I would have given a 5 star review since nearly everything was perfect, from communication to delivery. Additionally, a discount adjustment was applied for being a first time customer, which was greatly appreciated. The packaging was outstanding, too. The reason for the 4 star review was due to the water hyacinth's quality/size. It's early in the season so I understand that the size might be smaller. They grow quickly in our koi pond of 22,000 gal. so we'll see how these do. The roots came off with little resistance when carefully separating them. That was a concern. The irises look great. I've already potted them up & excited for them to bloom.

Thank you so much for your feedback Kathryn! We hope to earn a 5-star next time, but we are glad almost everything was almost to perfect satisfaction this time around. We sincerely appreciate that you took the time to mention the discount adjustment, the communication, and packaging, etc. And, It is true that due to the earlyness in the season the size of hyacinths can be smaller as we grow these not too far away, in Oregon. Roots do detach themselves on hyacinths as well as lettuce, fairly frequently, but I do understand this can seem concerning. However, it shouldn't impact their growth and we are certain that they will quickly grow. Thank you again for your review! and until the next time we are wishing you and your monster pond the best success! Send us some pics when you can best, Ben & the PIK crew

The plants I've chosen have been delivered quickly and in good shape upon arrival. I'm a little disappointed in the size and quality of the Nymphaea 'Froebeli' Small Red Hardy Lily (Bare Root) plants I received. The Lily pads are much smaller than what I expected and the stem lengths were only about 3", so after planting them in a pot, even placing them on the ledge of my pond (roughly 10" deep) the leaves were underwater. The leaves were a very dark green, almost brown color. I'll give it some time, perhaps they will improve over time.

Hi Onalee - so sorry that we missed sending you the instructions. we have an automation that usually sends planting instructions to customers, that was recently rebuilt. And I can see for whatever reason that we didn't send to you. I'm sorry for that and I will continue to troubleshoot here. your feedback is really valuable so thank you. Section 4 here are the instructions for cattails: https://playitkoi.com/blogs/water-plants/play-it-koi-bare-root-plants-planting-instructions

They were very timely with there delivery. I received my American frogbit today. I put them in the pond. Buy live plants is a gamble. Some of the roots from the plants had come detached in shipping. There in the pond. I will wait. I real hope they survive. A koi pond in the desert is not easy. Lol

Thank you for your 4 star rating Kent! We are so glad to hear that you were timely with your delivery. We hope that the Frogbit have settled into the pond nicely. The detaching of roots is common on these guys due to the switch between climates, but they should rebound nicely. We actually just bought a place in Queen Creek AZ, not too far from you, so will soon be getting first-hand experience of having a koi pond in the desert ;-) Cheers and thanks again for the feedback -Ben & the PIK crew

Our apologies for the "surprise" shipment. On our end it looks like emails were sent, so I'm not sure exactly what happened there. We will investigate what happened on our end to try and prevent this from happening again. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

All 3 plants arrive a little beat up but alive and healthy. It should not take them long to recover from shipping. Looking forward to adding them to my pond.

So far so good, just put it in the pond, so I don’t have longevity or quality, but it came quickly and very well priced. We’ll see how it goes.

Shipping is pretty fast especially for plants. It would have been nice if the plants came with planting instructions however. I can find info on water Lillie's but not the iris. So I'm left to Google. Otherwise solid experience

Thank you so much for your feedback Tara and for being a repeat customer at Play It Koi! We appreciate that shipping was fast. We typically auto-email instructions once your order is fulfilled, but we recently shifted email providers so I'm wondering if perhaps things got dropped here? I'll look into it. Thank you again for hte feedback and sorry they didn't come through. best, Ben
