I was so pleased with this shrub, I ordered another, and was not disappointed! The first one is setting buds, and this new one is thriving.

This plant arrived in excellent condition, and is full and lovely. There are lots of buds, so I anticipate many flowers this winter/spring. I have ordered several times from this site and will continue to do so. Their stock is of excellent quality and arrives promptly in good condition. I highly recommend Plants by Mail!

This is the first time I ordered plants from this site and I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
The plant was well packaged and arrived in wonderful condition: the leaves were green and fresh. The roots ball was full and still very moist. I see lots of new buds.
Yes, I will come here again to order more plants and I recommend this site.
