Very small and only one or two healthy leaves. Planted in a scree bed. Quite extensive roots so hopefully will thrive

Hard to say much about these plants in my order because they’ve had their post flowering trim. They looked good and healthy though. If they like the troughs I’ve put them in AND I can keep them alive, I’ll be happy!
