I received 2 of these plants in beautiful condition I planted them in my Aqua Pots (Provin Winner) on my front porch which gets sun at noon so far looking good except one is getting burned so I’ll see maybe it just needed more water so I filled the pot.

What a unique shrub. Saw it on a gardening clip on Youtube and really wanted one. Very pleased to find one online. Perfect shape, planted it and it doing well in the sunny spot in my front yard.

I ordered 2 plants 2.5 QT size. Plants arrived healthy and are doing very well. Exactly as described. I would have given 5 stars if both plants arrived being approximately the same size. One was much smaller.

As soon as I saw this Dragon Prince, I just had to have it! I love the fact it is bouncy and soft to the touch, unlike most conifers that poke you. I want to make a Japanese garden on the east side of our house and I picked this shrub for its compact size, density of foliage and naturally mounded shape. It arrived in a timely manner well packaged with a bit of frost burn on some of the tips I’m guessing. No biggy. Just got a little shear. Thanks for letting me get my hands on these!
