Live Aromatic and Edible Herb - Lemon Balm (4 Per Pack), Naturally Reduces Stress and Improves Air Quality, 8" Tall by 4" Wide

I delayed this review in order to give a full and accurate review. Ordered March 28, 2024. They looked to be in ok condition when arrived. Some leaves were dry and had signs of distress. I immediately repotted them. Each planter had two plants so I potted a total of 8 plants. One died completely but overall the survival of 7 is pretty darn good for $25. The original leaves don't look very healthy (see pics) and I prun those off little by little as the new growth comes in. I would not recommend leaving them in the original soil. My little trees are looking great after only one month! I do fertilize, full sun and rain water has them growing like crazy. I'll give this purchase a 5.

All the plants died, so I reached out to the seller The Three Co. with pics of plants. They referred me back to Amazon, but by this time the 30 day return window was closed. Amazon refused to help me even after I provided all my correspondence with the seller, showing that I reached out to them before the 30 days. Amazon then told me to contact the seller again and now after 3 additional emails to The Three Co, they have completely ignored me. 🙁 I

I wanted to upload the pictures of how the plants arrived and what they look like a week later, but technology is not our friend. Sigh...The 2 boxes arrived neatly taped together, but one corner was badly dented, so I feared the worst. However the plants I unboxed, while folded over from being so delightfully tall that they didn't quite fit in the box were lovely, healthy, and GREEN. I got 8 lavender plants, so you can imagine how wonderful the kitchen smelled. The roots were MOIST, so I worried, because lavender and damp don't mix well. But the stems and leaves looked good, not water rotted, so I gave my new babies a day to destress near my kitchen window. I'm guessing they were watered before packing for shipping so they wouldn't dry out. The next day I planted in my local Florida fill dirt (heavy clay/sand mix) by giving a double handful of potting soil per plant to overcome the lack of organic matter in the heavy builder's fill and watered lightly.It's a week later, the temps hit 97F yesterday and the little plants are THRIVING! Gave them a little sprinkle alternate mornings if they looked tired from the heat, but they're stretching and reaching for that baking full day of sun my front bed gets and looking happy to be in this climate.I wanted to post a review for this company as I have never ordered live plants before, but the lack of anything suitable for the Florida heat locally thanks to supply chain issues and builders demanding nothing but ugly shrubs in their building frenzy had me despairing of filling my beds with scent and color. Now I have a bank of lovely perfume every time I walk past and I can't wait until things fill out and bloom.I'm in Zone 9(a) on the USDA map if it helps anyone else, I planted in early May the last week the highs were in the 80s, and lavender is a perennial here. My rosemary overwintered nicely, so I see no reason these lavender should not.I'll definitely buy from this seller again.

I cannot fault the seller there were four plants when the plants were shipped, there were rubber bands tied around the plants in transport the rubber band slipped strangulated two of the plants that arrived dry and lifeless - four plants arrived, two were very good and two were damaged the two that came healthy are very nice. Two of the plant survived in a healthy state during transport I’m going to look at the good because the plants that survived are very nice, I think in the future, maybe sending them a different way of securing other than using rubber bands, because they slipped from the base of the pot and strangulated the plants that were wrapped in cellophane I don’t think it’s fair to ask for my money back because accidents happen. The good will come back to me it always does.

When I received the plants They were packaged well And they looked very healthy. Unfortunately within 2 days of transplanting them Half of the plants died And the other half We're also starting to die. The 1st time I got these plants They lasted For over a year. I did nothing different with this set that I did with the last set so I don't know why this happened.

Got them planted. All have survived and are growing nicely.

These grew well planted outdoors, great in floral arrangements. The fact that it was actually 8 plants instead of 4 was quite the bonus!

It’s about what I expected (which was, for half to die). They were smaller than I expected, but the size is clearly listed in the description, I just didn’t really consider it ahead of time. I was expecting two to end up dying and was going to be happy if two survived. Right after delivery I could tell one was not going to make it. I planted it anyway to give it a chance, but it did die pretty quickly. The second one tried, but it died about 2 weeks later. The other two are thriving and doing great, and I’m very happy with them. (All 4 plants were planted the exact same way in the same spot.) They are bright green and smell amazing. I ended up buying two additional lavender plants from Home Depot. The two from Amazon actually look like they’re doing better than the Home Depot ones. I might not be the ideal environment for lavender, but I did do lots of research before hand so they should continue to thrive hopefully. All that to say, don’t expect all four plants to survive. If you plan on 50%, I think you’ll be happy with these.Re the company itself, I was trying to buy directly on their website which claimed free shipping, but there seemed no way to actually do that as it just directed me to Amazon, so I had to pay for shipping on Amazon which was frustrating. Took away a star because of that.
