The plants we ship are bare root and dormant. They have no leaves, blooms, greenery, or foliage. We do not ship plants in a container. Why pay 500% more for a container and heavy soil to be shipped? Also, dormant plants have a much higher survival rate than bloomed-out or leafed-out plants. We ship healthy bare-root plants because we know they will thrive in this state when planted. That's Why we offer a 1 Year Guarantee. We know when Spring time rolls back around, your plants will do exceptionally well.
