I have been buying plants from you for several years now. They have all done wonderfully! The delivery I just got were for my friends. We had a planting party at my house and I am hoping they have the same success that I have had. We live near Southport, NC so I am hoping theirs will thrive as well.
Last year I decided to bring the plants in because the winter was much colder than usual. Is it safe to leave them out when we have periods of severe cold like last year? It's much harder to take care of them inside because the heat dries them out.
I do get a lot of compliments on my plants. I am convinced this has more to do with the quality of the plants than me!
Sincerely,
Deborah
