National Plant Network 2.25 gal. Potted Conversation Piece Azalea

The plant arrived in horrible condition. Beware, when you see NON REFUNDABLE, that’s your red flag that this company should not be selling plants. Most companies allow return, especially if the plant does not grow. Don’t buy plants from a tractor supply. . The plant is now in the trash and $50 bucks in the garbage.

As with all my azalea purchases from this seller, plants arrive well packaged and extremely healthy in appearance.

The 2.25 gallon potted "Conversation piece" azaleas I ordered arrived on time and were mostly healthy. The 2.5 quart azaleas I ordered were less healthy, being somewhat mangled by the transit in their boxes. Almost all the azaleas I ordered have some damage to the limbs, including the "conversation piece" azaleas. However, the plants all looked as though they began their journey healthy from the nursery, they just looked as though they were a bit "worse for the wear" due to whatever happened to them in transit. This is not always the case as I have ordered many unique and rare "National Plant Network" plants from Tractor Supply that have arrived in a box and were in perfect condition. In this order it seemed as though the plants that were shipped 1 per box tended to be in better shape. The plants shipped 2 per box were mostly mangled as though they had been put in a tumbler for a few days. Hopefully they will all grow and mature into beautiful shrubs, given that they all seemed to be well taken care of prior to their journey in a cardboard box. We will see in spring.
