Shipped reasonably quickly & well-packaged; however, I was unprepared for them to appear as if they had just been plucked from someone's garden - roots, dirt, & all! Lol. They were neither bare-root, nor potted, so it was a messy unpack & I had to pot them up immediately. HOWEVER! The plants themselves are absolutely fabulous & a definite bargain 😀 I can tell they were well-cared for & prepped for the trip; the leaves were plump & healthy even though the soil was bone dry (yay texas heatwave lol). Nice variety in specimens, and I'd definitely order from this site again ❤️
