So far so good!
We planted these along our curved front walkway and so far they look like they’re doing well, but it’s only been two weeks. Our expectation is that by next year, they will provide a very elegant outline of our curved front lock! FGT Never disappoints with the quality of their shrubs and their shipping process and over the past couple of years they have become our go to when we need any kind of plant shrub or tree!
First time order
I was a little apprehensive ordering from an online nursery. But the bushes arrived very well packed and vibrant. I am very pleased.
