Chocolate Chip Ajuga - Carpet Bugle - Miniature Leaves - 48 Plants -1 3/4" Pot

This is less than a year after planting in pretty rocky/clay soil. This is three plugs getting ready to join up

Fifty ajuga plants, two more than the forty-eight expressly offered, arrived at my private mail box in a five-by-ten cell tray. All were alive, and as I write, all are thriving about three weeks later. This is a far better result than I expected from ordering tiny plants through the mail. (The plants at the left and right ends of the five rows were tossed out of their cells during shipment, so although the growers already deserve “five stars” for their product, they could do even a little better by finding a way to secure every plant during shipment.)For purchasers, I suggest being ready to transplant any loose plants immediately on receipt. However, it seems good to leave the rest of the plants in their tray, give them light and water, and let them have twi or three weeks to recover from being shipped and to continue to grow their roots before being transplanted.Having begun now to transplant the ajuga plants that I’ve allowed to continue to grow in their tray, I want to make mention that they seem to have benefited from my inclusion of mycorrhizal fungal spores in their water, as their roots have grown, in a short time, to such an extent that each plant now holds together most of the soil in its cell in the tray. My sources of information about the “mycorrhizal” partnerships formed by most plants and some of the fungi in their root zone have been the book Teaming with Fungi by Jeff Lowenfels and various articles on the Internet for the topic “mycorrhizal fungi.” Many mycorrhizal fungal additives are offered on Amazon and elsewhere, but the one I’ve been adding to the ajuga plants’ water is Real Growers Recharge.

The plants were healthy and well packaged. After about 3 months in the ground they're really springing up! They're beginning to fill in the space nicely! We're in zone 5B, and after one summer they're doing well.

I was skeptical of buying live plants online, but if I were to do it over again from this seller, it would be a no-brainer. The chocolate chip ajuga plugs were not huge plants; they were plugs. But they arrived in short order, and each of them looked very healthy upon arrival. I planted them, and they are still doing very well. The shipping did not compromise their health at all. Just water them when you get them, and be sure to plant them in the next day or so. I was very, very pleased with this purchase and could have never gotten the volume for the same price locally.

The product description was for 48 plants. I only received one plant in poor condition.

I’m always a little wary about buying plants online but these were great. I got them to fill in around a stone pathway. They came in a flat of 50 plugs and all were healthy. As soon as I got them I unboxed them and put them outside as they were a little moist. After I planted them they all perked right up. It’s been a couple weeks now and I can see they are growing and spreading.Edit: I ordered these a second time and again, very good experience. Plants came in perfect condition. Put them in the ground yesterday and they’re looking great. I have quite a large area to cover and hoping this second batch will speed up the process.

I am sorry but I didn't know I had not reviewed these little gems. They came packaged so nice, not a one was crushed, They all looked so healthy and are really thriving in my front yard. I am anxious for them to cover and see how they look. Sorry, I don't do photos; I wish I knew how.

These plants arrived in excellent condition, maybe 3 out of 100 a bit dried out but even they were plantable. So far, they have settled in nicely. I think the responsibility of the grower - seller is to sell you healthy plants, it's up to you to get them to grow ; how each person plants them, the soil - weather conditions, etc. determines the results. I would suggest with any plant to fill the planting hole with Black Kow soil-manure, it gives little plants a great start. Overall I think these plants were a good value, as described, healthy and ready to plant. Would buy again.
