Very good-sized roots and always true to name. I have also visited the farm in the spring when the peonies and iris are blooming and they are very friendly people. |

Unfortunately, a couple of peonies didn't make it through the first winter. As we gardeners know, this can happen. But - when I sent them an email I was amazed by the immediate sympathetic response and the offer to replace the plants free of charge! And that is free of ANY charge - shipping, phytosanitary certificate, etc. This is well above and beyond and I am really impressed. This is an excellent company that obviously cares deeply about what they do. They provide excellent plants and unwavering support to their customers. Of which I will be one for life! |

They were larger than any I'd previously ordered from other companies. Not only were they well packaged but clearly VERY fresh! Two of them had 5 eyes and one had 6. I was thrilled and am very much looking forward to seeing them in the coming years! |

I expected to receive them by fall, and sure enough they came, what I didn't expect was the size and quality of the roots I received. I order by mail quite often and these were the best roots I have ever received by any company. It is no wonder they took the best in show prize with "Bob" this year. I was so happy that I ordered a couple more times before the season was over and when I received the new roots, I was very impressed. I will always buy from Brooks, they made a customer for life! |

My two yellow peonies that I ordered a couple years or so ago (please see earlier comments from back then) are huge monster plants now. Tall, wide, bushy and lots of flower buds on both this year. Love them!!! I have a new bed in my back yard so I will be shopping at Brooks Gardens again for more peonies. |

I wrote to them after I received an email acknowledging the purchase and giving me a ship date of the last week in September. I Live in zone 5 and wanted to receive them as soon as possible so I could plant in time for them to establish a good root system. I wrote and asked if I could pay more to have them shipped two day air and I received a response within an hour or two saying I didn't need to pay more. They would dig and ship to me so I would receive on Saturday. And I received them today! Great service and communication. On June 11th, 2009, farmkitty added the following: I am updating my experience with the peony I purchased from Brooks Gardens last fall (2008). It flowered this first year!! IT has beautiful, true yellow flowers (3 this year). It's an Itoh peony (Bartzella). If there's a way to post a picture, I will. I notice on their website today that they aren't selling this one this year. I also bought a parairie moon from them last year and it got multiple flowers, pale yellow. It cost 1/4 of the the price of the Bartzella and it is still available this year. |
