I love my Wintergreen Boxwoods

I ordered about a dozen of these Wintergreens and they are absolutely beautiful and a steal at the sale price. I originally found out about Perfect Plants because I ordered Limelight hydrangeas from Costco and they were the vendor and my limelights are loving their life in their 2nd year. These wintergreens were well packaged and arrived super healthy and shipped quickly. I haven't planted them yet but kudos to Perfect Plants on their plant selection and packaging process. I also love know I am supporting a family farm as opposed to a big box store. Even the cardboard they ship the items in is of superb quality and can be reused for other purposes. Thank you and now it is time to order some more hydrangeas!
