I agree with Debbie - that's really one of the cardinal rules for
buying plants mailorder - placing a small first order to test the
waters. Hard to do, sometimes, when in the throes of terminal plant
lust, but the best course of action. If, of course, you have read
glowing reports on the nursery from more than one source, you can
stretch this cardinal rule a tad in fair safety:-)
