I cannot guarantee the success of any plants as growing conditions vary for each grower.

-

Plants purchased in fall, winter or early spring may appear shriveled, discolored or abnormally small. This is because they are dormant. Cuttings and young plants will still take root or become established if given the proper care. The cutting you receive will be a single stem from the plants pictured.
