White Lite Sunflower Plants

I am deeply disappointed with Salinas Nursery due to misleading advertisements promising established transplants/seedlings & a built-in 1–3 day Express shipping model that actually took weeks to arrive. This extreme logistical delay completely ruined my seasonal harvest window for Michigan, rendering the plants useless for a Halloween/late fall harvest. To make matters worse, the seedlings arrived puny/weak, & multiple White Lite Sunflower plants died within days of being planted. I Followed all planting guidelines. They did communicate a delay after my order was placed. However, my disappointment is due to them advertising a seasonal item as available when it was not. Ordered Aug 2nd Received Aug 18 & 19th. Planted Aug 19. Pictures taken Sept 2nd (well over 2 weeks in the ground-still not looking good). There is a pic of sunflowers followed by the pumpkin seedlings. This is how they were advertised as being shipped (a decent 1-2 inch step and at least 2 decent sized leaves).

Arrived in great shape just what I wanted. They are planted and doing well.
