4ft in 2 years

"Year 2 of my Redbirds in a tree, and they’ve grown to 4 and 4. 5 ft tall. It’s the plant everyone asks about when they come through my yard. They also bloomed the first year which was a nice surprise. They bloomed from July through mid-September, during a very hot Denver summer. They really came to life when other plants started fading."

Redbirds in a tree looking

"Redbirds in a tree looking good & doing well. Ditto for two each Mexican Hats & coreopsis. Lavenders holding their own - we shall see. . . . HOWEVER, only one agastache survived (sad face - very sad, sadder than emoticon can show). Was gonna order replacements, cuz these were my most hotly desired plants. But alas they are out of stock. We had 20° cold snap, and although covered, the little babies just couldn't come back. Do not plan to ever give up on the licorice mint though - this is my totem plant. ps: one agastache from last year doing well & sumac also. Thanks for asking. Sincerely, Mary Stone"

Packaging was done poorly, dirt

"Packaging was done poorly, dirt was all over in the box and the plants were almost dead. I had to pick all the dead leaves off and put soil back in containers. For the price I paid I was expecting a lot better packaging job and better quality in the plants. I ship for a living and I would never have used a box like that to ship plants in."

I order2 plants, one is

"I order2 plants, one is gone,it didn't make it, the other is doing great,still small, no flowers, will see what happens."

Very disappointed.

"Ordered three plants. All three were delivered very poorly packaged and completely dry. Almost all shoots were damaged. Very disappointing. Will never order from this company again."

Mine did not look anything

"Mine did not look anything like this. It’s mostly leaves with one little sprout of red at the top."

The dirt was completely out

"The dirt was completely out of the container. The green newly sprouted part fell off the roots. I did plant them and cross my finger and said a prayer that they make it. Very dissappointed with how they arrived. We own a eccomerce gardening company and ship live plants daily. I understand the complexity of shipping. I would suggest a piece of carboard to cover the container to prevent spillage of the soil."

Sheila K. (1/5)

Sadly a big disappointment

"Disappointed overall experience, two years ago they cancelled my order because they had a bad crop then last year I purchased two plants again and they came very very tiny one of them I could not even see it in the pot I still planted them both and didn’t made it :( so never again with this plant"

Hugo R. (1/5)

I was shocked at how

"I was shocked at how tiny these were. I think it unfair that I attempt to fully rate these now. If I did, I’d say “I grossly overpaid. ” We are taking about a half inch to one inch growth. And while I cannot recall the exact cost, I believe it was in excess of $150, making the cost of each nearly $17/each. Therefore, I’ll rate them a 3 because they were healthy and well packaged."

Nancy B. (3/5)

"I finally got my order and the plants weren’t in the best shape. Im watering them and putting them in the sun. Im sure they will bounce back. I plant to put them on my back fence once rhey get some better growth on them."
