    Burning bush

    Received the bushes in a ti.ely matter and they looked healthy. It was a buy one get one free. As fate would have it, only one has sprouted leaves after 6 weeks. Reached out to customer service. Will see what they do and if they send me a replacement as I have one on each side of my garden.
