Buttonbush

We’ll packaged. Planted dormant stems same day and within a week the buds are opening up and leaves are growing.

Good plant

Received bare root plant, dormant, soaked in water for a few days until In was ready to plant. Got it in the ground yesterday, roots looked very healthy and it's starting to bud out. Looking forward to having this in my garden!

Shipment arrived promptly and was well packaged. The plants are in the ground and appear healthy. It is dormant season, so too soon to see new growth. Was very pleased to find difficult to find native plants.

Recieved 3 Buttonbush stalks and all 3 appear to have taken root. Thank You for your care and quality.
