All roots looked very healthy. They are growing amazingly fast and obviously were happy before shipping.
I was out of town when my order arrived, but I planted the roots within a couple of weeks. It is growing and thriving --- eagerly anticipating blooms and butterflies!
My root ( Butterfly weed) looked dried out and brown. The root weighed very little compared to it's size. I am going to container plant it, and nurture it in my is house green house. We shall see if it does anything....I don't give it much of a chance.
I tried milkweed three ways 1 plant grown, bar root and seed. So far everyone is doing good only time will tell.
The plants arrived in good condition. Unfortunatly, I planted them upside down! There was so much new growth on one end, I thought they were roots.
