Last one listed on my list. Exceptional plant !! Just as I have said in the past – there’s always a wonderful surprise to be receive. What a way to complete my wish list. How was my experience you ask? I got Surprises, Big and Healthy Cuttings – some with roots (just another surprise!) and I was shown through my order the appreciation for my business.

I ordered a 24-36″ cutting and got one that filled the entire length of the box. It’s super healthy looking and did a nice job growing roots in water this winter. Now it’s ready to go in the ground. Thank you!
