Overall review
I don't know yet how these plants (I got several different perennials) will grow cause I just planted them. I can tell you that I was super impressed with the packaging - it was the best I've ever received from a nursery! The plants all were in very good shape, well rooted and very full. I'm very pleased with this company and the friendly service they gave me.
