The plants came in very good condition, still look healthy after 1 month and are growing. These plants are shaded until early afternoon, then sun for about 6 hours.

    The worst
    I ordered 4 of these plants and all of them died! I 'm now reluctant to order any more pants from Home Depot but I have never had this problem in the past with my order.

      Various Butterfly Bushes
      I have no idea what color or which bushes I have received. All the tags where in the bottom of the box and none if my plants where individualy marked. I wanted to plant alternating colors. Its upsetting .

        The product was small and spindly, I'm not convinced that they'll survive, let alone flourish?

        The plant was basically a twig with a few leaves on it. Really disappointing.

        Hello Rachel - We are sorry your plant did not meet your expectations. During the winter months here in southeast Michigan, we keep our shrubs in cooler greenhouses where they go dormant. This dormancy usually lasts from November to April at our greenhouses. During dormancy, plants go inactive and conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons and weather change. If your hydrangeas did not recover from dormancy, please email us at helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com and provide us with your order number. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Cori -- Proven Winners Direct

        Attracts Butterflies But Doesn't Support Them
        This plant is reliable for attracting butterflies, but it's deceptive. None of the native butterfly larvae can eat it. This hybrid cultivar has supposedly been developed to be non-invasive, but I'm suspicious. One of its parent species is widely invasive both on West Coast and much of the eastern US from southern CT to about northern GA. There are tons of better choices to plant, plants locally native that both support butterflies with nectar and with foliage the caterpillars can eat.

          Hardy
          This plant is hardy, and one of them started blooming right away. The other one hasn't yet - I've had them for close to a month - but it is healthy. They aren't as full or as sturdy looking as I expected, but as I said, they are hardy and healthy. Pretty purple flowers on the one.

          Landscape
          I bought 5 butterfkt bushes for my house, the plants arrived in good shape. I was lazy and did not plant them for 2 weeks, by that time they were in bad shape which was all my fault. However, I got them in the ground and within 1 week they were thriving again!! I planted them in April and by the end of May they had fresh blooms. They have quadrupled in size since then! Definitely recommend these plants!

            Really???
            This plant is to small to even think about planting. Will be returning it with some other online ordered plants that are ridiculous for the price.
