What to Expect

Our team of gardening enthusiasts carefully prepares each order:

  • Bedding plants and garden flowers are shipped in specially designed containers to prevent damage
  • Fruit trees and shrubs have their roots carefully wrapped to retain moisture
  • Garden bulbs are packed with appropriate insulation for their variety
  • All orders include detailed planting instructions tailored to your climate zone

Seasonal Shipping Notes

For our spring-flowering bulbs and summer-flowering bulbs, we carefully time shipments according to your planting zone to ensure optimal planting conditions. Our seasonal planting guides (included with your order) will help you get the timing perfect.

International Shipping

While we ship globally (excluding Asia and some remote areas), please note:

  • All plants are accompanied by necessary phytosanitary certificates
  • Some countries may have additional import restrictions – check with local authorities
  • Delivery times may vary slightly depending on customs processing

After Your Delivery Arrives
