 SHIPPING SCHEDULE: 


 **DUE TO ONGOING PROBLEMS AT THE USPS ATLANTA DISTRIBUTION CENTER, WE HAVE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED SALES WHILE WE SWITCH OUR SHIPPING OPERATIONS TO A NEW CARRIER, OR THINGS SHOW IMPROVEMENT AT USPS.  ORDERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED WILL BE SHIPPED ON TIME (near your last frost date), BUT MAY BE SHIPPED BY A DIFFERENT CARRIER.  WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT WANT YOUR PLANTS TO ARRIVE IN A TIMELY MANNER.**

Plants are shipped March  - June 30 within a week of your last frost date (weather permitting).   Occasionally shipments may be delayed due to weather. You will receive an email when your order ships which will contain the tracking number. Please check your junk mail or spam folder if you do not receive it. Please allow additional time of up to a week or more when placing orders during holidays. Plants are shipped on Mon or Tues of each week by USPS priority mail or UPS. (we may also ship on Weds during our busiest weeks) If you have a specific date you would like your plants to be shipped, please leave a note under the "comment" section on the order page and we will try our best to accommodate you if weather permits. 

Plants will be shipped near the last frost date for your area according to the shipping zip code on your order form unless we are notified otherwise.   If you would like your plants shipped on a specific date, please feel free to request this in the comment section of your order and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes if weather permits (we do not insulate our boxes!)   Please be mindful that most of our plants are not shipped dormant and will not be able to be safely planted outdoors until danger of frost has passed

 We cannot ship live plants to AK,  CA,  HI, OR, WA, outside the continental USA or to FPO or APO addresses at this time due to agricultural restrictions.  


We do our best to package your plants accordingly during periods of extreme heat or cold, but no matter how well they are packaged, plants simply won't survive being left in a hot mail box or outdoors in freezing temperatures for extended periods of time. Therefore we ask that you be available to receive your package and open it as soon as possible after it is delivered. We cannot stress this enough... especially during hot weather, if you are not available to receive your package right away it may be helpful to have it delivered to a friend, neighbor, relative, or to your place of work so that the package will not sit outside in the weather. If you are going to be away, please contact us and we will be happy to reschedule the shipment for a more convenient time.

Plants are shipped in their 3 "deep nursery pots. Identification tags will be included.  Some of the plants we sell look very similar, we take every effort to ensure that you are receiving the plant you ordered.

In some instances, your plants may be cut back for shipping purposes. Plants may or may not be in bloom at time of shipment. Plants shipped during late Fall or early Spring may be in a semi-dormant or dormant state.

Contact Us if you have any questions or concerns once your shipment arrives.
