I also have ordered from them numerous times -they mostly sell small liner
type plants, and most seem to do nicely so long as I can give them
reasonable TLC during the first few months till they size up. (i.e. water
and protection from bunnies). I think they are greenhouse grown - the
instructions that came with last spring's shipment indicated that they would
be fine for immediate planting so long as the temperatures stayed above 26
degrees.
