This plant was part of a batch that suffered a lot during delivery: it "wandered" for several days in the delivery truck and arrived somewhat crushed. Despite being planted under the required conditions, it did not survive. Response from Promesse de Fleurs: Dear madam, I apologize for this inconvenience, but you can contact our customer service at 03 61 76 08 10 to arrange for the replacement or refund of the plant.
