Beautiful condition

The plant arrived in beautiful condition, very healthy. We got our bed ready, and put it in the ground after letting it acclimate to our temps as suggested. Got some well needed rain today, so perfect timing on getting this in the ground! The plants come with a nice planting tip insert in the package, and there are plenty of resources on the GBP website!
