So far so good!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered half a dozen plants, all were healthy and happy on arrival, the soil still moist, very well packed. A few bruised leaves, but nothing major. I planted them a couple weeks ago in a spot with full morning sun and filtered afternoon sun, and each one is doing well. They all began leafing out immediately. A couple came with buds already, and about half now have buds -- very exciting! I expect them to continue to thrive. So very happy gardener (and customer) here!!!
