BEAUTIFUL PLANT! Looks like picture shown , full, green, 1/3 of flowers already blooming, with more working on it. Hummingbird did flyover while I was unpacking plant!
This was a gift for my Sister in law! I was nervous with it taking 4 day delivery thinking it would look terrible. Well, I was totally wrong. It looked beautiful! Very pleased. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
The excitement I felt when first seeing this Duranta in full gorgeous bloom is indescribable. Both flowers & foliage are amazing. The plant arrived without shipping shock. That in itself is always something that makes me very happy. The Duranta is healthy, perky, without any discolored leaves, disease, virus & insect free. Packaging was in professional carton, so Duranta was well protected and undamaged. Shipping was excellent. I was so happy I sent a text saying thank you shortly after seeing plant. As it so happens, Duranta arrived in a period of unforeseen medical crisis. This very special plant will give me unbelievable joy to focus on rather than personal hardship. Plants are so uplifting, but also a reminder of resilience in face of adversity. I can’t begin to thank you enough for this wonderful plant. ??????????
Can’t wait for flowers to bloom.
Lush, healthy, green plant. Exactly as promised. Repeat customer, recommend & will buy again. Five ?service.
