Vanessa –
I have never ordered from plants4home before. They had the best price & shipping on creeping Taiwan bramble that I wanted to try. We were on vacation and had our mail paused at the time my plants were going to be delivered! They arrived at the post office on Friday. We got back Sunday. Monday at 11:30 I went to get them (couldn’t get the family out the house) and I was reminded we live in tiny no where and the post office closes at 11 everyday. Tuesday was a holiday so post office wasn’t open. Finally Wednesday I got them! I was scared to open and find dead plants but they were beautifully wrapped and looked like they were just out of the garden and not in a dark box for a week. Very pretty plants. Can’t wait to plant them as a ground cover. Two have blooms on them. I have high hopes for them! Thank y’all so much!
