Most all the plant resellers give a one year gaurantee, just return
the dead plant with the receipt. Departmant stores will refund your
money but most stand alone plant resellers will return only half your
money. Naturally very few people bother to schlep back a $12 plant,
and even fewer save the receipt. And no one gaurantees plants eaten
by critters. People erroneously refer to many plant resellers as
nurseries, but they are not, they buy all their plants from nurseries
that actually grow plants. When the plants are all out of the ground
it is not a nursery... those are no more plant nurserys than butcher
shops are cattle ranches.
