The Plants were in great shape when I received them and I couldn't wait to plant them. I planted the way that was recommended and unfortunately they died.I kept them watered. I was really disappointed. I can't blame you the growers as they arrived in good shape. I don't know what went wrong. I am not giving a rating it would not be fair to you the growers because the plants didn't make it. But as far as the packaging receiving the plants when expected and the shape of plants when received you would get a 5. Thank you
