MaksMom&Dad: The box has about 20 crowns in it. I planted them all a few days after receiving them, maybe half of them grew. They were a good price. I wish more of them made it but I think that may be my fault for not planting right away.

David/Constance: Ten plants were received promptly and in good condition. Instructions refer you to a website for planting instruction. I planted them in a few hours in bed prepared with lots of compost, with a side-dressing of composted steer manure. Watered them and the spread straw around each plant to conserve moisture. Two days later little sprouts were pushing into the sunlight. I was so happy with my purchase I ordered 10 more!

Linda: Ordered on May 22, delivered on May 30 and planted on May 31st. Crowns looked healthy but did have little bit of mold starting which should not be a big issue since they were shipped damp. No place in the description does it say these are 2 year crowns. I asked and several people answered that they were 2 year crowns. So I ordered them. I know now why it's not mentioned in the description. They were very small for two year crowns. I'm thinking they are one year crowns. So far only six of the ten have come up (very tiny flimsy stalks and only 3/4 inches of growth) and they have been in the ground for four weeks. It's too early to say they are bad but I certainly am not impressed with the size of the crowns or that only six of the ten have shown any growth. Three years ago I ordered 2 year crowns (from a different seller and a different variety) that were much larger and all of them sprouted new growth in just a week or two. I also see from some of the pictures that some received much larger crowns than I did.
A lot of things can come into play when gardening so have not given up on the other four. But, I will probably not order from this seller again unless these crowns perk...

Cooksforfun: USPS shipping is pathetic! Took 8 days to arrive. Ordered 10 plants. They sent an extra 3-4. A couple of the roots were small, but majority were fairly mature. Planted them this morning and just walked out to look and 4 very tiny shoots are breaking the surface of the soil! Hope that's a good sign!!!
