plants did not survive
website is awesome, easy to navigate, and the plants looked healthy when I recieved them. I transported exactly as directed by instructions and 2 of the 3 plants did not survive. I am trying to nurse the 3rd one back to health. It's not looking good. What should I do? (I love these website, and do not wish to cause harm of any sort) Denise Walker

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We appreciate your support of our mission to help wildlife and the planet with native plants.

So tiny, 2 of 3 didn't survive :(
Sadly these very small plants did not thrive, despite our careful planting. 2 out of 3 died within a week. I'm hopeful the 3rd lasts.
