Received healthy plantsGreat plants for outside planters for us city folks who don’t have yards with grass. Adds great color to the yard and the bees and butterflies like them too .Only after I purchased this did I read the reviews and then I started to worry. Many of them said their plants showed up dead and their roots bound so tightly that there was no hope for it, etc.When I received mine, it too was halfway dead, the soil was dry as a bone, and the roots were so tightly packed, that I actually had to rip some of them when I replanted it into a bigger pot. I've had it for a little while now, and it hasn't died any further. I am hoping that with a little care, it can come back to its full glory.Arrived on time and in perfect condition. As an added bonus I received double the amount I ordered. will be buying againPlants arrived in great condition. I planted them outside in my garden areas. Hopefully they are truly perennials as advertised. Spring will tell. Worth the money to try and see.I don’t know if it was my watering skills or how much sun they received, but one died 4 days later.I had purchased 8 from a well-known online nursery. They all came dead. I purchased these the next day they came quickly thriving and even though they are smaller. I have purchased house plants from the seller I will now all my gardening purchases.This is the 3rd phenomenal lavender I’ve tried to grow in the last month and it looks like it’s not going to make it either. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong or is it just this Texas heat?
