The last time I ordered from Wild's, and it's been a few years, everything I ordered was true to name. So maybe they've improved, or I was just lucky? However, I don't think they ship the same day they dig and may hold them in cold storage for awhile before they ship. This doesn't really hurt them, they'll still grow for you. But it does set them back. I've had some bloom the first year, but mostly they take a year or two to bloom in my climate. Also their shipping, though real reasonably priced is very slow. When I ordered last, they were using UPS ground, which was slow enough I thought they may be hiking the plants here. Needless to say, the plants look very dry and tired by the time they get here. Daylilies are tough though so they do survive. When they're selling plants for $2 or $3, all this might make it worth it. But anything more, I'd rather buy from a grower I know will send me fresh dug fans and ship them by the fastest means.
