I bought this plant on Sept. 28th 2016. I drove over to Ga. to pick it up along with a few more I had ordered. For some reason everything seemed to be in a rush that day, and there was not much visiting or chatting after we arrived.. Mostly just drove over and picked up the plants that were already dug and bagged. So I never saw the plants, never even thought to look until I got home and was ready to plant them. 'American Freedom' was one of the plants I was most interested in because of the great stats, and the price of only $5.00.
Anyhow when I pulled the plant out I was shocked to see no foliage, a damaged crown, and some roots.
I called back over to where we picked up the plants and was told they were sorry, that they intended to mention it to me, but due to the rush had forgotten to mention it. However they said they had experience with such plants and that it should be fine. I was a little leary about the plant recovering, but should have known better, I have abused my share of daylilies and know how tough they can be.
Needless to say, receiving the plant so late in the year it did not bloom this past season. I did take this photo of the plant in Nov. 2016 and as you can see, it was three fans and looked pretty healthy. So I am looking forward to seeing if it lives up to the stats I selected it for, hope to see blooms this year.
