Planting Instructions:

Gorgeous!

Beautiful! Happily planted and growing.

Started out great, but...

This arrived in great condition, and was planted/watered/fertilized as recommended the same day. It's absurdly hot here, but this is supposed to be a heat tolerant plant, and good in sun, but because of the extreme heat, I put its pot in a place where it got shade in the afternoon. Despite the care I gave it - ample water without overwatering, etc, it started to wilt, leaves curling up and then drying, and it now appears to be dead as of this morning. I don't know if I did something wrong, or if it's just too hot for it, but it seems to be a goner.
