The cone flowers came packed well. Two of them were a little small and are still struggling a bit, but all the others were beautiful. Some even have blossoms after a month. I would purchase from Great Garden again. To update my review I babied my struggling plants. One survived and one did not. The survivor is still very small. Cheyenne Spirit is blooming and beautiful. My Rainbow Sherbet double dipped went to flower heaven. My birds in the area love the seeds.
