D’arcy and Everest communicated well and the delivery arrived in good order. The plants were labeled as going dormant (as promised and expected). I have now planted them and look forward to seeing how they perform next year.

Poor. Badly packed and was dislodged from its pot. Another was sent as a replacement.
