These Hydrangeas plants were so full and pretty! I'm definitely ordering from this company again. Their quality is SO much better than any other company. They already had buds on the plants when I got them. I'll post pics later. But if these plants don't make it, it's probably the owner's fault. They come with clear instructions and you can even buy the soil they grow in for extra safety. I'm really happy with my purchase! My husband got me one L.A. Dreamin' for Mother's Day. I'm excited to watch these grow with our family!
