I bought these and a handful of other hostas to start a hosta garden in my shaded backyard. First, GrowJoy was so wonderful about scheduling. I wanted to ensure I was in town when they arrived so I asked to have shipment date changed and GrowJoy did exactly what I needed. Unfortunately my whole family got sick the week the plants arrived so I could not plant them right away. And then another onslaught of delays continued (august was not a great month). So it ended up being 1 whole month before I was able to plant the hostas! I am pleased to say that even with that delay they all remained healthy and now (finally) are growing beautifully in my garden. I have never received a bad plant from GrowJoy and even though they have had difficulty/bad luck with contractors and business expansion plans this past year, they have continued to provide the same quality plants and wonderful customer support throughout it all.
