*SHIPPING UPDATE* - We're STILL shipping and you'll receive your order in time to plant yet this season! If you can dig a hole, you can still plant a bulb regardless of the climate or temperature outside. Our team is working extremely hard to process and ship all orders current and new. Please be mindful that some are slightly slower to ship due to supplier transit delays, but, we're working diligently to do everything we can to guarantee that your order will ship out as soon as possible. Once your order leaves our facility you will receive an email with tracking information. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your business and continued support!

Weather Advisory

Extreme cold may cause damage to some products. In the event of extreme cold, we may include a heating packet with the product to keep it from freezing. If necessary, we may also delay shipment until it is safe to ship the products. Please be aware of extreme weather conditions when ordering and understand that it may impact the timeframe in which your order is shipped.


Shipping Potted Plants

Our potted plants will ship directly from our California Nursery and will arrive separately from any flower bulbs or products you may have ordered. Our goal is to get your plants to you at the perfect time for transplanting into your garden. Plant orders will begin shipping April 1st to warm zones 8-11 and May 1st for zones 3-7. Your specific ship date will vary depending on when all plants on your order are established and as weather in your region permits. If there is a significant delay in one of the plants you ordered becoming ready for shipment, we may (at our discretion) split your order into two shipments. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate ship date requests due to their individual growth rates and availability.
