These plants were packaged exceptionally well. After two days they perked up very nicely. They are in the ground now and doing very well.
Pye Weed can look a little road-weary after shipping, so it's good to hear yours bounced back quickly and settled in well. Once they're established they tend to take off, and the late-season blooms are a real draw for monarchs and other pollinators. Thanks for sharing the update, Donna. The Nature Hills Team
My Ruby Joe Pye weed is doing very well. The leaves are very green and flush.
My only critique would be that I expected more instructions included with the plant in the box
Glad Ruby Joe is off to a strong start. Those deep green leaves are a good sign the plant settled in well. You raise a fair point on the included instructions. We do have care guides on our website, but we hear you that having something in the box is more convenient, and that is useful feedback for us.- The Nature Hills team
