Remember, the plant you receive will be a starter plant and may vary in size and fullness from the images shown. It will be shipped in its pot and is recommended to be planted in a 4″ pot for the first 6 months to promote healthy root development.
Important Considerations: If purchasing during fall and winter, the plant may arrive dormant or semi-dormant, with few or no leaves. This is perfectly normal, and the plant will begin to grow new leaves in the spring. We ship plants on Tuesdays and Fridays and answer messages on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure you can retrieve your package promptly upon delivery to avoid damage from extreme temperatures. We ship only within the United States.
We take pride in providing healthy, well-rooted plants. In the rare event that your plant arrives dead or badly damaged, please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery for a replacement.
