thanks its still alive
The plant arrived in great shape as always from Mudbrick Herb Cottage. I've purchased several plants before and have never had one arrive in unsatisfactory condition.
Plants arrived in the mail promptly and in very good condition. The packaging and quality of the plants themselves are well worth the cost. The second order of plants also arrived in good order, very happy.
