First shipment was short two groups of three. UPS delivered a couple days late so what arrived was in bad shape as the box was crushed and it had been very hot. I let 3b know and they were so responsive and sent the full order again. The plants all arrived on time and in great condition. Beautiful healthy and well packed plants. I couldn’t be happier.
Arrived in great condition and good size
Love them! Healthy and vibrant.
Ordered 150 butterfly weed plugs. All were larger and healthier than expected with well established root systems. Provided a Deep soak once planted and kept watering to a minimum allowing nature to do its thing. 2 weeks in and they’ve appeared to transplant well. Looking forward to next spring when they really shine. Thanks 3B!
Came packages well with no damage at all. They are growing very well.
