Very nice plants for the price. I've used Hirt's begore and will do so again in the future ! They are Proven Winners brand plants, a little smaller then what they sell directly at Proven Winners, but about half the price. Great plants if you are willing to wait a few years for growth compared to ordering from Proven Winners. Plus you'll save of of money !
Strongbox and several other plants came quickly and had already started sprouting (too quickly for our planting season, we got 7" of snow yesterday). I'm keeping it inside for another month or so. It looks very healthy and was very well wrapped. The soil pot was tapped so the soil didn't come out and the leaves and stem where in bubble wrap. However there was an earthworm, I think a nightcrawler, but I'm going to let it grow a bit more and confirm ID. We have no native worms in Minnesota and are very worried about jumping worms, so finding a worm is concerning. I'm "quarantining" all the plants inside until it's appropriate to plant them.
