"I tried to find way to communicate this privately, could not, so , public review: disappointed on first purchase. Small phlox looked okay, planted. 2 bags of celandines advertised as 3 /shoots/ bag, only 2 in one , only 3 in other with very generous assessment. Pale and small even for new shoots. Ill care for them well and hope for best next year, will not odder again from this company til then."
"Arrived huge and healthy, seems to be thriving and poor sandy soil, had a few blooms so far. Really beautiful."
"Planted all 3 bare-root the day I received them. They received consistent moisture and shade. None have come up. I've grown this plant before from a potted version and had good luck in moist shady conditions."
"Used with hostas they bloomed quite quickly plants also did good growth for just one season"
"I love these poppies and bought these to populate an area that has two large trees and lots of shade. I Landed the bare root plants this Spring so will have to see how they in next Spring. I live in Northern Virginia where we have very hot summers and these poppies usually die back at this time. They are a lovely addition to a woodland or cottage garden."
"Treat these like a spring ephemeral. Once it starts to warm up; they will die back to the ground; and not return until the next year in late winter or early spring (depending where you are). Do not get discouraged. These are beautiful flowers."
"If I didn't absolutely adore this plant I would give up on it. I love the leaves every bit as much as the flowers which take my breath away. I've been trying to get them to grow on the creek banks of my heavily shaded lot for years now with little success. They are supposed to proliferate. I've even heard them called invasive. No such luck. Last year I bought 25 of these from American Meadows. I received 27 beautiful plants. I carefully planted them in the banks of the creek with a few left over for my pet memory garden. I watered them diligently through several dry spells, using creek water with a bucket for those along the banks. Most survived but none thrived. All but two died by fall. Now they are all gone. I want to believe some might come back in the Spring but I am not holding my breath. I will try once more come March. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong would be most welcome!"
"Planted several last year, and even after a harsh winter, they came up beautifully. Much larger than last year. Self seeded new plants which are taking off."
"These poppies are a worthwhile addition to areas of dappled shade. They are worthy companions of columbine, bleeding heart and coral bells. And they are tough. I thought the heatwave killed them but they came back strong as ever. If you love poppies, you deserve to have this woodland native brightening up those shady spots."
