I was a little disappointed by the size of the Echinacea - compared to the other two plants, the Echinacea looked like a sprig of arugula sticking out of the dirt, with two maybe three big leaves and everything else so tiny, that it looked like it sprouted on the way. The plant-info stake thingie is almost as big as the plant itself... Are they supposed to be like that when you order them? Being the first time that I ordered from this vendor and first time ordering this type of plant, I have no idea if the size is normal or not. I'll keep an eye out on the plant, and I hope it will thrive... I emailed the company on Sunday (5/4), but haven't heard back yet.
In all three plants, their roots were extremely bound - they took shape of the container they were in, including the shape of the square holes at the bottom. I got a little worried but decided to loosen up the roots by cutting an "x" at the bottom and wiggling the roots gently around. I hope I didn't disturb the plant too much, and hopefully they will like their new home.
