These are horrible. I tried two different plants. One I grew in a pot. The second one was planted in the garden. They both would not grow.

I ordered mine online and they sent plug-sized plants. They are very difficult to grow. If you must have this plant, it is advisable to try and find a gallon-sized plant.

Update: I gave this plant one more chance. I bought one more and it is now growing, but very very slowly.
