Anyone ever order from here? The prices are too good to be true. Free shipping over $250 Canadian too! Their Itohs are a good deal (for Canadian delivery) so I'm considering it but was wondering about the quality of the roots.

I've never heard of them before, sorry can't help there. They say that their roots are 2-3 eye so probably wouldn't see blooms for a couple of years but flowers 1st spring don't happen every time for larger divisions, either.

It seems that plenty of old nurseries are closing down around Toronto, but there are plenty of new internet suppliers showing up. I found others as well in Ontario and will purchase from them in the future if the cultivars I want priced right. Did not use this one, though, Hiyamakki.

Thanks Alex. I've already got a tentative order in with Jardins Osiris. I might try a small order of Itohs with this place later in the year if they haven't sold out. Otherwise it will have to be next year.

I didn't think Osiris was shipping to the US this year, has your order been confirmed Hiyamakki?

I shop for two gardens; my own in Maryland and my parents' in Toronto. It's a great way to both grow more plants and bond with my parents!

Even for Canadian orders Jardins doesn't confirm until May. You just have a hold on your requested items until then. They don't ask for payment at this point though.

This is a first time peony catalogue from this vendor. I put in a small order when I saw them listed on the CPS website vendor section and I'll report back with some photos once I receive the divisions!
