The plants arrived in good condition and were planted the next day. They seem to be doing well!
United StatesPlants always arrive in good condition
I have ordered from numerous online nurseries, but Perfect Plants has become my favorite. Why? Because the plants are always so carefully packaged and arrive hydrated despite their travels. They also continue to thrive after planting.

United StatesThey're making it so far
Ordered 5 of the one gallon loropetalum. They arrived a little worse for wear, which I expected, but I didn't expect them to be so pot bound. The roots were popping up out of the soil and growing through the bottom of a few containers. When removed for planting, a lot of the roots were rotten (which is a common issue for these loropetalum plants. Root rot) I got them all trimmed up and got them planted asap. All 5 are alive, one is a little crispy, but all of them have new growth and look promising. I know they were on sale, great deal, very excited, but maybe check the pot sizes before shipping. If they die, im still out 100+ dollars and feel horrible that the plants could have been saved with a simple repotting at the nursery.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the condition in which your loropetalum plants arrived. It must have been disappointing and unexpected to find them so pot bound with root issues. I can understand how frustrating it can be when plants don't arrive in the best condition, especially when you've invested time, effort, and money into them. It's great to hear that you were proactive and took the necessary steps to trim the roots and get them planted as soon as possible. It's important to address root rot issues promptly to give the plants the best chance of recovery. While I'm glad to hear that all five plants are alive and showing new growth, it's unfortunate that one of them is a little crispy. However, plants can be resilient, and with proper care and attention, there's still a good chance it can bounce back.
The best purchase in plants ever. The plants were very healthy, and bigger than I was expecting. These plants were very well taken care of. They arrived in a box, however, they arrived in perfect condition. Will buy from Perfect Plants again.
