If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office so that we can help make it right! Plants require proper care & nourishment to adapt to their new surroundings. Unfortunately, if your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn't covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings. Plants are delicate, living things & we take pride in shipping them thoughtfully, securely & with great care. However, once they leave our facility they may encounter issues in transit that we have no control or influence over. Please note that much of our plant material, while hardy, may arrive damaged or no longer viable if shipped in severe weather conditions. Exercise caution & use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. We are proud of our products & our reputation for providing excellent plant material. We strive to keep our prices fair & reasonable & to deliver to you the best product on the market, & for that product to arrive at our customers' doors as pristine as the day it was packed. Please help us to ensure that you receive your plant material in peak condition & ready to plant. Successful gardening requires careful planning, often full seasons in advance. Do your research & plan ahead for the best planting time in your area. Plants with delicate new roots need the best possible head start in getting established before winter, even hardy evergreen varieties. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer & very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions & receives adequate water during the hotter, dryer periods of the summer. Late fall & winter are very risky
