    Just out of interest. Most nurseries and garden centers etc, offer some sort of warranty with their products. Amazingly some rose growers offer a five year warranty, 'ify!'
    So. Have all the plants that you have bought, 's u r v i v e d?
    Have you complained?
    Have you managed to convince the seller, that all the care was taken.
    Or. Like me. Do you perhaps utter a few expletives and say nowt?

    Lowes and Walmart offers a 1 year guarantee (I think that is the right time). Walmart employees couldn't really care less about taking care of plants. Lowes usually does pretty good. I've actually had to send stuff back to both of them. Didn't have any troubles returning.

    A real nursery down the road offers no warranty but their plants were fairly cheap. I guess you really pay extra for that 1 year guarantee. After I bought the plants, it was my cookie to eat but the plants seemed like they were in better shape from the nursery.

    I don't think I've ever lost a good looking plant but I have bought some bad looking ones, knowing better, and lost that bet. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
