My first daylily order ever was from G. Wilds and it was made up of small plants, but it was very early in the year. The roots were pretty well established, but the plants themselves had not had much time to develop. By the end of the year most of them had bloomed, and the price was really cheap, so I didn't mind. I actually enjoyed growing the plants to blooming size. Being the plants were so short, it would be hard to describe the diameter of them, but none were what I would consider to be as small as a toothpick. It is easy to see how you can save by buying small plants, the shipping alone is a real money saver on such small plants. So communication is the key,if you know your are getting small plants to be grown on to blooming size that is OK, but if they lead you to believe they are going to be blooming size plants when you receive them that is a little different. So my question is what exactly is meant by "Blooming sized" plants? The best I can tell it refers to plants that will reach blooming size by the end of the season...opinions?
Here is one of my tiny plants that grew and bloomed by Summer.
