I placed an order with Hazzard's 12/31 of 2009 so I can't vouch for the quality of their seeds. I ordered peony poppy, turtlehead & ladybells seeds. I also ordered ornamental grass seeds for a friend. Quite by accident I found out the ornamental grass isn't hardy in her zone. I emailed Hazzard's on Saturday, January 2 with a request to cancel the ornamental grass seeds part of my order. I got a confirmation email from Joyce Hazzard less than 10 minutes later indicating she would take care of it and make sure I was issued a refund. I'd call that excellent customer service. I'm going to WS the seeds and if you want to email me, I'll happily let you know how they do.

I also just recently (12/31) placed my first order from Hazzards, but only after checking the "other" site. There were no negative reviews for the company and some comments suggested their germination rates were very good on their seeds.

I decided to order some items from them that I REALLY wanted but did not find elsewhere like Kirengeshoma palmata and Rodgersia sambucifolia, so I am hoping this company is as good as their reviews.

I'll jump in as a person who has ordered and sown Hazzards seeds and was very pleased with the results! It was a couple of years ago and everything germinated just fine and grew well. I still get regular emials from them with sales and things, but I don't really buy many seeds now that I do so much seed saving and swapping! The few things I need to purchase, I usually get at a store.

Anyway, I think your in good hands with HAzzards.

Eileen, Rhonda and Nancy: Thanks for your advice and input. I'll place an order within the next day or two. I was impressed by Eileen's experience re: customer service.

I've ordered multiple times and I've always had good germination rates and Joyce has been very helpful. In fact, I ordered right at Christmas time and got my order very quickly. I would recommend them.

I placed a small order New Year's Eve and figured with the holiday I wouldn't see my order until the second week of January. Now I'm thinking it might be here tomorrow! Ordered white double peony poppies, adenophera and white turtlehead. I'll keep you posted. They have pages upon pages of impatiens/busy lizzie seeds.

Just wanted to post an update--received my seed order from Hazzard's today. The peony poppy and turtlehead envelopes appear to have the full quantity of seeds in them, however the adenophera/ladybells seed pack appears to have far fewer than the 250 quantity marked on the package. If I were to guess, I'd estimate there might be 50 or 100 seeds. I'm sharing them with another WSer. Fingers crossed they all sprout.
