    The little vines arrived healthy and very well packaged for shipping. We are a fan of the hardy chocolate vine as it is (nearly) evergreen in our zone, so maintains a nice screen year round. We love the flowers and fragrance of this vine.

    Arrived fast, in great condition. Watered them and they are thriving. Can not wait to see them bloom.

    The turnaround between ordering and shipping was beyond expectation. Plants arrived in great shape, although a little dry. An overnight soak easily perked them up and they look healthy.
