    I was nervous about ordering plants online but mine showed up carefully wrapped and already budding. A few weeks later my patio has these gorgeous ruffled blooms and I have barely done anything. Perfect for someone like me who usually forgets to water.

    I ordered five different colors for my container garden and they are all thriving. The plants were fuller than I expected for the price, and that deep purple one is my favorite. I will definitely be back for more.
