Product Details
This planter for naturalizing has all of the virtues of the Bulb Planter for Borders (rugged steel construction, a red finish for high visibility, and a lifetime guarantee on its performance and durability), but it's specially designed with a bend in the blade to offer better leverage for planting bulbs in unprepared, even inhospitable ground—in the lawn, in a meadow, in the woods. At the business end is a notched, 2½"-wide blade that slices easily through compacted and rocky soils. Drive the blade down with your foot, pull the handle toward you, then push it away, and you've created a hole the ideal depth for planting most Tulips, Daffodils, and Lilies. After the first few tries, you'll find a rhythm that will let you plant a hundred bulbs an hour. It goes even faster with help from a friend. The planter measures 38" tall, weighs nearly 8 lb and is painted bright red so you can't lose it. This rugged tool is guaranteed forever. Exclusive.
Shipping
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.
