Very, very good. Ordering was easy. Plants arrived quickly...less than a week, in excellent condition. Planted all and so far only 1 or 2 plants are struggling. The majority look great!

Family affair

I received my plants quickly and in good shape. Thanks to two of my daughters, they were planted on the day of arrival. Only one of 18 was in poor shape. We had prepared the soil before arrival removing grass and adding compost. I added a hundred feet of drip line and water them twice daily for 20 minutes. After three weeks they look great. I hope the deer and bunnies don't think so. Looking forward to flowers in the near future.
