I bought 3 of these plants and they arrived in good condition. Planted them, amended our clay soil with mulch and compost and then watered the in. They took root very well. WE had a pretty heavy frost for zone 7b this last year, but they are coming through BEAUTIFULLY and covered in blooms. Love them!!
