Perfect! the Lilly’s are all sold out at the nursery’s near me so I’m going to place an order just wanted to make sure they didn’t have a ton of stems. Thank you sir!

I haven't come across anything with the 6 plant minimum like @BKHpondcritters stated earlier. The Lilly's I purchased have a 3 plant minimum on them. 6 would seem very excessive unless you have a large pond.

Most of the marginal plants have the minimum of 6 per order, which would be fine if you have a VERY large pond/area or are doing the initial planting of a new pond, but at this point my pond is fairly well busting at the seams with plants and when I want something new it's because I'm redoing a specific area and/or just want a new specimen plant. Same with water lilies - I'm maxed out space wise for them & would only purchase one specific new one to replace an old one that I'd be getting rid of. No big deal - they can run their business any way they want, it just doesn't work for me, personally, so I just have to order from somewhere else.
I think I just observed that within the “shopify” app It may be possible to just order 1 plant. I havent verified this. But it lets you go into checkout anyway with just 1. If On their website the 3-6 plant minimum is a dealbreaker for you…,

Well, with all the positive praise here... I am giving play it koi a chance!
I ordered 24 plants total. Hopefully come fast and in good shape for planting before the season changes! Have to get that bog filled in with more plants, waterfall area finished up and start creating the landscape areas around the pond!

Follow up on Playitkoi. This is a view of the cannas and taro pictured earlier in this threaded planted 4 months ago in. 100 gallon stock tank bog. I am inexperienced and prone to mistakes, they died back almost entirely for several weeks and then all took off. No losses. About 3ft tall and still going
