Each time I have received exceptionally large divisions of healty rootstock. I highly recommend La Pivoinerie d' Aoust to anyone looking to add to their peony collection. In addition, Lindsay is always very helpful and able to answer any questions about the plants she is selling - a valuable resource! |

At the time I lived on the 5th floor of a 6-floor apartment building. The site was in the corner of the balcony facing west and north where we got a lot of wind. It was in great shape and very large when I got it. I planted in in October of 2004 and in mid-June of 2005 it put out its first flower. Gorgeous peony! If it weren't for the $35 charge for customs inspection I'd buy there again, but I can't see paying $80+ for one peony. |

The packaging was superb. Lindsay also included an extra variety that will go well with the others. Make sure you order early, as they sell out of most of the peonies offered. I would recommend this nursery. |

I ordered early and received my order at the proper planting time, four healthy huge roots! I too was gifted with a nice bonus peony. I will be for sure placing another order with them again next year. |

She handles the phytosanitary certificate required for U.S. importation for a very reasonable fee ... and has a great website ... and is marvelous at responding to emails personally. I can't say enough good things about the nursery ... or the person! |
Positive | francoiseb (1 review) | On Dec 29, 2007, francoiseb Montreal, Qc, Canada wrote: I ordered 4 peonies in the spring of 2006, they were delivered as scheduled in September, with perfect instructions and... one extra peony, in a color matching the others! They all bloomed beautifully the next spring, and I know they will keep getting bigger and more beautiful with time. I could not be more pleased with the flowers and the very friendly service of Pivoinerie D'Aoust. |

They are the benchmark against which I measure others. The roots are always huge and healthy. On June 3rd, 2008, grenouille added the following: Les 5 pivoines achetées en 2007 vont fleurir dans quelques jours. The best place to buy peonies is always the Pivoinerie Daoust |
Positive | uroboros (18 reviews) | On Sep 12, 2006, uroboros Montreal, QC (Zone 5b) wrote: I just received my peony order. The roots were COLOSSAL! I'll be shocked if they don't bloom next spring. I ordered quite a few peonies, and, much to my surprise, 2 bonus peonies were included. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I am a big fan of single peonies, and the bonus plants were singles, too! For the price, it was a bargain. |
Positive | Kelly_M (4 reviews) | On Jul 12, 2005, Kelly_M Fredericton, Canada wrote: I bought Garden Treasure last fall. It arrived on time, large, healthy and well packed. This year, in its very first season after planting, it bloomed true to name with 5 blossoms. I couldn't be more satisfied. |
Positive | GardenKonig (1 review) | On Apr 7, 2005, GardenKonig Bronx, NY (Zone 7a) wrote: In the summer of 2004 I first contacted La Pivoinerie D'Aoust via e-mail seeking advice regarding a bare-root peony I purchased from a local garden center in spring (I know now not to plant them in spring). As it was growing, I realized that I planted it upside down by mistake. |

She is so helpful by phone or email whether its her product you're inquiring about or not. Her website is TOOOO Tempting and has some of the best descriptive info of any of the sites I've searched so far. |
Positive | gallerygarden (2 reviews) | On Oct 29, 2004, gallerygarden New Franken, WI wrote: I ordered 6 peonies from Pivoinerie D'Aoust this summer. Three were ordered online, three I added later over the phone with no problem. Lindsay was fun to talk to, enthusiastic, and very helpful. Seven great big peonies (one extra!) arrived exactly when she said they would. I hope to report on them this spring when they leaf out. I have already recommended Pivoinerie D'Aoust to a neighbor, and I'm very anxious to see the 2005 online catalogue! The website is both beautiful and valuable cultural resource. |
Positive | Lynnette (31 reviews) | On Aug 16, 2003, Lynnette Courtenay, Canada wrote: Excellent peony nursery. Have ordered for three years and each time the plants were large with at least 6 eyes. One time I received an extra plant as they felt the one I had ordered was too small and it had 4 eyes on it. Will order again. |
Positive | Moscow (1 review) | On Jul 7, 2003, Moscow wrote: I ordered from this company for the first time in 2002. The peonies arrived in good shape in the fall, and all three flowered (4-5 blooms per plant)this spring. Needless to say I've already placed another order from the far too tempting collection offered. |

The peonies arrived in plenty of time for fall planting and were very healthy looking roots. Will update later on how they grow. On October 3rd, 2002, Marymyra added the following: Had blooms on all plants but one the first year and ordered more for planting this fall. Very satisfied customer. |
