Stay away from this company.  I visited their retail site in Bloomington,
IL.  The plants are tiny, with no roots. Plants are stored on shelves in
cardboard boxes.  They dry out fast.  Everything I bought died.  I was
appalled at the miniature size of the plants.  If they advertise 1-1/2 feet
in size, the plant you receive won't be more than 12 inches with a few hair
roots.  Cheap isn't always a bargain.
