Arrived healthy

The plants arrived healthy and are doing great so far

Wonderful Plant

Plants arrived in great shape due to excellent packaging. Had a few open blooms too. Growing nicely in my rock garden. Ones I've purchased in previous years are huge and covered the ground just like I hoped they would.
