Just planted Estrellita

Although these plants were delivered a few weeks ago I just planted them yesterday in Houston, Tx. They sat in the small nursery pots in the sun where we were still having very hot weather. I watered them every to every other day and they never wilted. This morning they look healthy after a night in the ground. I’m concerned that my clay soil will not be good for them but I am hoping for the best!

Sadly they both died.

I purchased them in fall of 2022. They both died within a few months, unfortunately. I thought they were perennials? They never really took off after I planted them and slowly just died. I planted them in a sunny area, next to my yarrow, chocolate cosmos, and rose bush and they are all doing great so I know they should have survived. Oh well, you win some you lose some! I think most of my plants from this company are really healthy and do thrive.

Hello! We're sorry to hear that you had trouble with your Firecracker Bush. These plants are hardy in zones 8-10. Meaning they do come back each year in these zones. We do guarantee all of our plants. However, our fall warranty expired May 31. We're always happy to do our best to make things right. If you'd like to touch base with our customer service team, you can do so by emailing info@greatgardenplants.com. Happy Gardening!

The plants arrived three weeks ago in somewhat dry but otherwise excellent condition. We watered immediately and then planted 48 hours after receiving the shipment. The plants have taken nicely with no loss of foliage even after the stress of shipping and replanting. We are awaiting the first sign of blooms emerging.
