We had a couple of hot days when I received this plant. It was dried and stem was broken.
The delivery service had not followed the placement directions on the packaging. I tried to revive it with no success. I purchased a replacement plant locally so I could complete my project.

Thank you for sharing. We're sorry to hear this and are happy to help! Please respond to this email with photos of your plant's current conditions and we can further assist you!

I was very impressed with the shipment of Sage Advice Russian Sage. The plants were large (quart size) and healthy, with flower buds set. Have put them in the ground here in zone 8 on the coast. So far, so good. Hoping they can set good root structure during this coming winter. Thanks PW Direct.

My sister ordered some of your plants in the spring and raved about them. I had some shrubs removed so when I saw this plant I thought that would be a good replacement as I'm trying to have more flowers for the pollinators. I was surprised at what a healthy large plant I received. It's doing well and the spot where the shrub was and I like that. I can look out my window and see flowers now. I will be ordering more in the spring.

I could smell the plants as soon as Fed Ex handed me the box, planted right away and plants are doing great!

The colour brings out the reds in my roses, looking everyday for more plants from Proven Winners.

Now they are my go to place for plants.

I was skeptical about ordering plants online, because I've had some bad experiences, but I was so pleased at the health and quality of these plants from PWD. I'll definitely be ordering from them again.

These plants arrived happy and healthy. Sometimes some of the soil gets knocked around during shipping but that's to be expected. The plants were packaged well, arrived quickly, and are in great shape.
