United StatesSempervivum Tojo Red Hen and chicks
I would give a 5 star rating. Thrilled to receive my plants. They were wrapped well and sent in a timely manner. They seem to be thriving well. Thank you will buy again.
United StatesIt’s looking good
I am a little crazy to transplant this and other plants in southern Arizona when we have a long run of 110º or more. This plant is looking slightly stressed but healthy and “ready to go” when our temperatures go back below 100º. I’ve bought four plants from Planet Desert in the past month and all have held up well.
