Love it, great shape, and fast delivery.
they arrived in perfect condition! thank you so much for the care you took is sending them and also for the Peace Lily that kept them company - definitely recommend Well Spring Gardens and will buy from again!
I guess I thought shipment would be delayed when outside temperatures hovered below zero. It was a bitterly cold day — well below freezing and part of a prolonged cold stretch that week. The surrounding days were similarly frigid, with January 23rd being the coldest day of the year so far in 2026, recording a low of -21°F. Predictably the plant did not survive. In the future can you consider delaying shipping until weather allows.
