Plant arrived alive well packaged .. now growing in shaded area and doing very well.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development.

Super bugleweed

The plants were very well-packed. The plants were healthy - and started taking off immediately. I had to move 2 plants after a big tree fell down in a storm - and even they are doing quite well. I was trying them out (first time I have ordered from this company) I will be back next year for more!
