Hi Meta
Thank you for taking the time to review your plants. We are truly sorry that this one didn’t survive as our existing sales plants are healthy. I can only assume it was damaged in transit. We have now refunded you for this one.
All the best
Luke

Thank you for all my plants from my latest order, beautifully packed, amazing plants, unusual and rare, extremely friendly, I know DarcyEverest are extremely busy as they go to shows and fairs and that needs a lot of time, but always caring for their online customers too. I was contacted by DarcyEverest for a plant I was looking for a long time and that means a lot to me, that makes a huge difference from others. After finalising my order, arrived in 24 hours. I loved every single one, including this Berkheya cirsiifolia, a rare thistle from S. Africa. I am extremely happy with my orders and plants, thank you so much!
