WARNING re: Leptondale nursery

Just FYI I recently purchased alot of annuals and some periennals at Leptondale Nursery on Route 300 in Newburgh. I was told the new owners had made great improvments and the plants were super. I spent this past weekend planting my purchases. Here's the scoop. The plants looked pretty healthy but when removing them from the containers they were rootbound beyound description! The only ones that were okay were the Impatiens. I bought a sweet spire,(Itea Virginica)and it was girdled so badly we had to cut the pot away, the roots were wrapped around the shrub at least 6 times! Buyer Beware. I don't know how they get the plants to look so good when the roots are that restricted, must be heavy doses of chemicals. Even the trailing Verbena that looked so good and lush were trapped by their own root systems. I planted what I had and will be watchful of this $100.00 worth of plantings. I'm a pretty decent gardener but, this was a real fool the eye! Pearly
