Zinnia

Plant came very well packaged! It even had a small bud. Unfortunately I messed up by not checking the weather before I planted so I lost it to frost. Ordered three more, all came promptly and well packaged. Healthy with soil that was still damp. New growth on all three within a week of planting. Very happy with this purchase.
