Plants are large (except for the one mini of course, but it's a nice little bundle!), healthy, and in great shape due to the careful packing. One of them is a Black Mamba- nearly impossible to find this time of year- which I got mainly for the very dark blossoms. They graciously decided to include a freebie, and picked a nice large Kiwi Black Magic, which also has a dark purple blossom. So, thank you for the gift, thank you for noticing, and thank you for the thoughtful consideration that went into choosing it! I'll be back in the spring! |

This year, Jim's had 2,718 varieties in their catalog! I've always been very pleased with plants from Jim's. They're always arrived healthy with good root systems, and are accompanied by a nice bonus plant. Prices are quite reasonable. |

I am very pleased with the customer service and the hostas I ordered. The plants arrived well packed and in excellent condition with a bonus plant too.

Positive | MNhostaLover (2 reviews) | On Jun 29, 2011, MNhostaLover Farmington, MN wrote: Jim's has (what I believe to be) the largest selection of hostas online. I placed my order in winter for a spring delivery. When the plants arrived, they were well packed, but they were NOT fresh. It looked like they'd perhaps been packaged for a few days before they were shipped. They were limp. After an overnight soak, some did regain their upright shape, but two did not. |

Prices are reasonable and shipping is great. I order 3 or 4 times a year and I'm always happy with the plants I receive. |

I found them thru the Hosta Library's auction and ordered several from their website. They even sent a nice bonus plant ! Very quick to ship and great packaging. They sent nice size plants with great root systems. I highly recommend them for any hosta you'd want. |

I have placed 1 order, and have won 2 separate auctions from Jim off of the hosta library's auction site. He always sends a nice bonus hosta with each order! All of the plants I have received from him, about 10 in all, have been outstanding! |
Positive | ic_conifers (14 reviews) | On Aug 4, 2008, ic_conifers Iowa City, IA (Zone 5a) wrote: I drove from Iowa City to Dubuque to pick up one hosta that I ordered from Jim, a 'Gunther's Prize' that I did not want to risk to shipping. After a wonderful guided tour of the gardens, I bought three other cultivars! All are great looking plants and I expect they will all do well in my garden. Vising in person is an amazing experience, to see these wonders in full specimen size is truly something to behold! |

And, never in a million years did I expect a free gift! The free hosta I received was beautiful. Well, you've got yourself a customer for life. Thank you. On May 16th, 2009, Cheryl8 added the following: Another year, another order and thrilled again. The hosta 'Candy Dish' I ordered arrived perfect and very healthy looking. I am extremely pleased with it. The bonus hosta is always a treat. The hosta 'Clovelly' that I ordered from Jim's last year is outstanding this year. I just love it. Thanks again. |

Not only were they quite large they were also very healthy. They all looked great, even though it's late summer. He even put a bonus plant in. I would definately order from him again. |
Positive | AddieOtto (5 reviews) | On May 17, 2007, AddieOtto Clementon, NJ (Zone 6b) wrote: I had the pleasure of meeting and purchasing a plant from Jim from his vendor table at Hosta College. The plant I purchased, as well as all of the plants I saw that he had for sale were simply fantastic. He seems to have everything anyone could ever be looking for and I will definitely be doing some mail order in the future. |
Positive | City_Sylvia (4 reviews) | On Aug 6, 2006, City_Sylvia Dallas, TX wrote: My first expierence with Jim was on Ebay where I decided to purchase an item instead of bidding on it. When I went ot his site I discovered more Hostas that I have ever seen anywhere. I perused his site for two days and never got to the end of it. He has the most exciting collection I have seen anywhere. He has the patience of Job! he has so much stuff I kept switching my order and he never said a word. This is where I shop when I want something different! I had one complaint and he took care of it rapidly and I still got my bonus plant! He is a good guy! |

Positive | LazyJean (14 reviews) | On Oct 8, 2005, LazyJean Omaha, NE wrote: I'm also a fan and repeat customer of Jim's. His selection of hostas is unsurpassed by anyone else on the web. Every hosta I've ever bought from him over the years is doing great. Keep in mind he sets his price per hosta eye, at least in most cases. I highly recommend this vendor, especially for those hard to find hostas that you just have to have! |

If you are truely a hostaholic, he has the largest selection I have ever seen....I have placed a few orders with him this year, and have not been disappointed....plus a "freebee" to boot! I received large, healthy, and well packaged plants....his price range is well, wide!!! Something for everyone! Jim's is surely one to satisfy! I can't wait to order "Candy Dish" next spring!! |
Positive | GardenGeek_WI (13 reviews) | On Aug 28, 2005, GardenGeek_WI Central, WI (Zone 4a) wrote: I ordered from Jim for the first time and had a very good experience. Jim was courteous enough to e-mail me and let me know that one of the hostas I had ordered was in it's "summer color". That particular hosta loses it's coloring in the hotter months and will emerge in spring with the "regular coloring". I was extremely pleased as I would have thought the wrong plant was sent. I appreciate his professionalism and will definitely order from him again. He has a Great selection. Kelly |

I also received a free, surprise hosta. Jim has many hostas listed that I could not find anyplace else and I will be ordering again from this company. I liked his quick Email responses and the Priority Mail packing was just fine. |

Positive | indyom (6 reviews) | On Jul 17, 2002, indyom wrote: I ordered from Jim in 2001 for the first time. I ordered again this year. The 2nd and 3rd yr t/c's were somewhat smaller than expected, but he included a free plant to compensate for their size. The ones that were mature divisions were very nice. All plants were received in good condition. All are thriving in my gardens regardless of their original sizes. Over all a positive experience. I will be doing business w/ Jim again in the future as his selection and prices are some of the best out there. |
