Good luck!
Scot,
Have you ordered from the above nursery? If so, and you had no issues with them, you are very fortunate. I placed a big order from them several years ago and not only were the orders short but it took a long time before I got the ones I got, and some of them were ultra small, one or two were the wrong variety. To make a long story short, there have been phone calls and emails back and forth, and even the bad ones received were not replaced.

Communication exchange went on for months into the winter and in the following spring my emails were totally ignored. It appears that they start cuttings of the plants you ordered at the time that you order. And then they'll tell you that they were flooded with orders and they are doing their best to fill yours. If the cuttings don't take, they come up with all kinds of excuses, or something to the effect that your plants are not big enough. They even asked me, "You wouldn't want us to send you plants that aren't ready, would you?" What would you respond with a question like that?

Anyway, check out the blog on these guys. They also operate under several other names. Now why do you think that is?
