The 2 buckets received do not match the photo, one had only one small withered leaf and the other had 2-3 leaves in the same condition. Moreover, the package was too large, so the clods were out of their buckets and badly damaged. Nevertheless, the young plants were still planted upon receipt... but I seriously doubt their survival.
