HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Better than imagined

I have been admiring this plant for years after seeing it on Pinterest. I decided to treat myself to one last summer and absolutely LOVED it. It surpassed my hopes and I enjoyed it even more than I expected to!

Kent Beauty!

I have been searching for this for two years, garden places run out so early. Happy happy to find them at WFF. They were so lovely in my garden, at the bottom sides of the front steps.

Gorgeous

I planted these for the first time summer 2016. They are beautiful. The delicate blossoms are unique, delicate, and a showstopper. A fabulous find.

Plant Oregano in a sunny, well-drained spot. For container-grown plants, water when the top 1" of soil is dry. The pungent leaves are delicious both fresh and dried. Greek Oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum) needs little care beyond cutting down the stems during fall cleanup. Hardy in Zones 5-9.

Ornamental Oregano

Ornamental varieties are valued for their handsome flowers and foliage rather than for culinary use. The showy, aromatic flowers bloom from summer to fall. Plant in full sun in average well-drained soil amended with grit or sand to ensure good drainage. This is particularly important during cold weather, when plants are dormant. Prune back winterkilled stems in spring.

Growing Ornamental Oregano Indoors

Plants need full sun (6-8 hours a day)a south window generally works well. Cool temperatures, 60-65°F, are best. Water plants only when top 1" of soil has dried out. Fertilize monthly, April-August only.
