I can’t say much at present as this plant is still growing under the soil at present as it’s early Spring. But what I can say is that it arrived well protected and super quickly.

Plant looks nice and healthy but difficult to say as it’s currently so small. Plant arrived the next day once the sake was confirmed

Plants received and planted. A decent size and healthy looking. However, I understand that companies are trying to use less packaging but one corner of mine was damaged squashing one stem which I can only hope will recover. The delivery company took no notice of the ‘ keep upright’ signage as the box was thrown into my porch and probably was squashed en route. Hopefully my plants will flourish.
