Comments regarding LilyBLOOMS Aquatic Gardens

I have read that LilyBlooms is affiliated with Pond Plants Direct (which I have gone through and wasn't very happy with) but I just received my order today and I wanted to leave feedback. The plants arrived here healthy and robust, and were of good specimen. I did get an email tracking the shipment also, which was great. The only thing I have to say I was disappointed by was that I ordered on April 5th and when I didnt get an email or the plants almost 2 weeks later, I finally emailed the company. I received a reply shortly after (which I appreciated) saying they still had my order and it was scheduled to ship out the 20th or 28th (weather permitting) and if I wanted it shipped earlier, they would send it right away but it would void the plant gurantee. I said I would like it sent right away. I was surprised when he told me that, so I searched their catalogue and website looking for any information stating that they shipped plants at certain times due to weather, but found none. That was my only "complaint" if I had one- they should probably state somewhere that plants aren't always shipped after purchase. I can see not sending them in winter, but by April, I would have thought it was safe to ship, and I was disappointed to have to wait till almost May.

I just discovered LilyBlooms this year. I only have a small container water garden. I ordered a hardy dwarf water lily back in early April asking for a mid-May delivery. Bob didn't see the request to send it mid-May, so it arrived within two days of ordering. You can imagine how surprised I was. I emailed him and he apologized for missing the date to send. He said he'd send another at the proper time, and he did. I was thrilled with the plant.

I ordered all my water garden plants from LilyBlooms, and they all arrived today in perfect shape. They were in 2" pots, but the web site clearly says they'll be shipped that way, so I expected it. All the plants look extremely healthy. I'll transplant them all tomorrow, and report back at the end of the season. So far I'm happy with them, and I'll order again.

Plant was smaller than I expected....BUT, it was shipped incredibly fast, was very healthy and was packaged very well.

Also received a phone call stating that it would be shipped right away, so I'd know to expect it - I feel that's great service.

I've had the variegated Cyperus alternifolius for two weeks, and it has suffered NO shock whatsoever. It even has new growth appearing.
I had been diligently searching for this to no avail until I found LilyBlooms.

I'm very pleased.

I am happy with my order from LilyBlooms. I ordered the following:

Floating hearts- nice plant for the price
Water clover- nice for the price
Aquatic Mint- very large well established plant
Azolla- nice amount- mixed with alot of duckweed
Water Poppy- Another nice size plant with buds
Horsetail rush- decent size
Sensitive plant- kind of puny for the cost
Cardinal flower- another nice size plant

Shipping was very fast, and I would be inclined to order again. Plants were also packed well.

I ordered from Lilyblooms in 1999 and was well pleased. I'll be a return customer. Plants and products were good quality.
