    Not telling friends, but will tell you. I ordered 3 roots. One was dead, two alive. One did well - blooming now, but the other one is about 4” tall … struggling. Both planted in the same area with same growing conditions.

    I had wanted a David Phlox for several years, but had not found one in from Eden Brothers. It arrived quickly, I planted the bare roots right away, they were up and growing within 10 days, and are already blooming. I love, love this plant.
