We use generally accepted cold hardiness zone information for each plant. This does not consider microclimates created by altitude, rainfall or directional location. In any given year temperatures can fluctuate a full zone, up or down. Such factors as lack of snow cover, early or later extremes and protections from mulch or buildings can also have an effect. If you have questions about plant hardiness, we encourage you to contact your local County Extension Office. Warranty/Package/Shipping: We usually ship within a few days after payment is received.

Once the plants are received, they need to be taken out of the boxes immediately and watered, but not left in water. If there is a health problem with a plant upon receipt, we will refund the price you paid for that plant.
