I am disappointed with my experience with this company. I purchased six peonies, and three of them are dead. The company offered to have me wait until next season for a replacement or refund, but any experienced gardener knows that a plant that has died this season will not come back next year.
I expected the company to stand behind the quality of its products and resolve the issue now, not ask me to wait another year. I hope they reconsider how they handle legitimate customer concerns so other customers do not have the same experience.

Blooming Bulb is Exceptional
Blooming Bulb provided an exceptional shopping experience, making it my top recommendation for online peony vendors. This year, I decided to expand my peony garden and ordered tubers from two online sellers. However, Blooming Bulb emerged as the superior choice.
I purchased a total of 35 peony tubers from both vendors, with 24 from Blooming Bulb and 11 from the other. Remarkably, 22 out of the 24 tubers from Blooming Bulb sprouted successfully. When I reached out to Blooming Bulb’s customer service, they promptly shipped two replacement tubers to me. To my delight, the replacement tubers also sprouted!
In contrast, my experience with the other online vendor was quite disappointing. Only 4 out of the 11 tubers sprouted, and while 7 were replaced, it took 3-4 weeks for the replacements to arrive. The tubers from the other vendor were small and weak, and the sprouts that did sprout were fragile and some currently appear to be dying, even on the replacement tubers.
To ensure consistency, I planted all the tubers from both vendors in the same area using the same approach. The tubers from Blooming Bulb were healthy and produced healthy peony plants. I am hopeful that some of the Blooming Bulb peonies will bloom next year.
Overall, I highly recommend Blooming Bulb if you’re looking for peonies, but plan to buy them early in the planting season. Unfortunately, I was disappointed that three peonies I wanted to buy were sold out by Blooming Bulb.
