Not sure, Ken? They were mail order from Oahu in the heat of summer.They were Pink Pansy, a hardy variety in Hawaii. After the first rotted, they gladly replaced it. I blamed that one on the massive amount of rain we had. Then the second one started to rot almost immediately. I wrote to the seller a second time and never heard from him. I quickly cut off the rotten part but I guess I was not quick enough. I planted it gently in half and half soil/perlite tryig hard not to disturb the roots. Not sure if it was me or the plant.
