Beware of www.greenstranger.com / Threatrum Botanicum
I would not recommend doing business with this website/company. When I purchased the plant, it was too cold, and I was told I'd have to wait till warmer weather (which is understandable) However after the weather warmed up, it took an additional 2 weeks for them to ship my plant, they forgot.
Then, on MAY 4TH, the plant arrived wilted and dead. I emailed them and they agreed to ship out a plant the following week. They did not keep their end of the deal. Below shows the email logs from when the plant was sent, and the dates of the 2 emails I've sent after they said they'd ship me a replacement.
They NEVER sent a replacement, or have replied to the last 2 emails I've sent them. On May 21st I asked for the status of the replacement, with no reply. On June 12th, over a MONTH after I received the original dead plant, I told them that if I didn't receive my Promised replacement, that I would share my experience on salvia forums as you can see below:

I have replied twice to this email, and I have not received a response or a plant. You stated that you can send out another plant the following week, back in the beginning of May.
Please keep up your end of that deal, I did not pay 24 dollars for a plant that was all wrinkled up... that was money that I received nothing in return for.
If I do not receive a reply, I will be sure to post in salvia forums as to whether or not people should buy from you.. that's for sure. I'd like to share my experience with this store online.
Sincerely,
Dave

It wasn't incredibly hot.. but the leaves looked
wilted although the packaging seemed to still be damp.
I appreciate you sending a replacement.
Thanks,

I received my plant (Thursday) and the whole plant was droopy and wilted.. I know plants can droop when they don't have sunlight for a period of time, but this plant is in an unrecoverable state (extremly wilted.)
I am disappointed although I sincerely doubt it's your fault. Please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue to my satisfaction, I would appreciate a replacement since the plant is dead.
