Lovely, healthy plants
I ordered two of the Summer's Surrender ironweeds and both plants arrived in excellent shape. They were green and bushy straight out of the box, with a very healthy root system that was already growing out the bottoms of the pots! I planted them and both have already grown several inches just in the past week, and are even making flower buds! They're the perfect addition to my pollinator garden and are going to be so beautiful next to my asters and goldenrods. Love them! :)
