United StatesGreat Product
I bought these first to try my hand at native gardening and this batch of plants turned out great!

United States"Fresh" flowers
The plants arrived looking very lively, and the products were well-packed. The instructions included were very helpful. So far I think I have planted them correctly and am looking forward to having some native grasses and flowers in my yard for the bees and butterflies. And beauty.

Thank you for sharing your review! We appreciate your support.
United StatesFirefly delight... for squirrels
The plants arrive very well packaged, although probably several weeks later than would have been optimal for planting in our area. Although all seemed fairly robust, four of the plants (2 Oxeye sunflowers, one Little Bluestem and one Blue Aster)) were dug up and destroyed within two days of planting. Next time I would likely purchase more established plants from a local source and cage them until well-established.
