We understand what healthy quality plants should look like and our specially designed packaging system will get them from our greenhouse to your doorstep looking as though they were just plucked from the nursery. We ensure that your plants are secured safely in their soil and container. Our specially designed shipping and packaging system will get your plants to you quickly, carefully and easily via the FedEx and USPS to anywhere in the US. We will send an email stating when your order will ship and confirming the order information for verification. Please be sure to check your Spam or Junk mail if you don't hear from us within a day or two from when you place your order. Orders are normally shipped as early as possible each week to ensure that your plants do not spend the weekend unneccessarily in a warehouse. Be sure to get your order and payment in by Wednesday at 11:59PM CST, for it to ship out the following Monday. See our Shipping page for more details.

Tracking Your Shipment: We have upgraded our packaging system so that your shipping address is verified with FedEx or USPS prior to shipping and each package is automatically assigned a tracking number. The instant we print the shipping label for your package you are immediately sent an email that includes your tracking number and a link to the FedEx website (for orders shipped within the lower 48 states or Shipping Zones 1-8) or the the USPS website (for all other shipping areas or Shipping Zone 9) where you can track your package until it arrives safely at your doorstep. If you made the order while logged into our system as a registered customer, you will also have the ability to check the status of your order and get your tracking information from the My Account or Account Management & Customer Service area. Please note that your tracking email will originate from either FedEx.com, @fedex.com, or USPS.com, @usps.com, so please add the appropriate domain(s) to your email whitelist to ensure you receive status updates and tracking information about your order.

Note As of 9/1/2023: Unfortunately due to higher shipping fees and material costs we have had to update our shipping charges. Shipping charges are now zip code-zone based in combination with the number of plant units in your order: plants in 2.25-4.5 inch pots count as 1 unit each and quart sized pots are counted as 2 units each due to their higher weight and size. In an effort to economize costs, the shipping charges are now the same for 1-4 plant units and are then increased in multiples of 4 units each. In other words, assuming all pots sizes in the order are 2.25, 3.5, or 4.5 inch pots, it costs as much to ship 1 plant as it does for 4 plants, and then it costs the same to ship 5 plants as it does 8 plants. By filling the box out the shipping cost per plant will be the most economical.

You can find your shipping cost by clicking the Calculate shipping cost link in the minicart for users on a PC or Mac and from the View Cart page on mobile platforms. Registered customers who are logged into the website will automatically have their shipping costs updated while they shop. Enter your zip code here to find your FedEx/USPS shipping zone, total plant units, and shipping cost.
