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.

Latin Name Pronunciation: pep-per-oh' mee-uh
A large and diverse genus of evergreen perennial plants, many Peperomia species are native to tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Compact, with attractive fleshy leaves that absorb moisture from the atmosphere, they are undemanding windowsill and tabletop plants.
Light: Peperomia is an adaptable houseplant, thriving indoors in rooms with low light, filtered, or bright indirect light. Move your plant to brighter light if growth gets leggy; avoid strong direct sun, which can burn leaves.
Watering: Water, preferably with tepid water, when the top 1" of the potting mix is dry to the touch. Apply water more sparingly in winter. Avoid overwatering or allowing water to sit inside the cachepot or saucer, which can cause root rot.
Temperature: These adaptable plants do fine in typical, daytime household temperatures (65-75°F is ideal). Temperatures cooler than 55°F can cause leaf drop.
Fertilizer: When plants are in active growth from spring through summer, use a balanced (18-18-18) houseplant fertilizer monthly, diluted to half strength.
Humidity: Moderate humidity is beneficial; keep away from radiators and vents that blow dry air from heating or air conditioning systems. Mist a few times a week to increase humidity, set plants on top of pebbles in a tray with water (water level should be just below pebbles to prevent saturating soil in the pot), or run a humidifier nearby. Occasionally wiping leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust is beneficial.
