I have never received any type of plant order shipped in such a caring way as the mint plants that I ordered from this company. So fresh and so secure! This is top notch customer service!

I thought the plants were very small — 1 spindly stem —- and more importantly the roots were not very well developed. It is a vigorous plant so I am hoping with some TLC they will thrive. Don’t think I’ll order from you again!
