Subject: MY ORDER
Just wanted to let you know that I received my order yesterday at noon, at which time I placed them into a tub with a light mixture of Miracle Gro, then planted them today. They were the best looking plants I have received to date. Very pleased with the short amount of time after placing my order that I received them, how the plants were packed, marked, and the size and how healthy they were. Hopefully I will be able to continue to buy from you in the future. Thank you. Sincerely,

Hi,
I'm returning to say a hearty thank you for the wonderful plants you sent me this spring. One of the three ordered from you
bloomed for me this season. I'm eager to see how it will perform next year and see the others for the first in my garden.
You gave me A-1 service right on schedule. Commendable! It was a joy doing business with you. Thanks alot!

Greetings Roycroft daylilies,
....I have enjoyed ordering from your gardens. There are a lot of growers out there, but you are one of my favorites. You conduct an honest business. Thanks for that.
We placed a sizable order this spring. Everything has thrived. Out of all the plants we put in our “Roycroft Garden”....
Well, I wish you well and will continue to follow you on your home page.
Good luck and God bless.
Your Friend,

Mr. Roycroft, just thought I'd let you know that I received the daylilies in great shape and actually ended up putting them in pots the very next morning. All appear to be doing great and have begun growing.
I didn't immediately plant them since we are having a deck and associated flower beds installed at the back of our home the end of this month. So, I thought the pot route would let them get started and get their root systems going well before we placed them in the new beds. And with the way they've taken off, I'm glad that I made the decision to go ahead and get them in the pots.
By the way, I have several neighbors to whom I have shown pictures of the blooms from the daylilies that I now have from you (printed off your web site). They are jealous. About all you see around here are the Stella de Oro daylilies. In fact, I have a couple of bronze bloomed daylilies at our front entrance that neighbors comment about and ask where I got them (both were planted in the bed when we purchased the home). So, I suspect they will really be blown away when we get the Roycroft daylilies blooming.
By the way, each fan of the Tyler's Cove hybrid (are these hybrids or varieties) is shooting up a bloom stalk with blooms forming on each. The little rascals barely have leaves coming out....
Thanks again for sending such healthy plants.

Just a note that the order arrived and was in good shape. We started a new bed and it only has your plants in it. We call it the Roycroft bed! We know we can depend on your plants and can’t wait for them to mature. God willing, we’ll be doing more business with you....
God Bless,

Roycroft sent beautiful, strong fans. More than I ordered. Plus gifts. They diligently tried to reach me to ask for a substitute for something that they had run out of. I love their selection and their customer service is grand. I'm not sure it gets any better than this.
The daylilies just arrived, and they look great. Thanks for the healthy plants and all the gifts.

Wanted to write and thank you for the outstanding plants I received from Roycroft. They were huge and healthy plants with well-developed rootstocks. Each one was properly labeled for easy identification. They were packed well and arrived in very good condition. And your customer service was great too. Each time I emailed a question, I received a prompt and courteous answer. I was extremely pleased with the quality, size and vigor of all the plants in my order. And the free gift plants included in my order was a wonderful and thoughtful addition. I wet the plant wrappings upon receipt and planted them the following day in the garden. They took off immediately and I'm very anxious to see the blooms. I'll be ordering from Roycroft again-- truly a company that prides itself on producing the best daylilies ! Thanks.

Dear Bob,
Please let me share a bit of wonderful news concerning your faithful and fabulous man, Andy. He spent quality time with me today as my husband and I traveled home to Wilmington from our daughter's place in Mt. Pleasant. I had stopped in at the beginning of the year and found him cleaning out beds and in general making the place pleasing to the eye and helping the daylilies perform their best. Then again I stopped by again and wow! I am very impressed with the way the place looked even at the end of the season. Nice work! It looks like your business is in good hands.
Of course, I have to purchase something each trip and I have been a good customer of yours over many years and will continue to come back. Andy was full of valuable information and quite generous in sharing it. You can tell he takes pride in the business.
Many thanks, Andy!

Thank goodness i have an irrigation system that I monitor closely, and hand water my gardens, too. This drought is becoming a nuisance!

Awesome customer service, gorgeous cultivars, and great sale. ....I'm going out of town and this order's ship date was moved up for me which was very kind and helpful. I love that bonus (gift) plants were included, which I think are mismarked (SEE BELOW FOR EXPLANATION NOTE) as I can't find reference to them, but no complaints here. I'm sure they will be a gorgeous surprise. There were 3 that I kept to see if I can try my hand at hybridizing, and I am hoping the pesky voles don't get to the roots. I just may have to get a cat.
On May 21st, 2010, ibewgirl edited to add, "I received a 2nd order in great shape and love the bonus (gift) plant."
(EXPLANATION NOTE FROM THE ROYCROFTS: The three gift plants were not mismarked. They were newer 2008-2009 introductions and were not shown in our last catalog, printed in 2007, but are shown on our 2010 web site. We notified ibewgirl of this so now she knows their identity, has seen photos, and has their descriptions.)

We now have over 200 different daylilies on our property. Your flowers, your service, and your willingness to talk to the customers Mr. Roycroft is what makes your nursery one of the best.
Also many thanks for the free daylily in our shipment. The Prince Charming's Dance was very unexpected and will be a delightly add to our gardens. I'm only considering what I can cross it with to play with that beautiful color.

The order was for a variety of daylilies for mother's day. Being as I live 3000 miles away from both your nursery and my mother, I put all my trust in what I saw on your website.
She just called to tell me that the plants are beautiful and healthy. She couldn't be happier nor could I. You now have 2 new customers who are looking forward to purchasing more daylilies from you in the future!
Thanks Again!

Subject: Tyler's Cove
….I received 'Tyler's Cove' from you in mid July. It had a clipped flower scape at that time. It grew very well and in late October began growing another flower scape. It opened its first bloom for me on November 20! It's still trying to flower, and has at least nineteen healthy buds. All its leaves have died back and I think I'll take pity on it soon -- maybe -- and cut back the flower stalk. Or maybe not... Depends on the weather, I guess….
I just wanted to let you know 'Tyler's Cove' seems to be rather pleased in its new home, which is USDA zone 8. Thanks for all the nice daylilies I've received from you over the last few years.

Hi, just wanted to let you know I received my order yesterday. Beautiful , healthy, clean plants. They are going in the ground today. And I have spent 2 hours looking at your catalog. I looked at a couple of other websites before I ordered from you. The reason I chose your site was because I could search easily for a particular color daylily. Every one is beautiful but I have a landscape plan in mind and want certain colors, so I was thrilled to find several purples that work with my plan and my budget.
….Thank you for great service and I am sure I will be ordering again soon!

The wrappings were still damp! Thank you so very much. We so much appreciate your friendliness and efficiency. We planted them in prepared soil as soon as they arrived and watered them very thoroughly.
We will be leaving for a long weekend in Barrie, Canada tomorrow. Our son will be stopping in to take care of our cat and the daylilies!

All of my yearly order has arrived safely today. They look very healthy and of good size. I appreciate your expertise in selecting what to send out to all that order from you.
I also appreciated the FedEx tracking number that you had e-mailed me 2 days ago so I could track the shipment. That really got me excited to look for them on my doorstep every time I drove up the past few days. That was an added bonus to know they were on their way and fantastic customer service.

Take care and have a very prosperous year at your Roycroft gardens.

I couldn't let the opportunity pass to thank you for the excellent service you provide to those of us far, far away from your location. I've just planted my second order from you and have again been very pleased and impressed with the quality of the plants you provided. It's a pleasure sharing your passion with you.

Got my plants yesterday. They were in good shape and are of super quality. Having been stung when ordering from new sources, it was a wonderful surprise to see plants that were above what I had expected. Will definitely order again!

Mr. Roycroft and Staff,
Visiting your display gardens is one of the highlights of our South Carolina vacation. We received our daylilies the day after our return to Ohio. They looked like you had just dug them the morning we received them.
Our two grandchildren helped us with the planting design. They cut the pictures of the ones we bought from the catalog and arranged and rearranged with the help of tape until they had the "perfect" combination of colors. Of course they each took a favorite home! What fun. Now we will enjoy this group of daylilies for more reasons than one.
When we returned home, we found that our Strawberry Candy was reblooming. We now have 32 of your plants to enjoy. There's always room for another daylily at our house.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next summer.

A "Garden Watchdog" report on Roycroft Daylily Nursery from Dave's Garden web site:
Wonderful!!! Last fall I purchased 25 of the healthiest daylilies that have produced, in abundance, the most incredible blooms this summer. I also received a very generous selection of BONUS plants. Everything, from their website to their careful packaging, quick shipment and quality of the plants, far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be making a second purchase from them for this fall.

Every daylily I've ever gotten from you has done exceedingly well. The three I bought last year are or have bloomed delightfully well this year. Thank you for such fine quality.

Bob,
I just want to thank you again for making all the suggestions for my yard and for the wonderful gifts of those very special daylilies. My garden is really taking shape with all the beautiful daylilies. We will be coming to the beach in July and I plan to visit and bring pictures to share......till then have a good summer.

Subject: Super Daylilies survived Katrina & Rita!!!
Mr. Bob,
Just a note to let you know that all those wonderful daylilies we carried back to Louisiana (All American Chief, Persian Ruby, etc) not only survived Katrina and Rita, but are head and shoulders above all the rest!
Thanks again for the tour last year and tell Cindy that I'm saving up my "mad" money for one of her Whoa Baby's. Have a great growing season and God Bless.

My new babies have arrived Thursday in great shape and very pleased of the extra fans on most all of them. Very healthy and good size. My extra ones you sent me were wonderful as I have requested more reds from you if possible. That was a nice surprise which will be enjoyed along with all my new doubles. They are all placed in my new bed and ready for their spectacular show later this year. Smiles to you and your folks from my lily gardens in Wilson NC.

Last year I became a Roycroft customer and while I was concerned about planting later in the growing season I am pleased to say all your plants have survived winter here in the western suburb of Boston. Cinderella's Dance and my bonus (gift) plant? were only covered with cut Christmas tree branches in mid January; Forsyth Golden Gift and Forsyth Pawnee had no protection at all.
I am especially pleased that all three fans of Cinderella's Dance have returned and are already several inches tall, and I so look forward to the first blooms of my newest daylily additions.
Thanking you for such nice, healthy, robust plants,

The parcel (178 daylilies) was delivered today in good order and I am very pleased - lovely fresh plants and generous extra's by way of some doubles and triples which I wasn't expecting. I am very pleased and shall certainly hope to place another similar sized order later on. All good wishes for a successful season.

A "Garden Watchdog" report on Roycroft Daylily Nursery from Dave's Garden web site:
"The plants I ordered arrived quickly and had root systems that were very large and healthy-looking. In addition, one costly plant I ordered was upgraded to a double fan, and the bonus plant I received was a beautiful cultivar of greater value than two of the others I ordered. An overall good experience with Roycroft; I would be happy to buy from them again."

...Tar and Feather arrived 10:00 a.m. this morning, Thursday. I opened the box immediately and was surprised to see a bundle of two. You are very kind to do this. It is a very big "gift". Thank you for such healthy and beautiful foliage too. It is a cool day here so will put it in the soil right away.
Happy gardening in Georgetown!

I HAD BOUGHT PLANTS FROM ANOTHER NURSERY LAST YEAR WHICH CLAIMS THEY SEND OUT BIGGER PLANTS BUT YOURS ARE OUTDOING THEM. I'LL BE ORDERING YOURS AGAIN NEXT YEAR. THANKS FOR GREAT PLANTS

Excellent customer service!! In December, I placed my order and requested late March shipping. In late February, I e-mailed Roycroft asking them to ship my order earlier. Bob Roycroft replied next day and promised to ship my order on March 8. They shipped my plants on the exact date they promised, and the plants arrived in good condition. All the plants were large and had healthy roots. I also received two large bonus plants. Roycroft probably has the best online catalog, and you can order online from anywhere in the world. I highly recommend this company to daylily fanciers from all around the world.

I found your firm on the internet last summer while searching for companies selling daylilies. I ordered one of your catalogs and later placed two orders totaling about 50 plants. On one order I requested a specific shipping date and on the other one I marked it ship ?ASAP?. The first order was shipped on the exact date I requested, and the second was shipped the next day after I faxed in the order. I have ordered daylilies from several companies but wanted to make a few observations as a customer. First, I was amazed at the size and quality of your plants and the fact they were individually wrapped in newspaper. Secondly, I commend your shipping department for such excellent service. It is so rare to find a company that sells quality products and also has good customer service. I am enclosing a new daylily order and plan to buy most of my plants from your firm in the future. I regret that I do not live close enough to personally visit your nursery.

I would like to say that I have been a customer of Roycroft Daylily Nursery for about 4-5 years now. My husband and I make regular Spring and Summer visits to their nursery from upstate South Carolina.
We are always overwhelmed at the beauty of this place. We have bought MANY daylilies from them, and may I say, we have never had a problem from any of them. As a matter of fact, everything that we have purchased from them verses another area Daylily Nursery have always seemed to out-perform the competitor. Maybe it's just me, or I'm being extremely partial to Roycrofts.
Whatever the case, we absolutely love the place. It like a little peace of heaven on earth.
Keep up the beautiful work! Forever a devoted customer,

I received my new 2005 catalog today. I just wanted to say it is FANtastic ! I am new to this forum and have only been growing Daylilies for 2 full seasons. I wanted you to know your catalog, has been a guideline to me since I started collecting Daylilies. Thanks for the inspiration.

I received my large order of 200 plants from you which I planted on Mothers day. I just want to tell you the stock was the best I have ever seen. All plants are growing very well and have had many bloom already this year. I can't wait until next year. Just wanted to thank you for the high quality plants. I authorize you to use me for any references you need.

An absolutely excellent experience! My order of three single fan daylilies arrived on time in perfect condition. The plants were extraordinarily healthy, and the "single fan" seemed to be at least two on each of the three daylilies.
I also appreciated the free plant stake name tags included with my order. Roycroft has excellent prices, an unbeatable selection and, most importantly, healthy plants. I couldn't ask for more and I couldn't be more pleased. :)
Hi John
Everything appears to be in order and healthy looking! Potted them up for a head start in the green house last night. Thank you very much.

To Whom It May Concern:
I recently received a large (for me) daylily shipment from you and was very pleased with the size and quality of the plants. Even though I have a small Gardening services business in my area, these plants are to add to my own gardens as I have become addicted.
Frankly, your competitors can not match you for the quality of plants you provide nor the selection! Recently, I confess to buying a few plants from (name removed) and I will never buy from them again! There is no comparison.

Hello!
This year, I ordered three daylilies from Roycroft. Olympic Showcase, Strutter's Ball, and Love Those Eyes. They are all performing very well, producing large, well shaped blooms. I am very pleased. This year I ordered from several daylilies vendors. The Roycroft stock was the largest, cleanest and healthiest looking stock that I received. Looking forward to doing business with you in the future.
Thanks again,

My kids started sending me your daylilies in June 2002. Yesterday I received 7 more and now have 27. The plants of 2002 are big and strong each growing multiple fans. Coincidently, I had purchased some daylilies from another reputable nursery in 2002. I still have them in pots as they are not big enough to plant anywhere but in the nursery garden. You may have guessed that after such success with Roycroft there will never be room in my garden for anything but Roycroft. Thanks.

Dear John,
The daylilies arrived in Belgium this Monday (11.00 am). They seemed in good condition and I put them immediately in the ground.
The bad surprise was the import cost and tax (81,00 € = 95,00 US $!). The good surprise was the gift: two pretty daylilies and your beautiful catalogue! I'm shure I'll enjoy the flowers next year and I'll send you a new order.
Thank you for your very good service ... and I hope you'll excuse my poor English language!

I wanted to let you guys know that my Dad and I ordered daylilies from you and we both love them, much to my regret my Dad died recently. But one of his greatest pleasures was seeing the daylilies we ordered from you guys bloom. We had intended on selling them but he was sick off and on and we never did and now I have them and love each and every one and there is no way I could part with them and I do plan on ordering more and making a memorial garden with them for my dad and expanding the memorial garden .

John, Thank you for offering us the web gift. You have so many beautiful new lilies. We currently have around 500 daylilies in our gardens. We are starting to have many people come out to look around and they are also getting "hooked" on daylilies.

Your plants are of excellent quality, clearly and perfectly packed. I'm sure that next year every plant will be blooming.

Of the 17 daylilies (including two free gifts) I received from you the first week in May, nearly 65% bloomed in July! I could hardly believe it! I figured maybe 2 or 3 would bloom the first year, if I was lucky. And, now, one of them is reblooming in mid August. I can hardly wait for your new catalog next year, so I can order more! Thanks.

… Belle Island Sentry…This year…first bloomed on May 31st... it beat out all other daylilies…by 3 weeks…still blooming one month later…has numerous buds…. Six to seven weeks of bloom is most remarkable in Columbus, OH….daylilies attract people from all over… community who…stop and chat. Walkers have been coming through the yard reading labels…. We've met more people in the last two years than in the 25 years we have lived here…. the whole garden is God's Blessing. We are "Brightening the Corner Where We Are" with your daylilies and it sure makes it easy to get up in the morning. We'll be down in SC in September and hope to see you then.
