I bought 12 of these little plants. They are in a mostly shady area because they were advertised to thrive in shade as well as sun. I do hope this is true. They have only been in the ground for about a week, but they look healthy and strong. They arrived in perfect condition.

I bought 99 plants, one week later half are dead brown, I emailed GreenThunb they asked for a picture, which I sent. I never heard back. I emailed them 8 times after that with no help. I don't know if they will ever respond. The half that are still a litte bit green might live, I'm hopeing they contact me.
I saved for a whole year to buy these and in one week they are dead.
