What do I do when my order arrives? 

We ship our bulbs and perennials to you at the ideal time to plant in your area, so it is best to plant as soon as you can after arrival. This way it will give them the best chance to acclimate and establish in your garden.

Live goods, such as perennials, bare roots, and bulbs, should be planted within the same season they are received and cannot be guaranteed if they are stored for an extended period of time.

See our planting guides for helpful tips: High Country Gardens Planting Guides  

Tips For Storing Seeds 

Wildflower and lawn seeds can be stored until the right time to plant. Store them in an airtight container, in a room-temperature area. A dark closet or room is the perfect storage area – just make sure that the seed is not exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.

Seed will keep like this for months and maintain a high germination rate.

Growing & Gardening Questions

Where do I start?  

If you are new to gardening, we are here to help! Our learning centers include helpful guides and inspiration to help you dig in.

What is a USDA Hardiness Zone?  

Knowing your zone is critical before selecting plants because it allows you to purchase plants that will survive the extremes of the summer and winter months in your climate. Learn more and Find Your Zone Here.  

Do you offer landscape design services?  

We do not currently offer landscape design services but are happy to help you narrow down our plant selection online.   
  
We also offer Pre-Planned Gardens, which include perennial plants and a convenient garden layout map to show you where to plant each perennial.   
  
We also offer a selection of perennial collections, which are a grouping of plants that solve a gardening challenge but do not come with a garden map, for those that like to plan their own plantings.     
 

What does deer resistant or rabbit resistant mean?  

Plants that we have given the designation of deer or rabbit resistant mean that that they are less likely to be eaten by these animals. They may have natural defenses like fragrant oils or bitter compounds in their leaves. See our guide to Choosing Deer Resistant Plants.

Deer resistant and rabbit resistant advantages do not guarantee that the plants will not be eaten by critters.  Wildlife browsing habits change from region to region and season to season.  Environmental conditions such as drought, fire, or new development can have dramatic and unpredictable effects on wildlife feeding habits. Animals are also more likely to eat tender new growth, which is why it is always important to protect recent transplants until they are established. Younger animals may also be more likely to “sample” plants they haven’t tried before, and while damaging the plant once, may never touch it again.

See our guide for 7 Strategies For Preventing Deer Damage In The Garden.
