I just received my first order from Maryott's and I could not be more impressed!! Although I have read many stellar reviews for Maryott's Gardens, I was still not prepared for the overwhelming generosity that they show to their customers. I ordered 9 cultivars (12 plants as 3 were bogos) and received 21 daylilies total. The "smallest" daylily is a large triple fan and the largest daylily is an actual 10-12 fan clump!! As if this is not already generous enough, Mr. Maryott also added 9 additional gift/bonus plants to my order - most of which are 2011 and 2012 introductions - absolutely stunning cultivars. Maryott's Gardens is truly incredible and I will definitely order from them again in the future.

Wow, my first experience ordering from Maryott's. I started this order back on July 22 when I goggled Bela Sara hoping to find a good price. I found Maryott's and a good price. I kept adding to the order and ended up with 37 daylilies. I had four orders all together and was about to put in a fifth one and realized I had run up a big bill and asked if he would give me anything on list #5 as a bonus, I read them off and he said you get them all as a bonus. The list totaled 96.00 and I got three of the weekly specials worth 230.00 plus he tossed in a few more, including two brand new introductions, selling for 100.00 each. These are excellent daylilies with good budding and branching! So when I got my order I had 15 bonuses all together! These Daylilies are all huge big double fans and triple fans. Nothing small, even the free ones are huge.
I really loved my Maryott experience, I love the website and browsing there. I enjoyed talking to Bill on the phone and the emails from Marilyn. The communication was great and the order was perfect in every way. I could not have asked for more. Bill Maryott is very generous and very meticulous, he did not miss one word I said. Everything I asked for was there. :))
Amazing attention to detail, Great packing, Great Company!!

I think this is probably the best experience I've had ordering daylilies through the mail. The shipping is a little scary, and the plant that I've been drooling over for the last year isn't the cheapest one out there. The combination of the two (shipping and the cost of the plant) kept me from ordering right away, but then the weekly specials started, and I really thought I'd like the plant being offered... I read some reviews and knowing the weekly special would change soon, I placed my order.
I received a confirmation email and the plants were shipped on the agreed upon date. When the box came it was like getting a Christmas present. :) I ordered one plant and expected to get the weekly special, and a bonus plant. What I got was 5 plants and 16 fans!! Every one of the plants sent were 3 fans, and the one I ordered was 4. The plants were planted 6 days ago and have new growth (anywhere from about an inch to a little over 3 inches). - The gift plants were off my suggested list of bonus plants, so they were ones that I was already considering buying.
I can't recommend this company enough, only just remember if you order, you might get more than you bargained for. ;)

Third year ordering and I would not recommend any other daylily site. The fans are always healthy and the bonuses are more than generous. I tell everyone who admire my daylilies that this is the place to go. If you are worried about ordering plants without being able to see them first, do not worry when you order from this company! Great to deal with.

I had my first contact with Bill Maryott some years ago when he answered some questions for me about the prices of new daylilies, vs the price of irises, (which he used to hybridize). He spent a lot of time formulating the answer.
So, I had received some daylilies in a trade that were the old washed out lilacs and wanted to replace them. I looked to Maryotts.
I had a good size area to fill and went for the BOGO (buy one get one free) ones. I got Russian Temple, Set my Soul Afire, and Fashion Police. I got two of all those and an extra Fashion Police. AND bonuses of Bogota (100.00!)and 3 Exotic Design (42.00! each)!!!!!!
I had sent Mr. Maryott an email saying as I had purchased BOGOs I did not expect extras, but if he was to include an extra I was doing an orangish area. He sent back an email saying he thought he could find something that would fit the bill. Did he ever.
Above and beyond, Mr. Maryott, above and beyond!
And of course, all the divisions were huge and healthy.
Please, please, purchase from Maryotts, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic!
I took advantage of a few BOGO offers, and ordered some other daylilies to fit groupings I was working on. The plants were huge, clean, healthy and wonderfully packed. The Maryott's are remarkably generous and offer great service.

Now 2008 and I'm watching the buds form on the Maryotts daylilies that I purchased in 2007. I purchased the collection of 30 varieties, along with another dozen Maryotts, received late June 2007, potted immediately, transplanted 60% to the new bed I finally readied in the fall. 40% wintered over in 5 gal pots in the non-heated garage, survived, and this past 2008 Memorial Day weekend, I finally finished planting all of my 2007 Maryotts. Those planted in fall 2007 are beginning to bud. Those that overwintered in pots, most became rootbound, appear as happy as the planted.
I'm in zone 5 and now consider this a successful experiment, intend to buy another collection of Maryotts, and am anxious for this year's blooms.
Oh, the shipped fan size is large, often more than just 2 fans.

This is one very impressive company. I just received my first order from Maryott's Gardens yesterday. When I opened the box, I was beyond thrilled by the big, healthy, generously-sized plants. The promotional plant was wonderful. And, yes, somebody at Maryott's does seem to know which bonus I really wanted and sent that one as a free gift.
Using the web site is easy. E mails were answered in a timely and friendly way. The transaction the flawless. I could not have asked for more. Maryott's knows what customers want and delivers even more!
Thanks for an exceptional job.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I also think Maryott's Gardens deserves a 20. They are that good at every aspect of doing business.
Maryott's has great customer service and customer relations. They answer e mails personally and personably. They grow and sell excellent plants at reasonable prices, with enticing promotional plants, BOGO offers and a nice bonus.
I do find the postage costs a little daunting, but cost of shipping for 2 different orders last year exceeded by a couple dollars what I was charged. They send such hefty divisions.
If you like daylilies a lot or even a little, don't miss out on the Maryott's experince. I just recently placed my 4th order with them after 3 wonderful orders.
Thanks Bill and Marilyn, you really are the best of the best! On September 11th, 2011, Adaylilyfan added the following:
Last week, I received an exceptionally high quality box of daylilies from Maryott's Garden that yet again surpassed my expectations. It is such a pleasure purchasing from people who do everything just right from start to finish. They always treat their family of customers like they want them to order again (85 % of us do).
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I really can't say thanks enough. On September 26th, 2011, Adaylilyfan added the following:
Bill Maryott is a bloomin genius. One of my plants from my Sept. '11 order shot up a scape the first week it was in the ground and opened a beautiful, perfect flower last Friday. I don't know how they do it, but if it is some sort of fairy dust, he should market it.
I placed another order. I received it last week. I am sooo happy and pleased. Great, healthy plants and very generous bonuses.
I received my first order from Maryott's this week. After reading the comments here and at GW I placed an order. I was still surprised by the size and the amount of gifts that I received. I would purchase from them again.

Just placed my 5th order this season with Maryott's because of excellent customer service, huge fans, more than generous bonuses and best prices. Marilyn and Bill are the best of the best and very personable.

I wish I knew what Bill's secret fairy dust is. His cultivars almost always bloom within 4 wks of receiving, no matter what season it is. Have always received well established root systems and large fans.

The plants are big, big, big and in excellent health. The fans are huge up to 4 inches at the crown (single fan). The roots are plump and firm. No sign of any pests or diseases.
The bonus plants are much more than generous! And they are as big as the purchased plants! All the order is here, packaged well (the box was crumpled, but not the plants!).
These folks will be getting most of my business in the future!
When it comes to daylilies, these folks grow #1, grade A, super duper, gee golly great plants!!!
Can you tell they excited me?!

I was very happy with the order I got from Maryott's last June! The daylilies were fresh and healthy. They were all more than 2 fans (ranging from 3 to 6 fans.) The Maryotts gave me an extra bonus plant because they said that some of the plants may have been smaller than usual due to weather problems (although I thought the size was fine) and the bonuses ended up being worth almost as much as the daylilies I bought. The Maryotts also said that the shipping charges ended up being less than they had estimated, so they credited back the difference to my credit card. The only negative was that Maryott's doesn't start shipping until June 15, but the plants all settled in and grew well and half of them even bloomed last summer! The daylilies were a great value and I would definitely order again.

I LOVE, love, love Maryott's! I was a first-time customer this past August when I placed my order and was 'wowed' bigtime. Everything folks were raving about on here is true.
They send huge,healthy fans and some even pushed out scapes that are just starting to bloom.....in late September! A couple even had little proliferations on them so I got a couple extra baby plants. The bonuses are extremely plentiful and generous. (When I totalled up the cost of the free bonuses Bill sent, they exceeded what I had spent. And he sent ones that I had really, really wanted but were too pricey for my budget!)
I was so thrilled, I emailed him to find out if it would be too late to plant in my zone, because I wanted to order more lilies. He always responds quickly and cordially. Once
he told me I could squeeze in another order before it was too late for planting, I did just that. My second order was just as
wonderful and were planted last week.
I can't wait til next season when all my Maryott lilies are in bloom, and most especially when I can place ANOTHER
order! Waiting for that package is like waiting for Christmas. You just feel that excitement as you open up your box of lilies, looking at how healthy & big they are, and exclaiming with glee at the wonderful bonuses you were
gifted with. I wholeheartedly recommend this company!

I ordered several plants this year and received such beautiful and huge ones and the BOGO sale was astounding as more fans than they said. The bonus plants and weekly gift special blew me out of the water and ended up sharing some plants for postage with a cple friends. I could not have been happier with their plants or service. I will be buying from them again,
We have placed two orders this summer from their BOGO Sale. Each time we have received large fans, many time clumps, with great roots. They are very generous sending multiple gift plants, often times sending new and/or recent Maryott introductions. Bill and Marilyn are two very nice people and offer great customer service. This summer was our first time to order but will most definitely not be our last time.

Wonderful plants. I see why everyone raves about Maryott's Gardens. Nice big plants, great big fat roots! It was the BOGO sale and they STILL gave me two bonus plants: Kwanza Gold DF and Latin Rhythm DF.
I even got a third "bonus": One of the Cinco de Mayo has a prolif and the Kwanza Gold also has one! Both seem to have survived the trip.
They are definitely on my "To Buy" list

I have received several more orders with Maryott's Gardens, two in 2009 and I just received another one I placed last week. All three times the plants shipped were wonderful.: Big green fans, good roots, great overall healthy plants. I have always received extra fans on many of the plants that I ordered and each time received generous bonuses.
Customer service is excellent. The last order I placed needed to be changed after I sent the Email. (It was my mistake that need to be fixed, not one of theirs.) A simple phone call fixed everything.

They send at least double fans and awesome bonus' as well. It's like getting a Chirstmas gift when their box arrives. Thank you Maryott's for such excellent service to us daylily lovers.
This is one fabulous daylily nursery! Bill Maryott is wonderful to deal with, and his bonus plants were eye-poppers! Since I live in Bakersfield and received the plants in July I potted them up for fall planting, and several of them bloomed in the pots later in the summer and through the fall! I guess it has all be said by others here in their feedback responses, but I would like to mention his wonderful website with fantastic pictures, ease of ordering, his email communications with me, and last but not least the gorgeous double and triple fans I received -- plus so many, many bonus plants. WOW! I highly recommend Maryott's Gardens.
Folks, you cannot go wrong by ordering from Maryott's! I purchased 5 daylilies, expecting to receive double fans and the special advertised bonus of Kazoo and BOGO of Lord of Riches. I did not receive double fans, but triple or better! Plus, they were wonderfully healthy! Coming from CA to KY, I wondered if they would be stressed from the trip, but they could have gone into the ground that day! Adding to my delight, were EXTRA bonuses likely totaling more than my order! I was and still am amazed! You can feel confident in ordering from Maryott's.
I was blown away by the quality and quantity of daylilies received from Maryott's! Plenty of extras fans, extra bonus plants, and the specials of the week! Beautifully packaged, like a gift box! They are definately at the top of my list to order from again.

Now I too am singing their praise to anyone that will listen. I ordered 16 Fans and ended up with 46 fans and 2 prolifs!! All fans are large and healthy with great roots.
Not only did they send the advertised bonus plant but 2 others - one being a new intro of theirs worth my total order.
I am so please with both the plants and the communication that I just placed another order today.

Not only were the plants top grade, but the service was too. The emails were prompt and very friendly. They let you know when your plants were shipped and the packing was wonderful.
Maryrott's stands out from every other company that I have used.
I will definitely order from Maryott's again, and soon.
I received my first order from Maryott's today. The daylilies were the largest fans and so healthy. I could not ask for better. The bonuses were newer varieties and just as healthy. I really didn't expect so many bonuses either, and most were from my wish list for possible bonus plants. I will be returning to Maryott's next year. For the quality, quantity, bonuses and prices--you can't go wrong with this company and you can depend on them to answer your questions and reply to your emails/phone calls quickly.

WOW.
Now, I buy a lot through mail order-- and since I like to garden, naturally a large percentage of those purchases are gardening supplies and plants.
The daylilies I received today were far and away the nicest perennials I have ever received via mail order. I'll go one better: I can't imagine it's possible to receive anything better via mail order.
The plants are huge. I mean, fans the size of my hand (I'm 6'3) huge. And the tops are green. It's obvious that they were growing in the field until they were shipped to me.
The customer service was the same calibre as the plants. The nice personal email confirmation was a welcome touch.
And the gifts...
OK, I know a free fan or two is becoming standard in the industry. And it's a nice practice. But the gifts I received were nearly as many in quantity and higher in total retail price than the plants I paid for.
It's so refreshing to find such an well-run company, determined to provide a top-quality product and excellent service. Bill Maryott and company have done so with aplomb.
