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.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Gorgeous!!

I just recieved my order of 5 of these beauties. I can not believe how well pack they were. The arrived in perfect condition, soil was still moist. I am very impressed with how they were shipped and how beautiful the plants are and some even in bloom. Thank you!!

Very healthy arrival

This plant arrived potted, shipped and beautifully packed. We couldn't plant it immediately because of construction near our garden plans. But in a few days it began to actually bud inside! Carefully planted it and not even wilted. WWF is the best place to buy shipped plants. Can't wait see and smell this lovely addition. The hot papaya cone flower and the lily blanca lilies are doing well. LOVE THEM ALL !

So far so good

These were tiny twigs when they arrived and still dormant but I planted them without any special effort - no amemdments or stimulators or potting soil, just plain dirt. They didn't get very big - maybe 18 inches tall so far - but even so they had a substantial number of very pretty white flowers and andlook quite healthy. The scent wasn't as strong as I expected but I think it might be better as the plants mature. I have to say that the only time I had an issue with White Foundlower I found getting through quite challenging but the issue was favorably resolved pretty quickly once I did.

Hardier Than Expected So Far

I ordered three of these plants in spring 2016. They didn't look like much when they arrived, but two out of the three are thriving - no small feat, considering I am in Zone 4 and these are a Zone 5. I didn't expect them to do much their first year, but the two that made it have clusters of beautiful blossoms and plenty of delicate, but healthy-looking new growth.

No Scent

I purchased the Philadelphus Snow White Sensation in September of 2014. The most important reason that I bought it was for its scent as described in the ad. The shrub survived the winter and flowered during the summer of 2015 abundantly. However, the promise of the wonderful scent did not materialize. In fact, the scent was almost nonexistent, which was a big letdown. I would like to get a refund for this purchase, or at least credit on another order. If there is any way that I could return this shrub, I would do it gladly.
