    Thank you Romence for two lovely Chelone "Tiny Tortuga" plants and the others that I have purchased. I received them in 2 days and was amazed at the quality of your beautiful plants. The prices were just as attractive. My other vendor could learn a lesson or two from you on how to package and ship plants. Since your shipment, I have ended my relationship with my other vendor, so you and I now have a ROMENCE going on. I hope more people discover your greenhouse and buy your plants. My garden loves you.

  • I ordered 3 of these plants, and they looked so hardy and strong rooted when I received them. I planted immediately and they are doing fine. Not quite ready to bloom yet.

    I purchased three Chelone Tiny Tortugas in 2000 from Romence Gardens and all three are still thriving and producing such beautiful hot pink blooms! The dark green foliage is pretty and bug resistant. I plan to purchase more of these gorgeous perennials!
