BOREAL BLIZZARD HONEYBERRY

For your purchase, you are getting one rooted 2”-3” Boreal Blizzard Honeyberry starter plant. Young leaves will be trimmed off (they don’t travel well). The starter plant will be dipped in water gel, wrapped in wet paper towel and Saran wrapped to retain moisture. There will be no pots included. You may receive your starter plant in recycled box (cracker box, Amazon, Walmart boxes). Plants will be shipped on Monday but no later than Wednesday . This is to ensure these plants not kept in post office warehouse over the weekend. I will decline offer less than $20. You’re trying to save a couple dollars and I’m trying to make a couple dollars. "Never the twain shall meet".

I will replace your plant if you show me a picture of your death plant 48 hours upon receipt of plant. Broken stems does not mean it’s dead.
