The plants were beautiful but had frost damage in shipment. There has been no acknowledgment or response to my report of this
Love their plants!! Always a good size plant!! Their prices are very reasonable. Only wish I had room for more.
To say I was surprise is a under statement. So much detail and care went into the packing. The plants was secured and each was pack with moist packs and the plants didn't dry out. The plants arrived quickly, loved them and will be purchasing more.
I received this plant about 2 years ago and she grows very well! This spring I have 8 flowers.
This plant arrived so neatly and carefully wrapped in paper like a baby. I was so impress with the care and effect it took. I loved it.
