Disappointed
"None of the Cardinal flowers, September Charm Anemoe or Hepatice grew. The Blue Moon Woodland Phlox grew beautifully until it was eaten by a deer. These flowers are described as deer & rabbit resistant."

"None of the Cardinal flowers, September Charm Anemoe or Hepatice grew. The Blue Moon Woodland Phlox grew beautifully until it was eaten by a deer. These flowers are described as deer & rabbit resistant."
"The plants in this shade garden are growing nicely in the first year in a shady area of our lawn. Had about 85% growth rate from the bare roots and bulbs. Had some blooms on a few. Can't wait to see what it looks like next summer and the year after knowing that perennials "sleep, creep and leap". My recommendation would be to have the beds dug and ready to go before ordering a pre-planned garden."
"Only two plants out of I don't know how many came back from planting last fall - two hostas. What a waste of money. Before I planted them they looked like they could use another two months in the greenhouse before shipping them to me."
