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 bought the orange milkweeds a few months ago and still don't see any growth. I contact customer service and they are very patient and nice to help me with my problems.
Received this plant over a month ago and it was very healthy-looking with moisture evident in the bag. Planted and as the description states, it took about a month before I saw any growth pop out of the ground. I shall write a review later after it has grown and flowered.
I received a healthy root. Still waiting to see if it grows.
