Beautiful colors and plants, thriving well, with no issues

Excellent products and services
Before placing PO for expensive diamond crape myrtle, I was a little nervous to order live plants on line. I worried about quality of plants, the way of shipping and services. It turned out as an excellent experience. The plants are absolutely top quality. The packing is so thoughtful. One of them bloomed on my wife’s birthday. We are so happy with the purchase.

My plants were well packaged and were delivered very quickly. There was no damage to the plants from shipping, and they were packed so we didn't have to plant them immediately. Very impressed.
