This Basil plant was picked and brought out to my car as a pick up order which I was pleasantly surprised to find nothing less than I would have chosen to buy if I'd done the picking out myself. The plant itself was full and beautifully covered in deep green healthy leaves. Upon replanting I found it to easily be divided into 2 plants which have thrived even after enduring yet another replanting into my tomato plants pot near to its base stem area. I placed one in each of my tomato plants in containers and have had no negative effects except the full sun exposure being a bit too excessive for them to which I just added a shade to take away that negative reality with no adverse affects noticed as a result. I definitely recommend buying plants using pick up/delivery options as I have done. Walmart employees have done a remarkable job for me and I'm certain you will agree when you choose their great service choices too
