Lyle AllenI ordered 3 plants. They came timely. I got 3 starts and a broken 4th. I immediately put them into their own containers. They are thriving.Paula ForbesGoldenSeal
The roots arrived very promptly. I planted them immediately. They all came up within 3 days. I was so surprised to see the little leaves on the plants that fast. Will definitely be ordering them again as I expand my medical garden.BradGoldenseal-Can't Wait
This is such an incredible plant. Learning about its habitat and the concern of its populations I wanted to do my part to see if I could assist. I am super excited to see what happens. This was purchased for my home landscape and it arrived on time and as scheduled. It was very easy to order and I appreciated the variety of shipping time options. They were shipped bare root and it seemed very healthy. I planted it the day I received it so I am just hoping I can encourage its great growth in its new home! Great experienceJackieLovely root
