Plants arrived in healthy condition

I planted them the next day and they are thriving. I should have ordered them early in May, but they will grow and thrive next spring.

natives

I loved the advise I was given. All my questions were answered quickly. I hope all my plants survive the heat wave and the winter.. My only complaint is that the prices are a bit steep.

Swamp Milkweed Plant Sets

Plants arrived very healthy. I water them immediately and placed in a shaded area. The next day I planted them. I has been a week and they already have doubled in size. Looking forward to seeing the wildlife they will attract.
