During Winter and some early Spring shipments, some of the plant materials in this shipment are DORMANT.
This means that even though they have no green top growth, they will grow from dormant buds when temperatures are right. For many perennials, This 'rest period' is ESSENTIAL to good flowering performance in the upcoming season. During Summer/Winter months shipping might be delayed as we only will be shipping on days that we know it won’t harm the plant(s). Monday through Thursday

For extra protection, wrap in burlap. Fertilize in the spring with a 5-10-5 fertilizer. Prune only immediately after flowering as flower buds form on old wood. Foliage may be toxic to some degree if ingested.
NOTICE: many of our plants and trees are shipped in a dormant condition. If you receive in dormant state soak overnight before planting. In general, these items can be planted anytime your ground is not frozen. Early snow or frost will not harm a nursery stock item that is already dormant. On the other hand, these items can also be planted during warm weather--simply be sure to water well.
