I like Anthony Waterer Spirea and my local nurseries don’t stock them. Pixes Gardens ships them to me in Texas. They arrive healthy and not stressed. Good job!

I received the plant, it didn't do well in shipping. I planted the plant and it kept getting more brown. Not sure what to do about that, but I'm a little disappointed.
