I planted these last fall. None came up this spring. Everything else in my order was great but not these. They looked awful when I got them so I didn't expect much.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I planted two bags of the dry looking sticks in November, after soaking them for about an hour. It's almost the end of March, and there's not a single plant in view, extremely disappointed.

We are delighted to let you know we guarantee our merchandise. We will be reaching out to you with a positive resolution.

Planted these beneath trees and hard to imagine these flat crisp match-stick like roots. Sure looking forward to signs of life LoL but have faith Spring will show much anticipated growth and bloom. Time will tell. For now I am quite curious.

I am excited about the new product. I have some bare places under trees where I would like some color and interest. These are not bulbs but roots with eyes so the sqirrels may leave them alone. Looking forward to spring.
