You will receive the specific plants pictured in this listing. Because these are living, actively developing plants, they may gain or lose leaves between the time the listing photographs are taken and the shipping date. Their appearance at shipment therefore may not be identical to the photographs.
These starter plants are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots, but the pots are NOT included. They are shipped with protected plugs around the roots. Do not unnecessarily remove or disturb the plugs immediately after delivery. USDA requirements can differ when plants are imported into the United States depending on the commodity, origin, and growing medium; this listing assumes lawful U.S. nursery inventory rather than an international import shipment.
Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
