"For $15 a plant I was expecting a mature healthy plant. Instead, what arrived was a starter sized well packaged dying plant. Shipped on the Friday before memorial day weekend. All the foliage was bent, broken, and yellowed. I have planted them and will try to have them survive, and am told that they come with a one year guarantee. That buys them the second star. Save your money for all except the rarest plants imo."
"Planted this in amended heavy clay in Western Colorado in late fall. The picture was taken the following spring, roughly seven months after planting. Did not expect this result in the first spring. Amendments included locally sourced compost, crushed basalt fines, azomite, and a little organic fertilizer. I watered it at planting and a couple times during an unusually dry winter. No supplemental water this spring, as the clay here under bark mulch holds water all season. This plant grows in the canyons here without any supplemental water. Although the foliage on our specimen is superior to those we see in the wild here. Pollinators, including hummingbirds, visit the flowers regularly."
"Unique plant that is doing great in poor soil and no supplemental water. Planted this spring. They looked rough out of the box but are coming on strong after a couple months. Can't wait to see them fill in even more. They get all sorts of winged visitors too."
"Planted the small plant in the Fall, it wintered well and came out with its first flower this Spring."
"I have planted this in lightly fortified pumice in a fairly sunny spot. A very interesting plant. I hope it likes it!"
"Its taken a few tries to get this beauty. Previously 2 died and now one of the replacements is coming up well, but this one, now on year 3, is doing great and is SO pretty. I'm going to try some more next spring as the color and spread of the plume is so striking."
"I appreciate being asked to review the plume…but I am too early in the growth cycle to know how well this plant will do. Therefore, this review may not provide you meaningful feedback. I have nursed these plants (to get them established)."
"but I think these plants will thrive. They began their shipping journey over a holiday weekend with no mail delivery service and some slower than anticipated transit. They arrived with a bit of yellowing, droopy leaves but planted as instructed and hoped for the best. At two months now, they are filling out, adding some height and looking a bit healthier. Not sure if I will see flowers this year, but they seem to be taking root in their new location just fine."
"My garden faces south and has a slope; the top of the slope is always very dry. I planted two prince's plumes a year ago at the top of the slope, and both of them are already blooming and don't seem at all impacted by the heat and lack of water. I'm going to order a third."
"I got this Prince's Plume from HCG as a small potted plant. It arrived very healthy at a very good time of year (any later and it would have been too hot), just moist for shipping but not over- or under-done. A month and a half later in my border, it is THRIVING. It took hold right away and is going forward well. Too young to bloom, but I expected that. I got 2 other different native plants at the same time and it's the same with them. Very happy with my purchase. So happy to be able to find natives, and in particular, desert natives that are not cactus!"
