Flowers are beautiful
This was my first experience buying from Nature Hills Nursery. To say that I was amazed when my order showed up is an under statement. The packaging blew me away. It was very well protected and safe. Very well thought out packaging. The plant arrived all ready to go in the ground and actually it was already quite pretty. I will order from them again for sure. The plant is already doing great. Thank you so much. I am a happy customer.

So far- good!
So far, so good. It was gorgeous upon arrival but the S. Carolina sun is baking it for sure. The deer promptly ate the blossoms but didn't much care for the foliage, but they keep trying! Maybe they don't communicate well! Anyway there are new leaves coming up and it's doing okay. We will have to cage it when blossoms begin in the future. Very healthy plant & well packaged
