I like miniature hostas and this company had two that I had wanted for a long time, silver threads and golden needles and tattoo.I paid 12.95 and 13.95 respectively where other nurseries were charging twice this, if they had them at all.The plants arrived quickly and were beautiful.They were also quite large and have settled in nicely.Definitely a quality nursery.

This is the first time I ordered from you and I was very pleased with the speed and the condition of the plants received. I'm always hesitant to order plants off line, but I can't find the mini and small hosta plants around here. I'm trying to find and collect the "Mouse Ears" hostas. I have a good start, but finding them is difficult, if not impossible for some. Thank you for your prompt service and beautiful plants.

I was very happy with my entire experience with New Hampshire Hosta. the ordering experience was great. the website has TONS of pictures and categorization, as well as great sales. they had a deal running for free shipping on purchases over a certain amount, which was nice, but shipping seemed pretty reasonable before having been removed on my checkout. on top of that, the package went from new hampshire to nebraska in two days flat. they were ordered monday morning, shipped tuesday, and planted thursday afternoon.

i was skeptical about the shipping involved. i really couldnt fathom how mature plants would be packed effectively for travel 1500 miles. i was amazingly suprised when i opened my box. not a single damaged leaf, not a single dried out root ball, not a single stressed plant. they were laid flat, but within 10 minutes in the air and a bit of light, and they were looking perfect... 'Toy Soldier' was particularly stunning. can't wait to watch my shade garden mature over the years. big thanks and highest recommendations for this companies products and services!

I have never ordered hostas online before. I ordered some "plugs" for a few that were otherwise sold out, so wasn't sure what I would receive. I was happy with both plugs and regular plants. Everything was well packed and arrived in great condition. It was like Christmas opening the box. Will be ordering from them again.

For my first time ordering from New Hampshire Hostas, I was completely overwhelmed after unpacking my order, which I received today. I could not stop smiling!!! Careful packing ... Not one leaf on the total of 20 different Hostas I ordered were damaged. That is amazing. Size of the plants is very much appreciated ... They obviously put a lot of love & passion into what they do & Hostas I could never find, well look no further ..... Choo Choo Train was part of my purchase because of my husband's passion for steam engine trains & it is absolutely beautiful!!!

Well, I wish I had found this company years & years ago, but I know of them now, so maybe I'll keep them a secret from my gardening friends ... That wouldn't be fair to NH Hostas, would it??? I'll have to re-think that.

Thank you all at NH Hostas!!!

After receiving and opening my hosta plants today I now realize that I have been purchasing plants from mediocre nurseries!
Impeccable packing and shipping, but the BEST part is that I couldn't have picked out any healthier plants had I been there myself!
Kudoo's to all.......from the growers, to the packers and even FedEx.........professional all...and it's greatly appreciated.

Just received my order of two hostas from NH Hostas and I was amazed at how swiftly they arrived! The hosta sizes were nice and they were both very healthy. Additionally, the prices were very good and I appreciated the helpful hosta information included with the package.

This is a great company to deal with. Just received my third order, and the plant quality and packing is excellent. Even the plugs were good sized, well rooted specimans. The Heuchera and ferns were also perfect. Thanks for the great repeat experience.

Ordeded 3 hostas last spring, I received the hostas in a timely manner. Upon opening the package, 2 of the hostas that I ordered had a letter attached to them with a check for half the price of the hostas. What a surprise! The hosta's foliage was accidentally frozen in shipment. I was assured that the roots were just fine. I planted both as directed in the letter and they are growing just fine. It was an over and above for New Hampshire Hostas. What an example of excellent customer service!! Thank you!

This is my second year ordering from New Hampshire Hostas, and I couldn't be more pleased. The packaging is great, they use recycled materials such as newspaper, and the peanuts are made from corn, I had no problem lifting the products from their sides with minimal spillage. A small price to pay to keep packaging out of the land mines. Now back to the number one reason why I will continue to purchase from them, their plants are awesome, healthy, and grow with great success. Their website is fabulous, so much to choose from and very easy to navigate, and free shipping over $50. You will not be disappointed.

Given all the great reviews, I was a little dissappointed in my order. First the positives: the web site is great, they have a tremendous selection (I've been looking for 'Glory' for years), prices are good, shipping was very fast and free with a $50 order. Now the negative: the packaging was not very good. The pots were lying on their sides in the box, so the newspaper and rubber band packing didn't contain the potting mix. I had a big mess of loose soil, damp newspaper, broken leaves and soil stuck to the leaf surfaces. I contacted the comapny and received an apology and an offer to make things right. I will wait until spring to see if the plants make it through the winter. Despite the packing mess, everything actually seemed really healthy.

I would recommend this mail order plant company to all Hosta lovers.

I placed my first order with New Hampshire Hostas about a week ago based on their very high rating here at Dave's Garden. I wasn't disappointed!

Theirs is a wonderfully informative website and they have a huge assortment of hostas. A real plus with me is that they offer free shipping with orders over $50! Nice!

The hostas arrived today. They were very well packed, and looked very fresh - (well, except that they were practically begging to be taken out of the box!!)

After unpacking, I placed them outside in a shady area to let their leaves stretch out a bit - and, boy, did they recover quickly! I checked on them after an hour and they look like they were never in a box travelling from New Hampshire to Wisconsin!

I'm very, very pleased with my 8 hostas I received from New Hampshire Hostas. There's nothing like purchasing plants from folks who obviously care very much about customer satisfaction.

This is my 3rd order from NH Hostas. I had always thought of hostas as a "filler plant" but the information on their incredible website made me see these plants in a different light and I will continue to buy new varieties from them. By the way, I ordered on-line on Wednesday, they shipped on Thursday and I received on Friday. Beautiful plants - great packaging - really good prices. Can I give a Triple Positive!

This was a first time ordering from this company, although I have ordered plants online before. I was looking for the smaller variety hostas and New Hampshire Hostas had a good selection., The plants arrived quickly, all were very healthy looking and packaged with great care. It has been a unique experience; often I have had to nurse my online plants along before they had that healthy well cared for look.

This was my first time ordering from New Hampshire Hostas. I was looking for some miniature hostas to add to my front yard. The plants were in great shape, and they even added an extra one when one species was smaller than usual. I was so impressed with this exceptional customer service! I will highly recommend this company, and will definitely use them again in the future!

As first time customers we were totally satisfied with the service we received! They found us a few T. Rex Hostas as a special request and those along with three other varieties we chose arrived 4 days later in perfect condition. New Hampshire Hostas was extremely helpful over the phone. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for Hostas.

I would recommend New Hampshire Hostas to everyone. The plants were exactly as pictured - single plants for large hostas and multiple plants for the smaller ones. The plants took 4 days to ship and were in excellent condition. They were still moist and not a broken leaf or loose soil in the package. I also sent an e-mail asking a question for comparison purposes and a recommendation on specific hostas. The response was prompt and to the point. It's very refreshing to get an answer that tells both the pros and cons of a specific plant, rather than highlighting only the positive aspects. A great company with a wide selection and good prices.

My order of Ivory Necklace Hostas arrived Saturday, just 2 days after I ordered them online. I was amazed how carefully they were packaged; newspaper around the soil and leaves resting on more newspaper so they were not touching each other. I planted them today, Monday, and they look like they always have been part of my garden; healthy and beautiful. Thank you thank you!!!!

I just received my hostas I ordered to be delivered at the right time for my area... very pleased. The hostas came with small -med leaves on them (same size or larger as others just sprouting in my garden). They were carefully packed. The leaves were not smooshed or broken, as I have recieved them from other companies. I am very pleased with this company's customer service and selection. I could not find the kind of hosta's I wanted at my local store, so happy I can order quality hostas online.
