Product Details
A plume of vivid chartreuse is surrounded by a colorful cascade of companions in our Festive Fountain Dish Garden Kit.

Displayed together in a ceramic bowl with a coppery, metallic finish, this collection makes a festive fountain of color in any room of the house.

Shipping Info
We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.
Delivery Timing
We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.
In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.
Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery.
Tracking information for each package is delivered via email.
Plant & Container Sizes
We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment.
Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival
It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

EASY STEPS TO PLANT YOUR BOWL OR DISH GARDEN
1. Unpack your package carefully and place all of the contents on a flat work surface.
2. If your dish garden kit arrives without additional potting mix or soil, simply leave your plants in their pots and arrange them in the large bowl. Follow the care instructions below and on our website.
3. If your dish garden kit contains potting mix, place the mix in a separate container, and add water until the mix is moist but not soggy.
3. Place the moistened mix in the planter until it is about 3⁄4 full and make holes in the soil for your plants.
4. Remove the plants from their pots and set them in the holes so that the tops of the plants are level with the surface of the mix.
5. Push soil around and just over the tops of the root balls and press lightly to firm the soil.
6. If your dish garden contains an Amaryllis bulb, fill in around the bulb with potting mix, adjusting the position of the bulb so that the top ⅓ of the bulb is exposed.
1. Take care not to overwater your dish garden. Water gently when the potting mix is dry 1" below the surface.
2. Place your plants indoors near an east or shaded west window where they will receive bright indirect light. A south-facing window is satisfactory if the plants are not against the glass. Please note: Amaryllis plants tend to be taller when grown under lower light conditions.
