Received very quickly and all the plants came in healthy and strong and the soil was still damp. All of the plants transitioned to my native garden very easily straight from the box. My husband has said this website will be more dangerous than Amazon as you build your inventory of Florida Native plants! My checking account is scared! LOL Thank you for the amazing plants. Can't wait to put in my next order.
