2 Gallon FIRST EDITIONS Eclipse Hydrangea Shrub

My hydrangea arrive today, a little wilted from our 90+ degree weather this week - plus a little more heat inside the delivery van - but totally robust. I was astonished by its blooms. Gorgeous! Beautiful maroon flowers with complementary chartreuse centers and beautiful multicolored leaves. When I first saw them, I thought of TAMU friends. These plants would make a perfect gift for flower loving Aggies.The size of the plant is larger than most plants shipped in pots this size; a great value for the money and color. The plant arrive healthy and well packed. I would offer the growers more stars if available.

Beautiful healthy 2-gal Eclipse hydrangeas received early May. No transport stress. Packaged very well. Several were in bud and even a few blooms. I couldn't be happier. The plants are also, thriving planted for two weeks now at our new home. So much still needed as we establish an entire new landcape but these plants are already providing a pop paired with green leaved White Wedding hydrangeas centered in a dappled shade island bed next to Sunshine Ligustrum shrubs on each end that get 6+ hrs full sun and Blue Lithodora. All bordered by variegated Liriope and Aztec grass.

Both hydrangeas that I purchased from this nursery arrived in great condition and were very healthy. I was disappointed that this one was not in bloom - the first one I bought had three huge blooms on it and is still blooming. I should be patient. That said, I highly recommend this nursery.

This plant started to wilt after just two days of receiving it. I brought it inside to put it under row lights and to try to see why it was wilting. When I lifted the plant up in the pot, I was surrounded by bugs that flew out out of the soil. There was a larva everywhere. Millions of bugs. I had to buy products to treat all my indoor plants because these bugs got on everything. I tried to get a refund, but they will not refund this item. I went ahead and treated it more and planted it, but it was way past being able to fix. You can see in the picture that I used diatomaceous earth.to try to treat the soil and the leaves. Nothing I did could save this. I am a very experienced gardener and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this. It’s horrible and I’m so disappointed that I can’t get a refund or a replacement.

Received them they looked brown and dead. We planted anyway hoping to revive them.

I took a chance on these after another order fell through and I’m glad I did they are beautiful. A great size and very healthy and you can’t beat the price on these. They came in as very healthy plants so now I’ve just got to keep them alive 😆

So originally I rated this five stars because I absolutely loved the first plant I received. I loved it so much I ordered another. Well the second one came sad and damaged. I’m very disappointed with the second plant, I’m not sure it’s going to make it. I will baby it and hope it makes it but the jury is definitely out on it.

I only wish it was evergreen otherwise it seemed to hit the ground running. I'm using it to smother unsightly weeds around a shallow rooted tree. It seems to be quite happy there.
