A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown- your baby seedlings will be much smaller and not yet flowering!
We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
