#ProPlantTips for Success
While we work tirelessly to provide all the information anyone could possibly want about the plants we sell, it’s a monumental task that inevitably leaves some details out. However, we do provide the base plant facts such as USDA growing zone ratings and highlights.
We always suggest doing your own research when planning your garden with us. Other sources may state information differently or a plant's highlights may have changed slightly in recent years. As a nursery that ships nationwide, we state plant facts based on the USDA Growing Zone Map and thus, do not take into account specific microclimates. If you’re interested in learning about your microclimate, your local agriculture extension office is a valuable resource.
Keep in mind: basic care practices like watering, pruning, mulching, and selecting the right plant for your climate all contribute towards the success of your garden. These same practices also contribute to how plants are presented in pictures and videos on our website. We try our best to show you pictures of what the mature plant will look like once established in a landscape.
Let’s Talk Bareroot
Have you ordered a bareroot plant or are you thinking about doing so soon but aren’t sure what to expect? No problem, it’s one of our favorite topics.
Ordering a plant bareroot simply means it will ship to you in its dormant state without dirt covering the roots. Think about trees outside during the winter - leafless and dormant. This is the same concept. A bareroot tree or bush might shock you at first. Please plant it in the ground, give it adequate water, and watch it break dormancy within a month or two.
Planting bareroot has many benefits such as being a great deal less expensive than their containerized counterparts and because the roots aren’t enclosed in a container, they’re ready to reach into your ground and establish your plant faster.
We will not evaluate bareroot plants for loss claims until it’s failed a scratch test.
If you’re interested in learning more about bareroot plants along with visuals of what to expect, check out our #ProPlantTips article and Videos.
A Note About Container Sizes
The plants on our website are sized using industry-standard pot sizes. These sizes are smaller, though comparable, to true gallon measurements. Container size can be used as an indication of how mature the plant is, however, this isn’t always the case. To see visual representations of industry-standard container sizes, please visit our #ProPlantTip article or Video.
Discounts & Coupons
Only one coupon can be used per order and cannot be combined with other coupons to receive multiple discounts. Credit will not be given to unused portions of your coupon. Coupon codes exclude hard goods, grass plugs, warranties, and shipping and handling fees unless otherwise noted. Coupons must be applied at the time of purchase and cannot be applied to an order that's already been placed.
