The plants are weak, with yellow leaves or broken stems. They'll obviously recover with a bit of care, but I'm not happy with this first part of the order. I hope the rest of the order will be in much better condition.

Description
Buddleia davidii 'Adonis Blue' is a butterfly bush with intense midnight blue flowers, thanks to the density of its inflorescence. This very vigorous bush has arching branches that give it a slightly drooping habit. It grows rapidly and blooms from July to September, producing an abundance of large paniculate flowers measuring 20 to 30 cm (7.9 to 11.8 in) in length. Its flowers are melliferous (meaning they contain substances collected by pollinating insects or some birds that will be transformed into honey) and attract butterflies and ladybugs.
The foliage of the butterfly bush is deciduous. It consists of long silver-green leaves with a grey down on the underside. This colour provides a beautiful contrast with other plants in the garden. The leaves, measuring 15 to 25 cm (5.9 to 9.8 in) in length, are pointed and lanceolate. Native to China and Japan, this blue Buddleia is very hardy. It can reach a height of up to 4 m (13.1 ft). It is a plant that is resistant to pollution.
Whether planted individually or in groups, the Buddleia davidii 'Adonis Blue' will bring intensity to your garden. You can place it in borders, especially among other shrubs, or in a free hedge. You can also pair it with other buddleias for a contrasting effect or with ceanothus for a range of blue shades.

Buddleia 'Adonis Blue' enjoys sunny locations. Plant it in a light, fertile, cool but above all well-drained soil. Buddleia does not enjoy hot weather, but there is no need to overwater as it will bounce back when temperatures fall. This plant has no significant enemies. However, be cautious of caterpillars, weevils, bugs, and red spider mites that can invade it.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
