Bee Balm bare roots…Needs proper preparation
Mine looked really dried out when I received them too. After researching it, I soaked the roots in water overnight and then put each plant into peat pots with seed starting soil and watered well. After a few days, I transferred all of the the whole pots (the pots dissolve) into my garden and they’re doing great!

    None of the roots/tubers have shown any signs of growth for about a month now. I've never had problems getting plants to grow from shipped roots before.

      I received a bag of dirt with a mash of root pieces. Two tiny leaves are trying to grow. There were supposed to be 5 bare root plants but it’s really a small sack of mulched soil. This is by far the worst online purchase!

      Terrible! There were not 5, only 3 that looked like roots. Rest was dirt. They have not come up yet and it’s been a few weeks. Don’t recommend!

      Nicely packed but No Plant Growth
      Maybe I planted bulbs wrong or in the wrong location Hopefully others had better luck than I did. For $20 I was hoping for at least a little success.

        There was to be 5 roots maybe 3. I did write to van zyverden and told them how unhappy I was. If I had saved the box or some other items I should write it down and send. Well I did not save box or other items. So I have not contacted Van Zyverden.

        Buy elsewhere
        These come from Spring Hill Nursery. They do not sell good quality plants. These were received dry as dust and shriveled. I planted them but they show no signs of life.

          Is this a SCAM?
          I ordered 2. When I opened the packaging I found 2 small root mats in one package and 1 root mat with 2 small root strings in the other. I carefully combed through material and that is all I received.I want a refund.

            I received a bag of dirt with one root. I still planted it and it did not grow.

            The rhizomes arrived intact, but I am afraid the rabbits or squirrels dig most of them up. I recommend covering the plot with netting until they emerge.

            I purchased two of this product. I was not satisfied with what arrived but I planted the roots four weeks ago with still no results. I would like to be refunded. I hope this will be possible. I would not purchase this product again.
