| Q |
What does bare root mean ? |
| A |
Bare root perennials are grown in fields or beds then
dug up in the fall. The top growth and soil are washed off and the root itself is
placed in cold storage. Many perennials are shipped this way due to their root systems
being either to large for pots or because they just do not grow well in pots. To see a
picture of what a bare root perennial looks like please see our perennial plant sizes page |
| Q |
Can you ship my order earlier than the first ship week available. |
| A |
Due to our climate here in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia
we can not safely begin shipping until the week of March 22. It is just to cold here
to risk shipping any earlier. |

| Q |
How long is your guarantee for? |
| A |
We guarantee that your perennials will arrive in a
healthy viable condition. We do not warranty the plants for any given time since the
survival of living plants is dependant upon factors beyond our control. Please
inspect your shipment and notify us within 14 days if you have received damaged plant
material. |
| Q |
What do I do if I am unable to plant my perennials upon arrival of my
order? |
| A |
We strongly recommend that you try to get your perennials in the ground as
quickly as possible. If you are unable to plant, store bare root plants in a cool
dry area such as basement or garage. Preferably an area that stays around 50
degrees. A better solution would be to let mother nature store them for you by
digging a trench in your garden and covering the roots with moist soil. You can then
remove the roots from the trench when you are ready to plant them. Potted plants
will have active growth and will need sun light so make sure you store them in an area
where they can receive sun. |
