April 19, 2012 | Customer service is fantastic. I ordered 2 peonies through a co-op purchase in 2010. Since I have never grown peony before I called prior to the order and spoke to Don who talked me through the planting process and care in detail. Both of those roots received were planted according to directions and the spring of 2011 only one survived (and bloomed). I was concerned with just the one breaking ground and called them back to ask for suggestions on what to do and what I may have done to cause her not to survive. Again my concerns were discussed in detail and we could not determine if I killed my peony or if it just simply didn't survive the conditions I placed her in. The peony was replaced for me late fall 2011 and I'm happy to report that now in mid April of 2012 she has been up 6 weeks and already has 5 buds.
Hollingworth's customer service is above and beyond what is commonly encountered in today's world. Good old-fashioned one-on-one service is difficult to find and I recommend giving this company a call and finding out for yourself how valued you are as their customer. |

September 21, 2011 | Received my order yesterday; large, firm, healthy divisions with many eyes. Packaging was perfect. The growing guide is very detailed. I recommend this seller. Get some of their own hybrids...they are gorgeous! |

December 22, 2009 | I co-hosted a coop this year with this vendor - they were wonderful!! They sent huge roots when they said they would so I could turn them around for the participants. Everyone seemed very pleased with the size and I was overly tickled with the customer service - he split our order in two, for two shippers and even caught my mistake in missing one participant's order - amazing and thorough.
I highly recommend this company for customer service and quality. |

October 10, 2009 | Hollingsworth truly ships an awesome product and has some really unique varieties to offer. A terrific DG friend here referred me to this nursery based on her great experiences with them. Roots are huge and healthy and easily a match for the best out there. I had the opportunity to visit their farm in Missouri this May and was impressed by their hospitality and the friendliness of Luke, who showed me around. The roots they sent this fall were equally wonderful and size/quality are definitely in the same league as the likes of Adelman and Klehm. Will definitely order from them again next year and encourage others to do so!!! |

September 28, 2009 | I have recieved peonies from Hollingsworth on 4 different occasions. Plant quality and size are the best. Most plants will flower for me the first year. There cannot be a better peony supplier in the world.
They promote their "Best Landscaper" plants. These plants really hold up as nice plants in the garden all season. I now use peonies in my landscaping business because they look like nice plants all year, not just in flower. |

September 7, 2009 | The peonies I've ordered from Hollingsworth have been true-to-name and well-sized; all have performed well in the garden. An excellent source for mail order peonies. |

April 18, 2009 | I ordered 3 peonies in 2004 and 4 in 2008. They are all doing very well. I wish I had space for more. The biggest reason I like Hollingsworth is because they identify Best Landscapers and describe their plants so well. If you buy a peony from a store or nursery, all you get is the name. With Hollingsworth, you get the information you will need and if you need more just contact them. They are the experts. |

November 11, 2008 | I've ordered from 4 peony suppliers this year, none of the others even came close. Hollingsworth peonies are huge & full of buds. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Hollingsworth=The Best |

November 4, 2008 | My first time ordering peonies from anywhere and it was a very good experience. The roots are huge with many eyes; well packed and fast. I mailed the order on Friday and they arrived Thursday. One note: I do wish they offered web-ordering. |

October 18, 2008 | Best source for peonies I have ever dealt with. They send huge roots, and responded the next day to my e-mail inquiry. I am not a peony expert, and their literature is the most informative of any I have seen. |

April 5, 2007 | I purchased a peony last year for the first time from this company. The communication was outstanding, the planting instructions superb and the peony root was one of the nicest I've ever seen. This peony was very hard to find.. They have an excellent selection of peonies. Highly recommend. |

December 25, 2004 | I have ordered twice from Don. His peonies are of excellent quality and they are HUGE divisions. Both times the orders were carefully packed and the response to any questions I had was timely and thorough. These are super nice folks to deal with. I will order from them again. |

October 24, 2004 | Excellent peony roots were sent, with nice eye divisions. These were the amoung the best plants that I got from about 5 to 6 different peony companies I ordered from this year, and I plan on ordering from this one again. All were well labeled, and as I just got them, I'm not sure if they will bloom true to description, but again, the roots are large & healthy & I'm sure will do great. |

February 21, 2003 | I have had excellant service and experience with Hollingsworth Peonies for over 5 years. Their bare root
divisions are of the highest quality, and delivery has been exactly when I required. Their descriptive literature
exceeds that of many other peony outlets.
