As an owner of a retail nursery here in Oregon, I would definitely recommend K.Van. K.Van is my "go-to" supplier for viable and healthy plants with a high rate of germination and yield rate. I've ordered from them for the past 5 years and will continue to do so.

I put these in the ground and they are already several inches taller and growing so beautiful. The phloxes I ordered last fall were terrible. None grew. Now I can see why. They look nothing like the ones my wife just ordered this spring. I will post pictures when they start blooming but I'm positive they all will bloom

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
