I have printed out all the slug resistant hostas and the sun tolerant. I could not resist the autumn sale with the 33% off, great time to get those hostas I could not afford mid season. Plus free shipping makes me very happy. I just ordered another five hostas and they are kinda dormant but the roots are strong and healthy. I am very impressed, as always with the fast shipping. (pics on hosta forum 'mail order experiences, good or bad') On April 23rd, 2012, virginiarose changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following: I was happy with my order over-all. The Great Expectations they sent was huge! There was another plant I considered to be a bit small but It all balanced out because of the extra large GE they sent. At first the plants were not in good shape, the packing was not as good as in the past and I had a big mess because the dirt feel out of the pots and the hosta's were slightly stressed out to put it mildly. However they did perk up rapidly after I repoted them and they are so very beautiful. I did contact the company and was given a full refund, but by then the plants had perked up so well, that I just sent the check back. I really am happy with my order and since I did report the problem I believe it will be corrected quickly. :) (see my pictures on Hosta Forum, 'Mail order experiences, good or bad....') On June 16th, 2012, virginiarose changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: Oh, forgot to mention, I Received an apology from this Company, regarding the packing. They also gave me a come back coupon for 20%!! On October 31st, 2013, virginiarose added the following: Well, I finally got to use my coupon and yes it was still there! I loved the fall sale and I got 8 hostas that have been on my want list for a while and also got one that I already have because you really can't have too many 'June' hostas. Especially here in zone 8, they really tolerate heat well as with the others I ordered. I put this order in late Sunday night and when I checked my email the next morning they had already shipped. Wow!! I got my box yesterday when I got home from work. Great packing, and still moist. I love that they are already potted and I had nothing to do but unpack and give them a squirt of water. Yippee! |

Ordered and got my hostas 2 days later. They arrived in excellent shape (just starting to go dormant -- nice, big, healthy root systems). Really like their website too - easy. I'd highly recommend them. |

Negative | Gran2013 (1 review) | On Sep 20, 2013, Gran2013 Grissom AFB, IN wrote: I ordered 10 Hostas for my Hosta garden last year, and only 3 came back this year. It is my fault that I did not call them sooner, but today when I called with my concerns the representative cut me off and told me in no uncertain terms that it was NOT their product, and that he was sure of. I have never ordered Hostas online and will think twice before I do so again. I have many varieties in my garden that I have purchased and have been given to me from other gardener friends, so I do know how to grow them. These plants simply did not survive the winter, and not only did the company not back up their product, he was rude in handling my concerns. Lesson learned. |
Positive | LorRag (1 review) | On Sep 16, 2013, LorRag Marietta, GA wrote: I found NH Hostas quiet by accident and was impressed with the number of Hostas available--much more choices than at a local nursery. I have order several times and all of the plants have arrived in a timely manner and have been very healthy upon arrival. I love looking at the different species and finding spots in my own yard for them. |

Positive | vermontgarden (1 review) | On Jul 28, 2013, vermontgarden Asharoken, NY wrote: I ordered from NH Hosta based on the positive comments offered by other gardeners. I could not have been happier with the heuchera plant plugs when they arrived two days later! The plants were healthy, great size and well packaged. I placed them in the ground immediately and they look like they have always belonged there. Great product, fine company...I will be ordering again in the near future! |
Positive | jfkiii (6 reviews) | On Jul 15, 2013, jfkiii UNION MILLS, NC wrote: I read all of the positive reviews for New Hampshire Hostas, and just had to place an order to see for myself if all the comments were justified. Well I can report they were and the plants were received in perfect condition. Large plants arrived in 4.5 inch pots and easily transferred to my containers. |
Positive | gingersmommy (1 review) | On Jul 13, 2013, gingersmommy Rochester, NY wrote: I ordered three Regal Supreme hostas on Saturday night. They arrived at my home on Wednesday. They were packaged with care, completely undamaged and intact, and very vigorous. I am very satisfied with the product and feel the price to value is excellent. I appreciate being able to select from hundreds of varieties and choose the hostas that best fit my space and environment. The website provides excellent information about each variety. The directions that accompanied the plants was thorough and complete. At the garden store, the selection is limited to only 4-5 varieties and the prices are expensive. As far as I am concerned, I will be ordering my hostas from NH Hostas from now on. |
Positive | englishgardens (2 reviews) | On Jul 6, 2013, englishgardens Ann Arbor, MI wrote: I received my first order of 7 hostas from New Hampshire Hostas last week, chosen from their weekly specials. I am absolutely delighted with the company. The hostas are very healthy and much larger than I expected. They arrived 4 days after I ordered them and the packaging was top rate. The hostas were very fresh just as if they were dug the same day. |
Positive | GamePreserve (1 review) | On Jul 1, 2013, GamePreserve Gaithersburg, MD (Zone 7a) wrote: Healthy plants, a large inventory to choose from, extremely fast shipping, reasonable prices…what more could you ask for? We ordered a total of 14 hosta, which were a combination of sizes ranging from 35 mm starter plugs to 4.5 inch pots. Our plants were delivered within three business days of placing the order, and the box was packed perfectly so none of the plants were damaged. The plants themselves were green and healthy. No brown, wilted leaves or visible disease. I fully expect them to take off without a hitch and become nice full mounds by this time next year. I highly recommend NH Hostas, and will definitely be doing business with them again. |

I purchased Hosta Key West and Hosta Gentle Giant (both starter plugs). Very happy and satisfied with my purchase and will be purchasing more in the future. Highly recommend. |

I immediately put my hosta in a larger container. I have looked a very long time for one and decided oneday recently just to order online. I will definitely recommend New Hampshire Hostas / Dave's Garden to whom ever. Thank you so much. |
Positive | flowermum9 (1 review) | On Jun 6, 2013, flowermum9 Rutland, MA wrote: I received my order yesterday. They came within a few days of my placing the order. All the plants were in perfect condition! The hostas are small, but priced accordingly. Full sized plants from a garden center are twice the price, and local garden centers have very limited selections. Very happy with my purchase, and plan on ordering from NH Hosta again and again. |

Positive | CecilyF (2 reviews) | On May 9, 2013, CecilyF Rhinebeck, NY wrote: I ordered 2 hostas which were very large and healthy, as were the ferns. They were very well rooted and should be very successful. The plugs were small. In fact, I didn't realize the 2 were wrapped together and I called the company to ask them where was the other plug. They told me to look at the packaging and I would see the second one. The person offered immediately to replace them if they were too small, but I think they'll be fine since they are healthy and well rooted. A very good value! |

I was leery about ordering the plugs, as I didn't know what to expect. Well, no need to worry! The plugs were exceptionally healthy and VERY well rooted. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. |

Plants arrived fresh and happy. Plants are gorgeous, huge, and healthy. Packed with obvious love and care. This owner obviously takes great pride in his nursery and it shows with old-world pride in every detail. Delightful. I hope to meet these people some day if I'm ever in New Hampshire. What a company! |

They consistently provide robust plants that survive. I especially like their plugs which are live plants well leafed out with robust root systems. I will be ordering again from them. |

Positive | 83 (2 reviews) | On Sep 28, 2012, 83 Marshall, IL wrote: I have ordered plants from them twice. Each time the plants were received at an appropriate time in a healthy condition. This time I was in New Hampshire and stopped by the store. It happened to be a day when they were not open to the public. We realized the store was closed and my wife an I prepared to leave when the owner, Mr. Merritt, motioned me in. He had seen my license plate and noted that I was from out of state. He and PJ took the time to help me select two plants and make arrangements for them to be sent to my home. I appreciated the help and the consideration. |

I checked New Hampshire Hostas, and they had it in stock. They were also having a sale, so I ordered some other hostas that were priced so low I couldn't resist. I ordered on Monday, got an email notifying me that they shipped on Tuesday, and had the plants on Thursday. All were nice and healthy with roots coming out of the bottom of the pots. I am very pleased! |

Everything has bee potted up and doing well. Once the heat breaks, I'll get them in the ground. It's just easier to keep an eye one them while they're in pots in one place. |

We were also very pleased with your reasonable prices and the nice sized plants (not teeny tiny) we received, as well as the friendly answers to our questions over the phone. Our new hostas are doing beautifully! I certainly will order from you again, and will recommend your company to my friends. Thank you! |

There website is first class ,their servious is also. I know some people have had complaints about their shipping ,but to compared to some of the other dealers the potted plants are wonderful. Yes there maybe a little dirt loose in the box ,but a little water take care of that in a minute. Overall I find them to be the best. |
