Planted the root following the instructions and this spring nothing came up. Sent message to the company with no response. Called them they did not answer their customer service line so I left a message with no response. I will not do business with this company again and I suggest you don’t as well
Everything arrived well, will plant in my garden when the weather warms up. Had a great experience with the company and will order again in the future
