Extra Special
The pot arrived nice and full and the roots were well developed and healthy. This is the 2nd one I ordered. First one was just as excellent. Love US Perennials ?

Downy Sunflower
Ordered 14 of these last year to colonize a hillside with dry, poor soil. They flowered in the first year and are looking great again this year! They seem to love the spot and will hopefully outcompete the invasives!
