in less than 24 hours confirming my new ship date. Later, I was notified when my order shipped and given tracking details.
The plants I received were well packaged and arrived beautiful and healthy. Hostas from Hallson are field grown, and they arrive bare root. The root systems are incredible--no weakling plants with puny roots that require babying. I planted the hostas I ordered and they quickly took off.
Hostas are generously sized--the best I've seen from mail order (and I've tried a few.) When ordering hostas, check the site to see what you're getting because size is listed with the plant description. Most are 3 or 4 year old plants dug whole for shipping. A few are divisions, but you receive two or three substantial eyes.
Every good thing you've heard gardeners say about Hallson is true--they provide exceptional service, have tremendous knowledge, and sell gorgeous healthy plants. You'd be hard pressed to find better for their prices at a nursery, much less any other mail order company.
One of my very favorite mail order plant sources. The plants are large and healthy, extremely fast shipping and great customer service. Definitely one of the best around. I have yet to be disappointed and have been buying from them for about 4-5 years.
I am lucky enough to be right around the corner from the nursery and have been buying from them when they were on wolf lake and truly appreciate them taking the time to advise a novice such as I and helping set up my original plantings with a great assortment. People say I have some of the best looking plants on lake somerset.

This is my first time ordering from Hallson Gardens. I ordered:
1 Echinacea Mac N Cheese
1 Echinacea Tiki Torch
1 Echinacea Tomato Soup
1 Echinacea Sundown
This company has great communication practices and actually offers to add or substract items from the order prior to shipment, not many mail-order companies do that.
I searched for a company that offered all of these coneflowers at reasonable prices and that had good to great ratings on Davesgarden, a lot of research went into selecting Hallson Gardens for this order. There was only one coneflower on my list that Hallson's did not offer and that is Tangerine Dream.
But in any case, if their plants are as great as their customer service, I will definately be a repeat customer to this company. On May 14th, 2011, JMKM1976 added the following:
I have recieved my coneflowers and I have to say that this company is still A++++. The coneflowers were big roots, just coming out of dormancy and appear to be very healthy. They even sent me a free coneflower 'All That Jazz'.
I've purchased nearly a dozen conflowers this year and I have to say that, compared to two other mail order nurseries and my local garden center (which doesn't have a lot of selection), the coneflowers recieved from Hallson's are exceptional in size and vigor. They also sent along tips especially for growing my coneflowers!
Also, these plants are huskier root stock than is offered anywhere else for the price. So, instead of paying the same or as much as $6 more per plant elsewhere... I'm just going to stick with Hallson's!

I have ordered bare root perennials for many years and I received my first order today from Hallson. Boy was I impressed. The plant material exceeded my expectations. Extra large roots and plants. Healthy material. Profesionnal packaging. No slimey leaves. No tiny root system. Well developed root systems equal to 2-3 years growth all packaged in a dry peat material. And their prices are as good or better than other nurseries who charge top dollar for small plants. I advise everyone to order material from these guys, I know that I'll be ordering lots more.

I received my first order from Hallson Gardens and was very pleased. They are truly deserving of all the praise here.
Everything was packaged well and even included labels.
All the plants and bulbs appear to be healthy and just beginning to show growth. I look forward to seeing them all bloom this summer.
Recently ordered three hostas from Hallsons after calling and getting first hand advice from the owner as I had not grown hostas before. They arrived on time and had a large root system and three thick sprouts at the top. I planted them as instructed and they are on the grow already. Also an extra plant was put in and it too is sprouting. I can hardly wait to see the leaves. Having toured many places that sell hostas I can see that this large root system and 3 huge sprouts are a very good value for the money.

First time ordering. I was looking for a particular variety of mountain bluet (amethyst in snow) and decided to look at the nurseries listed in the top 30. I noticed Hallson Gardens was located in Michigan (where I am) and having not had previously heard of them I figured what the heck.
I got the bluet, a daylily, a sedum and a number of lily bulbs. The perennials were planted immediately (and have started growing already), the bulbs have had to wait, but they are good healthy looking bulbs.
The nursery included a free bulb, similar to the kinds I had already purchased and its one that I would have purchased had I noticed it when I was placing the order originally.
Packing was very good, in a priority mailing box and snugly packed. All plants (and bulbs) were packed in peat moss and still dormant when received. Prices were fair and I wish the place was closer to me as I would make the drive out next time instead of waiting for the mail to arrive. An email was sent upon shipping.
I ordered Asiatic, oriental & trumpet lilies.
The trumpet lilies were the best, large and fragrant, the Asiatic lily were good but the oriental lilies were a little on the small side.
Good experience overall.

I ordered based on the high DG ratings, and was not disappointed. The hosta plants that arrived today were large, clean, and healthy, and carefully packed. Good communication from Hallson, and the plants arrived when they said they would. And they included a nice bonus. Thanks to a great seller!
I ordered 25 day lilies and they arrived quickly in perfect condition. They actually gave me several extras. Even through the horrible St. Louis heat, they are thriving. I also ordered ligularia and it grew so fast it overtook some I had planted 6 weeks earlier. They give excellent planting instructions, and I will certainly order from them again. Also, they respond immediately to e-mails and answer all the questions you could have about their plants. Highly recommended.
I ordered from this company because of its DG ratings and was not disappointed. Prices are reasonable and bulbs were in good shape. In addition, I got 1 or 2 extra bulbs which was a very nice surprise. Thanks Chris and all of those folks who contribute to DG.

Great experience. Opened the box and had three items - I had only ordered two; when I checked the packing slip, it turned out they had included a bonus sedum. How nice! The items were all bare root, and on one (coreopsis) I could not tell which end was up and didn't know what to do. I called the next day, and Chris answered the phone and took the time to explain to me in detail what to look for and how to plant it properly. He was extremely helpful and I was impressed to call and have the phone answered by someone who could answer my question right off the bat, in such detail. Although I would prefer to receive plants in pots, rather than dormant bare root plants, I would definitely order from Hallson again.
