Comments regarding Abundant Daylilies

Bad experience with Daylily.com. Be very careful buying from Mark Sattlelmeir (Abundantdaylilies). Made a large purchase, some mis-marked, some have false descriptions; ignores complaint, then block you from further communications. Reporting the same Complaints to Daylily.com results in Mike Longo, Daylily.com administrator---who is a friend of Mark--results in blocking you from the website. Frustrating. Beware of the duplicity.

I was very disappointed when the two daylilies I ordered arrived. Both were quite small and were put, just bare root, into two paper bags. When I opened up the bag they were dried out and half dead. Daylilies are tough plants and I am hoping they will survive but if they had just put a little more effort into the packaging, I think they would have done much better. I don't feel I got my money's worth.

I ordered about 2 dozen daylilies from this company about a year and a half ago. Never, in more than 10 years of ordering plants by mail, have I received such poor plants in such abysmal packaging. They were all very small single fans with dessicated roots and many had dessicated foliage. The plants (4 varieties, 6 plants of each) had simply been stuffed into individual paper bags which were then stapled shut and the cultivar name written on the bag in black marker. The bags were put into a Priority Mail cube box just as is, and mailed. Their charge for this pathetic packing and shipping was more than double what the postage actually cost; I wouldn't have minded if the plants had been in decent condition rather than half-dead. Their prices were very reasonable and now I know why ("you get what you pay for" principle). I would never recommend or re-order from this vendor.

Sorry i do not know who you are. We sell double fan plants. You have never contacted us as if you would have we would have shipped you new plants. when you get your order on our instructions it says contact us if you are not satisfied with your order. We would have replaced it as we want are customers happy.
If you ordered from us but on here you put you ordered a year and a half ago this would be about 3 years ago from today and i could find no records from the New York City you are from.
