Anyone order the Cottage Farms Hibiscus Tree?

Mine shipped Friday. They aren't supposed to even get her until Wed. Won't they be dead by then? Seems like it wouldn't be able to withstand more than 3 days of no water or light. Anyone else order?

No, it won't be dead. Plants are sturdier than that. When it arrives I'd put it in a bucket of water for a couple of hours then plant it ASAP. Hibiscus are heavy drinkers and require lots of water.

I ordered 2 of them. I had another one sent to my daughter.

I never pay any attention to when things are SUPPOSED to come.

It arrives when it's at my garage door.

There are several packages at my garage door right now. They're all plants.

I'll get them when I go out to run errands tomorrow. I don't plant them. I have someone plant them.

She'll probably come this weekend if it's nice to plant them. Maybe Thursday or Friday.

She comes when her schedule allows her.

@Annabellethecat66 I hope you have opened the boxes so the plants can breathe until they can be planted. I have tons of little pots on my deck that arrived during the last three weeks, and they are doing fine in the open air.

I swear they always wait till the weekend, then it fly's all over before it comes to you.

I stopped ordering from them because when I would open the box DOA.

I shop local now.......

Yes they are good.

I ordered the Cottage Farms Blueberry Smoothie Rose of Sharon Tree (like a hibiscus tree) and it came in perfect condition. It took almost a week to get here, but when I opened the box, it looked like I had just picked it up from the nursery. Quite surprising, actually.

Hopefully yours will be fine too!

They arrived today! A few broken bud and leaves but otherwise looked ok. I watered them good and let them get some sun. Had to put them in the garage tonight due to possible frost. Thanks for the replies!
