The Green Pages: Gilbert H. Wild and Son (E-Commerce Companies)

I've been buying from GH Wild since the mid 1990's. I have found them to be an excellent value in daylilies and peonies - especially cultivars that are not very new to commerce. They can be a good source of hostas, and perennials, too. I have purchased iris there a few times and been happy with them, but I stopped when I received the wrong cultivars.

They used to send only dormant, well developed plants; but within the last decade they have begun shipping smallish potted perennials, iris, and hostas. These are large enough and healthy enough to be viable even in my garden, but they tend to be smaller than plants sent by White Flower Farm or Annies Annuals and Perennials. They generally arrive in good condition: they are well hydrated and free of damage from shipping.

Good value here! Their daylilies are nice size fans and bargain basement prices. I've never had one fail to thrive. I've also had great luck with their hostas and other perennials. Product is well packed, frequently potted plants, and shipped at the right time. They did send me the wrong iris one time. Their customer service was great - they identified the cultivar they had sent me in error, for my information after I emailed a photo, and then replaced it with the right one.

2021 edit: I've been buying stuff from these guys for many years. I'm not crossing them off my dance card, but there's been a noticeable change in the past few years. New management or ownership perhaps? Subpar bareroot perennials - I won't be buying any of those again, and 2 years in a row of really lousy canna tubers at increased prices, that failed to thrive. Unfortunately, their new way of standing behind their product is to offer to replace it if you pay the shipping on the replacement products (again). What?? That doesn't pencil out for the buyer. Anyway, the daylilies are a good value and the potted plants always arrive in stellar condition. Irises are not always what you ordered, a problem I've had several times now. Their customer service will come around and make it right if you are the squeaky wheel.

Company located in western Missouri that's been doing business for years. Mostly they have daylilies, but also lilies, hostas, and other plants/bulbs. My first daylilies came from here about 12 years ago. Very reasonable prices, good shipping, and excellent customer service.

They sell daylilies at a reasonable price: $3.00 - 15.00. They carry a lot of older daylilies.

Shipping is one low price. Nice size plants, good customer service, and reasonable prices. If you have a problem, they will replace without any hassle.
