Southernwood
I've been looking for this plant for a while and was very pleased to find it. It arrived promptly, in protective packaging. A few of the fronds were yellow, but there is new growth from the base and it's doing well after a week in a new pot. Very pleased.

LOVELY PLANT
A fine, strong plant with an excellent root system. Also, a real "blast from the past" as this is "Aipple Ringie" to a Scot - and was a staple in my parents' and grandparents' gardens in Fife. Thanks for the memories.

Quick service
Quick service. Southernwood arrived within a week, and was well packaged against damage. The reason for 4 stars is one of the two was a bit scrawny.
