Good Root System

I bought the 2 gallon of this plant in the spring of 2011. Came to me in great shape with good root system. I was on vacation in the worst heat wave of the summer and when I came home I thought for sure it was dead as my nephew forgot to water it. Everything had dried up and fallen off. However, to my surprise, the fall, it had new leaves on it and seems like it will make it. I think that speaks volumes of the quality of plant that Garden Crossing sent. I would recommend!

I Want One

This plant is at my local botanical garden and now I want one. It is so pretty. The pink flowering Clethra is in full sun and it looks nice. The bees also like the flowers.
