Arrived in perfect condition and ready for planting out. An impulse purchase (easy to do on the excellent website), but with good cultural guidelines from the website, I hope this unusual plant will thrive.

As Always my order from Darcy & Everest was excellent, the plants are always in great shape.
I believe that my plans for the various Alpine areas of our garden will look great when i plant out the various plants i have bought over the winter months from Darcy & Everest. Cheers Steve & Bren

Beautiful leaves and a striking plant. Arrived really well packed and intact. I planted it in a pot with succulents so that I can bring it in the greenhouse to protect it from rain in the winter.
