I ordered a daylily for my mother for Mother's Day, and I received one fabulous healthy set of fans plus two bonus daylilies for me to keep. Score! With such beautiful unusual daylilies to choose from, generous bonuses, and great service, what's not to like? Another thumbs up for Blue Ridge. |

It is as good as my 1st order. No negatives. Fans are excellent size... good substance, clean; and, foliage is very green. The 11 superbly large fans are already planted... at home in their new beds ahead of heavy rains tonight and Friday! Shall be ordering my niece, El's birthday gift from this vendor. She is an avid gardener who shall appreciate the "Purple Wonders" offered by Mr. Selman and his crew. The difficulty shall be... what purple to select? Great thing is that the "purple" selections are tremendous. Her favorite color! This is a 5-Star Vendor. |

Those came as single fan bare roots and I'm not even sure they bloomed the first year. I decided that I 'needed' more daylilies but didn't want to go down that road again. I found the Lily Auction and Blue Ridge Daylilies was on there. Their selection is what initially attracted me to them and there was also a freebie deal if a certain amount was spent. They promptly answered all my questions as I am a DL newbie. I made my purchase and a couple days later they were shipped. I got an email saying they were dug and shipped same day. They arrived two days after that. I unwrapped them and the fans were HUGE!!! Great root systems too. I'm super happy with my purchase and can't wait to see them bloom next year! |

Even His Worker's are Really Nice Generous People and Incredibly Hard Working People as Well. Always Worth While Giving these Nice People Our Buisness. Even Bob's Mother was there and gave a friendly wave. Thanks Bob, Sandra and Michael. |

I only ordered 1 double fan of 2 different lilies and probably received 5 of each in addition to 2 other varieties as gifts. The fans were large and extremely healthy and in amazing shape. So happy with my purchase; will absolutely order again. |

The quality of the daylilies Mr. Selman shipped was very good and he was more then generous with gift plants. His usual method of sale is from the Daylily Auction, but since I don't participate in that format, I ordered straight from his list of plants. Overall a very nice first order experience and one I will repeat in the future. |

I am still in awe of how delightful my experience with this company is yet again. From the immediate communication to the prompt shipping; the great packaging of plants with them still moist and green; the size (HUGE) and vigor of the plants, to the generosity of the bonuses that are given.....there aren't enough adjectives to describe how PERFECT Blue Ridge Daylilies is. I order many, many daylilies and other plants (my husband would say FAR too many) so I know a great company when I find one. I would have to say that this is my #1 company of all-time for plants, and I have many that are favorites. I also want to brag that out of all the daylilies in my garden, the ones I ordered last year from Blue Ridge grew to be the biggest, the most robust, and produced the best bud counts. They far outshined all the others. In fact, in taking my daily walks around my garden I could immediately tell which plants came from Blue Ridge just by sight. They looked like they were on steroids. Whatever is in that soil in North Carolina must be magical to produce such magnificent plants....but they seem right at home here in New Hampshire too. I can't wait til next year so I can order some more. Bob sends the very best daylilies you will ever get....and he is wonderfully generous with bonuses too which is the icing on the cake! |

I had never ordered from Blue Ridge before and was totally impressed with the size of the fans I received. I ordered 3 daylilies and received 2 bonus daylilies of the same great size.

I ordered a couple of daylilies a few weeks back and when they showed up I could not believe the size and vigor of these fans. THEY WERE HUGE. Then, this last weekend, I saw two more they had that I had been searching for so I ordered them - figuring the first shipment was so awesome just to get some repeat business. Just got them today. Didn't think it was possible to get even bigger fans than the first time. INCREDIBLE!! And the gift plants were just as nice as the ones I ordered. Although this is the middle of October, the first ones that I planted at the beginning of October have already grown 9 inches!!!! I will definitely keep coming back. THANKS!!!!!!!! |

Bob Selman is very nice , friendly and helpful. I bought several plants on their ebay site. They were sent out very quickly and well packed Priority Mail. Great communication from start to finish. The plants are big and healthy and many fans larger than it said. They also included many gift plants!! The quality is great and so is the company. I highly recommend them. They have a wonderful selection and their prices are very reasonable. These are much newer introductions than Oakes carries. I am thrilled to receive such lovely daylilies which I was able to afford through Blue Ridge. Take a chance.....I am sure not sorry that I did!! |

These were absolutely the biggest and healthiest, and the best priced. Almost all had multiple fans per lily, and each fan was 2-4" in diameter. Huge selection, great prices, and a ton of bonuses included. They will be my first and only stop next year for daylilies. |

The owner couldn't be nicer and more helpful and knows the plants like the back of his hand. |

The plants arrivied packaged in well wraped newspaper and they were HUGE plants! Since it was a first order with them I only ordered one plant. I received a big double fan of Isle of Zanzibar. A free gift plant of Frier's Lantern (unexpected) had three big plants. The root systems on all plants were awsome! I will definately order from this company again and recommend them highly. |

These are by far the BEST daylilies I have ever had, all plants are healthy and doing amazing! I've only had them in the ground since the end of summer 2009 and they are giant mounds already! They are going crazy with blooms. I'm actually going to have to separate them this fall :) Just thrilled they arrived in great conditions with large roots all in tact. I have had bad luck in the past with mail order daylilies but not here with Blue Ridge. The plants and the people are a real pleasure! |

And I keep coming back, because the plants are *huge* with healthy & well-developed root systems. I always ask *not* to receive a bonus plant(s), since space & my color scheme are limited. How wonderful that they honor the request! What they do instead is send extra fans. I'd expected 3 cultivars with a total of 6 fans and today received 3 *clumps* with a total of 12 fans. What a great & generous company! : ) |
