WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP?
Here is some detailed information about our shipping schedule. We know we provide a lot of information, but we really want you to know what to expect when you open your box of plants.
Non-plant items are shipped year-round.
Our regular shipping season for plants is March through November. Some plants may have shorter shipping seasons so we provide you with those details below. Orders placed in winter [December through March] or outside of a plant's shipping season are shipped in spring at an appropriate time for your area. You are always welcome to select a custom ship date.
Orders placed during the growing season are processed and shipped as soon as possible, usually in 2-4 business days.
Our FREE SHIPPING is possible when we can ship your entire order in one shipment. If your order contains plants with different shipping seasons we will hold back your order until it can be shipped in its entirety. You are always welcome to submit separate orders to avoid delays.
