Oops

That's the only plant that didn't take. And even if it did it would be too small to tell.

We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.

Bee Balm

The plants arrived and they are almost dead. There wasn’t much to them when they arrived so I have been waiting for them to come back. I have had them in the sun and watering them. I am very disappointed as I was looking forward to having these in my garden.
