Epimedium rubrum (Barrenwort)

I saw a large patch of this in a neighbor's yard and wanted to add it to my shade garden. Plants arrived and looked great. They are now in the ground and doing well.

The plants arrived in great shape. I planted them immediately and mulched
them good with compost. They stood up overnight and looked like they had never traveled to my location half way across the country. Today, they look even better, much like they had never been transplanted. I should have ordered more!!! Phil

This plant came bundled up so caringly. I wish I took a video or picture. It had a collar of springy woven stick mesh… idk but it was around the stems of the plant to protect the stems. Like it had a little puffy coat for the trip. Then it was packed so well into a plant shipping tube (like I’ve gotten from other nurseries) and with perfect amount of crunched up paper around it to keep it snug. The plant itself looked absolutely amazing when I opened it. And no broken stems! Will def order from there again.

I have to say, I’m usually disappointed by planting material I order. So, my expectations were particularly low. These two plants not only arrived so incredibly well packed, they were placed in a very large box that had enough cushion as to not move! They arrived healthy and individually protected with material around the stems, so the plants had no broken or bent leaves. Also, they are quite large for this size pot.
