I love these flowers, they add an exotic look to any flower garden from June thru July here in Virginia, which is why I wanted more of them. Beautiful arching double rows of cascades of red to pink miniature trumpets.

Packaged very well & with instructions. Roots were much smaller than anticipated but seemed moist & in good shape. I planted within two days of receiving & hope to see growth before winter. If these do well I will be ordering more items soon.

The bare root plants arrived quicker than I expected. They look healthy & thank you for the extra. They have been soaked & at this time are in a flower pot on the porch. Can't wait until spring to add them to my garden.
