United StatesBuds are furry like ***** willow catkins
Love the short white spines that sit on top of green mounds. And the buds are covered with silky soft fur like ***** willow catkins.
United StatesPerfect
Beautiful specimen. Lovingly packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
United StatesAmazing!
With so many online shopping plants experiences - this is the only store when i received my plants they are still in one piece, no broken leaves, flow buds are still looking good, no split soil/rock. and no fuzzy cotton fiber that stuck in plant. They way they package the plants I think i will not shop other online store any more. What a amazing job!
United StatesHealthy and Budding!
This was a purchase simply for the gorgeous flower! The fact that it is developing buds already is a delightful added bonus.
