  1. Gary

    The plants we ordered were somewhat small but these plants are vigorous growers. We grew them in one place in pots over the summer, where we could water them easily, then transplanted in the fall as more mature plants. Out of 25 ordered, we ended up with 27 plants! I think CSF sent a couple tiny ones that clung to the clump, and we planted them as well. Doing great, and the deer will keep them pruned but these will return if the roots are established.
