Hi John
Thank you for writing your reviews of our plants. I see there was an issue with the Gallardia. Please see if the plant comes out of dormancy in Late March and if not please do call or email us and we will be happy to send out replacements.
All the best
Luke

Unusual for D&E, but the 9cm plants received were very small and the early growth seems to have faded away already. It may be the time of year, but I don’t have much hope they will survive. I probably should have invested in the larger established plant.
