One Iris was missing, and after I e-mailed them, they promised to ship it ASAP. Few days later it came in by FedEx, and they also included a nice Daylily as a gift, which is greatly appreciated. |

I got my order of last week today and I could not be more pleased. BIG, FAT rootstocks with greenery. ABSOLUTELY LUSCIOUS PLANTS!!! I ordered 27 plants and the smallest and wimpiest of them still completely exceeded my hopes! I ordered from them last year, too... but have been unable to locate my review... Those plants are doing very, very well here in daylily central, San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. BTW: The freebie bonus plant they sent me "Across The Miles" is a MONSTER. MOST of these plants I received today ARE MONSTERS! I am so impressed and happy with this order! Thank You, GHW&S! I will be playing in the dirt next week, planting these! P.S BEAUTIFULLY PACKED BY NICOLE! |

When she call to complain she said they were 1 and 1/2 eyes, any grower would tell you there is no such thing as a 1/2 eye! |

I appreciate the careful packaging and the extra free plant that is usually included with daylily orders. I'm mystified by the negative comments. I've talked to customer service reps for ordering information and have never encountered an unfriendly person. |

I've also always received bonus plants from them in every order. Further, my most recent order of daylilies, peony Red Charm, and their entire lily collection arrived in excellent shape, and the daylilies that were planted have already put on some good growth. The majority of my daylilies, irises, and peonies are from this company, and I've been very pleased how well they've all done over the years. |

The iris fans were not the biggest, but they really looked healthy and I already have one in bloom. Also, they arrived well packaged. Keep up the good work and many thanks |

Also, I'm placing another order. Thanks |

The bulbs were huge..obviousely over 5 years old and he even left all of the baby iris still attached to the mother rhizome so ended up getting like double the amount of iris I ordered as a bonus. would definitely do business with again. |

These people have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have been lied to three times by this company. The pants arrived late and in poor condition--very poor. I planted them to see if they'd make it and called the company to let them know. They person I talked to could not have cared less. I also mentioned that they had not sent two of the plants I ordered. She said they don't have the peonies anymore even though it was a new catalog. I said I wish you'd told me that when I placed the order and she said she would have if I'd actually ordered them. The next catalog I received still offered peonies for sale even though they'd been 'out for a long time.' I called back within two weeks to let them know half of the plants they sent had died. She said it would take a month to credit my charge card back. Two month laters, I called because I still had not received my refund. She said I obviously don't listen very well because they never return money, only give you a credit to use on more plants and the credit was only for $15 instead of for half of the plants that died. |

| Neutral | ZippyPinHed (3 reviews) | On Jun 28, 2011, ZippyPinHed Oak Ridge, NJ wrote: Posted on June 6, 2011, updated June 28, 2011 On June 6th, 2011, ZippyPinHed added the following: I was so upset I reversed designations, the following is the corrected full version that I resent, still "negative": I placed 2 orders that included 4 iris, Feedback, Harvest of Memories, World Premier, Blackout I planted all of them together, one of the 4 is missing - I am guessing that it was the yellow ‘Harvest of Memories’. All were planted in the same manner as I've planted all my iris for the past 20 years. Of the 3 that survived, the only one I can say actually comes close to matching it's descriptor is ‘World Premier’. The other 2 iris are PURPLE - not blue or with "blue falls". What I believe is "Blackout" is a deep royal purple – not as dark as the images you showed online. No one could misconstrue this color to have blue in any way. Feedback is a medium purple, the color closely related to what you called "blue-violet" on 'World Premier'. Whereas I was expecting that bit of purple in ‘World Premier’, and Blackout, Feedback was supposed to be blue, I had no idea I was purchasing purple iris. I am very disappointed by your descriptors. As a medical illustrator I have a very fine grasp of color. You should rethink your representations of the above, at least use a camera that has the capability to color correct your photos, or maybe send the right plants to match the descriptors. Which of these would actually correct the problem is beyond me at this time. Below is a picture of what should have been mostly BLUE iris. (pic not shown) I am particularly disgusted by the “Feedback” in the foreground that is obviously a lighter tone of what you described as “blue-violet” on ‘World Premier’. I would be happy to return all of these iris. Please let me know how to proceed. //www.iriscitygardens.com/images/tallbearded/blackout.jpg Here is a much better image of Blackout, if I had seen this first I never would have purchased it. Of the 4 peonies, 3 survived and one of those 3 is not blooming at all, of the 2 that are blooming, one is WHITE, it is ALL WHITE. I know that I did not order an all white peony. I don’t know about the other peony because it is not blooming. However, this does not begin to annoy me as much as the iris. I await the blooming of the daylilies with great trepidation. On June 28th, 2011, ZippyPinHed changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following: Mr. Jones did contact me and credited my account for a portion of what I had paid. As I told him, I posted on this site immediately after emailing him. When I read the dismal customer service reviews previously made, coupled with waiting a year (my first of 2 orders having been made in May of 2010) only to find that the iris I had ordered was absolutely not what I had ordered, I decided to post thinking nothing would probably come of the customer service email sent. I was very angry, and I did not put much time in between my email to his company and my posting which was a cut/paste of the email sent. This does not change the fact that I received the wrong plants, nor that I am still dreading what the 11 different varieties of daylilies will look like when they finally do bloom. The reason I am changing my rating to neutral is because Mr. Jones did not allow this matter to fall by the wayside, he called twice and followed-up with numerous emails even though he was clearly upset by my posting. He also told me that the 2 long time employees were removed who had been responsible for the problems customers had been experiencing in regards to his company. Although I will certainly not order from his company in the future I wish him no ill will and hope that all who do order benefit from his vigilance in attending to this matter.

All arrived in very healthy condition with huge root systems and most of the daylilies have quite a few buds and the bleeding hearts are rapidly growing and flowering as well.

I have ordered from this company in the past and have always been pleased with the quality of the plants that I have ordered and appreciate the free gift. :) that is always sent with the order. They offer a large variety of daylilies, hostas and peonies at reasonable prices and reasonable shipping costs and the plants are always well packaged and arrive in great condition. |

My Grandmother in the past ordered "Raspberry Sundae" peony, after anxiously waiting for it to bloom, it was a plain white. I ordered two seasons ago, a large oriental lily order and an individual blue and white bicolor - white capped waves - iris. Last year it did not bloom but this year I anxiously waited to see it, as the healthy blooms were huge - but today I find out its a solid purple/red tint. Not even close, and the white capped waves tag is still wrapped around the rhizhome so I am positive they were wrong once again. I called, and the woman said I need to call the first year, (how would I know, it didn't bloom) and she said it should have, as if it my fault. I have huge gorgeous iris gardens, obviously I know how to plant them, and if a rhizhome is not large enough they don't even bloom so for her to act like it was my fault for not letting them know last year. It bloomed healthily this year, so I know how to grow them, but nevertheless, its the wrong color, I did not care to buy another purple variety. She was professional enough to give a credit of 3.50 , even though it would be fair to send me what I wanted (she said they are sold out). I need to spend $60 as of now to avoid shipping, and considering I will get whatever they send, verses what I want, why bother. Shipping on one rhizhome isn't worth it. I wanted to share my experience so others know, not to count on receiving what you want you order, and if the small root/rhizhome doesn't bloom (its our fault). |

I am very pleased with what I got. I ordered 3 different peonies, 4 different kinds of daylilies and some bee balm. Every thing came nicely packed--and with all recyclable packing material except for the plastic bags around the roots of things-- the daylilies are all a good size and the peony tubers are miuch larger and healthier than ones I have gotten from other places. The bee balm are also good sized plugs--though they definitely needed to be put in pots immediately--these plants are not packed so that they can sit for long in the box. For the price I paid, this was a very good value for the money. I look forward to seeing them bloom in my garden! |

I am very pleased with all I have received. ALWAYS multiple fans and arrive healthy. Different daylilies multiply faster than others and fan size is variable with each type...all varieties grow at different rates & sizes. For the price, you cannot beat them anywhere. The plants multiply every year and living in Missouri, we have extreme weather conditions both summer & winter. In 2010, I harvested 12-14 proliferations and 98% came back in 2011. MORE plants for me. I have purchased from other so called "nurseries" for 5-6 times the price and have only received 1 puny fan which never survived. I don’t know where you can buy a multiply fan daylily for $3-4 and have the success rate which Gilbert Wild plants offer...plus the wide variety one has to choose from. Shipping is timely and very reasonable even having to pay Missouri sales tax and with the free shipping bonus in 2011...it can’t be beat. All I can say is as long as this company continues to offer as they do, I will continue to buy...don’t tell my husband, he thinks Fed X is just “turning around” in our driveway. I guess it’s like ole Abe said about “pleasing all of the people”...I AM PLEASED! |

Together we ordered about 20 daylilies. They all arrived in good shape and have all started pop up this spring (only March in zone 5, so just beginning). I don't think I lost even one over the winter, even with planting them in late fall. In february, I placed another order (with free shipping, which is awesome!), which was confirmed with an email and is supposed to be shipped in April. Yesterday, after browsing their Spring surplus sale, I found a few more I wanted, so I emailed the company, and they said they'd be glad to add them to my original order. What great customer service! I am looking forward to recieving my order in April, and I have no doubt that I will NOT be disappointed! |

I contacted customer and they sent out the correct hosta to me right away. The daylily (the only one that was ever too small) was sold out and couldn't be replaced, so they gave me a credit for my next order. Customer service has always been top notch in my opinion. This is the only company that I buy daylilies and hostas from because they have such a great product and service. |

Gilbert H Wild has many beautiful daylilies to choose from and their prices are very reasonable (which is important to those of us on tight budgets). While the prices are low, the quality of the plants is high. I have always received healthy stock which was shipped in a sturdy box so they arrived in good condition as well. Unlike some other companies, Gilbert H Wild does not try to gouge you on shipping charges but still packs and ships your order with care. Because of the lousy weather we had in our area last year I resorted to planting my new daylilies in large pots instead of trying to plant them in the ground. They started to bloom by mid to late summer and all were exactly what I had ordered. By the time fall arrived I planted them in the garden and all had grown very strong healthy root systems while they were in their pots. I recommend giving Gilbert H Wild a try! |

One had two fans that when put together they didn't even make one good sized fan. I seriously doubt any will bloom next year. I am extremely disappointed in this company. I did not call to complain as I have read the negative complaints on here and see that the customer service is terrible and it's hard to get anywhere with them. I WILL NOT order from them again. |

In total 29 lilies only 5 sprouted puny stems this summer. Emailed the company about the problems I was having and got a reply asking me to dig them up and to tell them what they looked like. I've never been told to dig up plants before to get a replacement from any other company I've bought from in the past and I've been gardening and ordering online for several years now. So I already knew they were going to be difficult to deal with. I dug the bulbs up and found the basal plate rotting and scales falling off in my hands. I emailed them what I had found and they automatically assumed I overwatered them and that the area was too moist. They were planted in a raised bed therefore drainage is not a problem. I would also like to add that other bulbs I purchased online and planted 2 feet away in the same bed grew just fine. Several problems can cause lilies to rot and not grow. Some are the gardener's fault and sometimes they aren't. They decided to issue me a $10 credit on an additional order for my $35 in lilies. I won't use the credit cause I feel that in some way the bulbs I recieved were diseased since others I planted thrived. Despite my success with the Handful of Hosta's I ordered from them I will NEVER order from them again. I was also reminded of their guarantee in the reply email says that they only have a 30 day guarantee. My fault for not noticing that before I ordered. These lilies were planted in the fall for a following summer bloom. The guarantee is completely expired before you can even tell how they will grow the following year. 30 day guarantee???? How stupid!! Buyer Beware when ordering fall plantings!! So I changed my rating from Positive to Negative because of them automatically assuming the problem was my fault and for their 30 day guarantee policy. Most other companies offer a year warranty or lifetime warranty. I mean come on even Lowe's has a 1 year guarantee. So my bad for not seeing that before I ordered cause I wouldn't have ordered. |

I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life. Then it was Fed Ex fault. They had the wrong zip code. BLAH BLAH BLAH. So finally she said that she would send out a third order and this would be the last one because, Did I have any idea how much money this was costing them. I was really mad by this time. That woman was the rudest B*@##@ that I have ever spoken to on the phone. The next day I called Fed Ex to see what they had to say. They were given the wrong zip code from GHW. I asked if I could straighten this out with them. They said no, that I had to go through GHW. So, I called GHW back and asked them to repeat my zip code back to me and they had the wrong one. By this time I was BEYOND MAD, so I cancelled. Not that I would have gotten the third order any ways. God only knows where that one would have ended up. Screwing up once is acceptable. But, twice! And to be so rude about it, to blame it on everyone else but themselves. They have lost a lot of customers with this incident. |
