Most of our perennial plants are seed grown and
started in either plug flats or sown in drills(as
pictured). As plants mature they are transplanted
into larger plug flats or individual pots as needed.

The majority of our perennial plants are shipped in
pots(as pictured on left). Before packaging we
secure the root ball within the pot using kraft paper
and rubber bands. Soil spillage is kept to a
minimum using this method.

Lastly, the plants are secured within the shipping
box with recycled peanuts(picture on right). These
peanuts are 100% recycled material and are
waterproof. Peanuts fill the void in between
objects constricting the amount of movement
within the box, allowing the plants to be in prime
condition upon arrival.
In a 6' upside down drop the peanuts kept the
plants in the exact same position and condition, as
they were originally packed. While, mail carriers
are not that harsh on packages, we decided to go
the extra mile to insure plants are in top condition
upon arrival.

your area, unless otherwise stated. Starting in April plants are shipped promptly after
order placement.
Summer and Fall Shipping - Plants are shipped promptly after order is placed, unless

dormant perennials at any temperature below 90 degrees.
