REVIEW: I am so glad that you offer the native astilbe, but two of the three plants had broken leaders due to the fact that they were tall and bent to fit into the box. REPLY: Thanks for leaving a review, Michael - we're sorry to hear that two of your plants were damaged. As discussed via private message, please don't hesitate to get in touch if they do not survive, or fail to sprout in the spring, and we will be happy to replace them for you!
