Our plants we have on sale are speciman quality and freshly dug. These plants are reduced because we either have planted too many and they need thinned out or we need the planting area for other items.No stock is dug from our cheap plants or sale plants section until the order is ready to be shipped. Just because there's some sale priced plants doesn't mean the quality is not there, they are top premium quality like all out other plants we have in our online nursery.
