The title says it all. I should have purchased at a big box where they'd have replaced them.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Waste

I was a professional landscaper for years. I was beyond disappointed in the size and quality of these scrubs. I attempted to nurse them back to health; however, once we planted them, they all died.

No, I do not recommend this product.
