Please include any special instructions or delayed shipment date in the Notes Section during checkout.

 We are committed to sending
you the best plants available. All of our plant items are carefully identified,
packaged and shipped. Most of our plants are shipped bare root and should be
unpacked immediately, and either potted or planted. We ship most plant items to the 48 contiguous United States. Orders destined for AZ, CA, OR, or WA are
treated with low toxicity pesticide per state regulations. See below for Canada, contact us for shipments to other destinations for minimums and terms.
Paid in Full Orders placed by 12:00 pm on Friday, as a general rule of thumb, will be shipped the following Monday or Tuesday, subject to weather and backlog . Orders received in March, April and May may anticipate a one to two week delay due to volume. See Shipping Schedule below for orders placed during winter months. If you have a specific desired shipping date, please let us know and we will attempt to accommodate your request.
Shipping charges
gray states - $6.00 for the
first item plus $1.00 for each additional item,
red states - $6.40
for the first item plus $1.40 for each additional
item,
blue states -
$6.60 for the first item plus $1.60 for each additional
item,
Canada (bare root only)- $18.00 for the first item plus $1.00 for each additional item,
unless an additional amount is also noted (for example base rose rate is $2.00). We could choose a cheaper shipping
method, spend less time carefully preparing your plants for shipment and lose
less money to ensure that your plants arrive safely, but our accountant would
not sign off on our delivery guarantee statement.

up your plants at our Nursery ---
