Re: Email contacts for Spring Meadow Nursery?

I also received that shipment and I suspect the plants were subjected  
to very high heat while in transit.  The very tender leafed 'Dream  
Catcher' Beauty Bushes looked like they had been cooked. All the  
plants were well watered and the Hydrangeas and Rose of Sharon were  
in great shape.  The Beauty Bushes has lots of leaves and a good root  
system,  so it had to be the heat. I put the sick puppies in the  
shade, watered them and gave them a shot of Super Thrive and Kelp.  
One lived and one died. Say what you want about Super Thrive, but I  
have brought some pretty sick puppies back to life with it.
