10 young plants ordered in November and planted immediately, they were ridiculously small. It's now the end of April and they haven't produced any flowers... I bought them on sale, but they were still much more expensive than what you can find in garden centres at the moment. I have other areas to landscape, and I really love this ground cover, but I must admit that I'm hesitating to order more.
