Several years ago I purchased this Nandina to replace one that died from old age (not purchased from Gardener Direct). This year another one of the original plants died . I was so happy to see that GD still had this available so I ordered another one. The shipment was prompt and the plant arrived healthy and beautiful. Although this was grown "down South" it thrives and survives West Virginia's cold and snow. It is a hardy variety and the color changes are wonderful to watch.
The plant was in a very health state
Very happy with the plants!!
