Shipping Information

Shipping Methods & Planting Info

For the most accurate ship date, please reference the date shown at checkout.

Your plant order will arrive fresh and ready to plant. We use UPS and the US Postal Service. Orders may arrive in multiple packages.

Plants are grown in New Mexico and Utah and ship from our Clinton, Utah greenhouse. Grass plug orders ship from Nebraska, and Wildflower & Grass Seed orders ship from Vermont.

You'll receive a shipping confirmation email when your plants ship. Most plant orders arrive within 2–6 days of leaving our Clinton, UT greenhouses, depending on the destination. We pack plants to withstand up to 10 days in transit in the unlikely event of a delay.

Open your box right away. Refer to our Planting Guide for transplanting tips.

We cannot ship live plants and bulbs outside the contiguous United States. We can ship wildflower seeds, seed packets, and hard goods to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.

Shipping Rates

Live plants require careful handling and packaging. We use a variety of methods to ensure your order arrives efficiently. If your address does not allow for both USPS and UPS delivery, please contact customer support at (801) 769-0300. Our shipping rates reflect average costs, regardless of where you live or how many shipments your order may require.
