They were packaged very well, with half of the plants on the bottom of the box and half on the top. The pots were held in place with clear plastic shrink-wrap that covered the tops of the pots enough to keep the potting mix from going everywhere. There were also sticks on both top and bottom to prevent the plants from shifting and getting smashed or broken.
Given the protective packaging, all the plants were in great shape when I took them out of the packaging. Most of them were either flowering or close to it, with no dead tissues and healthy green foliage. Overall I’m impressed at the health of the plants and the fact that they arrived looking great and ready for planting. Also, even though these are labeled as orange, there is a lot of deep red in the flower petals - they are really beautiful.
