I was very thrilled when my plant arrived. I purchased 2 last year. Both plants bloomed, but this year I do not see any buds. I fed the plants the PW fertilizer and watered.

They came in a great box but they are floppy. I have planted them. They don't seem to be any happier. Hopefully they will perk and bloom.
I'm very happy with my other plants.

The shipping process was easy and efficient. One box was damaged that extended to the plant container being slit in multiple places. Both plants looked healthy with one being a beautiful mature root bound plant and the other less healthy and almost zero roots. I hope it lives.

I am extremely happy with my 'Serendipity' Allium. They came very well packaged with plastic over the pot to keep soil intact. I was impressed with how big, and healthy they were. I planted them straight away and gave them a nice long drink to them settled into their new home. I can't wait until they start blooming. Thanks, Proven Winners! I will definitely be ordering again soon.

I ordered these allium in early fall when the blooms were already gone, but the foliage looks very healthy, the root ball is nicely developed, and the shipping was packaged well. Can’t wait for next year to see the blooms!

I planted Serendipity the day after it was delivered. It was a little wilted when it arrived, but after planting, it perked right up. It had buds when it arrived and they are just now blossoming! I can't wait to see them once they bloom. Thanks Proven Winners!
