Lichtenfelt Nurseries

I recently purchased 2 variegated Japanese Fatsia (Fatsia japonica ‘Variegata’) about six weeks ago. Both were planted in a shaded garden bed with several other new plants, both planted about 8–10 feet away. All of the other plants, including the twin are doing very well. One particular plant began wilting a few days after planting and has continued to decline. The leaves droop noticeably, even though the soil moisture is consistent with the healthy plants nearby. I recently dug it up to inspect the roots and found a dense mat of very fine white roots circling only the bottom of the root ball, with very few roots extending out the sides into the surrounding soil. I replanted it carefully, but it is still wilted. Based on the photos, do you think this is transplant shock, a root-bound/root establishment issue, or could there be another problem? Would you recommend replacing it, or is there something else I should try first? I did try to use the website to seek advice as well.

After a not so stellar experience at a different local nursery, we decided to take the 35 minute drive to Lichenfelt - let me tell you, it is 100% worth it! We were immediately greeted when we walked in by several associates. We decided to just walk around ourselves for a bit before asking us for help. The staff was extremely helpful and provided clear directions and a map (this place is huge!!!). The landscape of the property is gorgeous and there is plenty of shade. We would have stayed for longer if it wasn’t so hot, but we will definitely be back once it cools down a bit to pick out a couple trees for our yard. Amazing staff and selection - skip the rest and head to Lichenfelt!

Lichtenfelt Nurseries is the best! Hardy plants, vast selection, and great prices. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The Design Center is great to work with (super happy with Veronica and Cortnie!). This is definitely my go-to place for everything landscaping!

Connor was super helpful with getting a plant list together for a recent install our company did for a client. They had a quick turnaround for getting plants in stock and had good substitutions for plants they couldn't get because of the time of year. The quality of the plants we received was excellent!

Our first time visiting this nursery and we will definitely be coming back! Everything was so well taken care of, the staff was attentive and helpful to any questions we had. Loved walking the entire nursery, we had to leave or we would’ve have bought everything they had. Can’t wait to come back and refer some friends!
