I hate to buy single fans but sometimes there is just no other way. Even so I have had good luck with any of the single fans I bought, not that I got many that way. The only thing is that it takes them so much longer to clump up because they started with only one. I know I got BASS GIBSON as a single fan but it did well in my garden. Also SWEET ISABELA as I was on a waiting list and a single fan was available. I took it. Doing great now.
