Mail Order Information
Although our intention was to only ship bare root hosta, we are now shipping
other plants. Our shipping rates below are a guideline for orders of small to
medium sized bare root plants and a small quantity of larger plants. If your
order is comprised of all larger bare root hosta for example, we will charge
actual shipping and cartoning. Most plants are shipped bare root, including
clematis, and do so successfully. Garden Markers and potted plants including
conifers will be shipped at actual costs. Thanks for understanding.
When you order hosta, they are dug the day of or the day before shipping and
carefully packaged bare root- that is, all the soil is removed and the roots are
washed. The bare roots are wrapped in damp paper towels and secured in plastic.
Finally the plant is wrapped in newspaper to protect the foliage and
carefully cartoned. We have no minimum order size, however, we do have a
standard shipping charge. See below for information on shipping rates.
