Shipping Policies

NOTE: We apologize, but due to individual state agricultural material shipping regulations, we are no longer shipping to CA, WA, OR

Our shipping season for perennials is late April through October. Seeds are shipped year-round.

Orders are shipped chronologically as they are received and as all plants in the order are ready for shipping. We may ship plants before they exhibit new growth if the root system is healthy and vigorous.

Our plants are carefully packaged to minimize travel trauma. We use recycled packaging to reduce the waste stream and keep our prices low. We ship UPS unless otherwise requested. Most shipments arrive within 2 days in the eastern U.S. We ship Monday through Wednesday so plants will hopefully arrive before the weekend.

Care of Mail Order Plants
When your plants arrive, unpack them and give them a drink if the soil is dry. Store them in a cool place out of direct sunlight until planting. After planting, be sure to keep the root zone (the area the roots occupy) moist until new leaves appear. Once established in the appropriate habitat, your native plants will thrive without constant attention (their motto is: We thrive with neglect!).

Substitutes
If an item you ordered is out of stock, you will receive a refund for that item.
