Questions & Comments

Will they grow in Pa?

they will grow anywhere since they are houseplants, you wouldnt put this outside. In a bright windowsill or under a grow lamp inside is best. No fertilizer, no rich soil.

Is it a plant we would be getting or is it seeds?

It is a plant shipped bare root, so have pot and soil ready. A fairly decent sized plant, not a small seedling!

it is the actual plant. It will be shipped bare root, so have pot and soil ready. I wrap the roots in a damp paper towl and put it in a ziplock bag.
