All my plants are grown in my own personal gardens, ponds, and woodlands.   I ship all plants BARE ROOT, meaning your plants will be freshly dug the morning I send to you, wrapped in wet toweling, then placed in plastic zip bags for shipping. I also trim the plants back for better shipping, and less transplant shock once you get them planted.  Please contact me right away if you have any questions or concerns.  Once received, please plant immediately.  Any remaining foliage should be expected to wilt or wither when transplanting... THIS DOES NOT MEAN PLANTS ARE DEAD.  Most plants/roots need several weeks to bounce back after transplanting. 

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:  1)  I DO USE PLASTIC ZIP BAGS FOR SAFER SHIPPING
                                                             2) MOST PLANTS WILL HAVE SOME DIRT OR MUD (ESPECIALLY POND PLANTS CAN TEND TO HAVE MUDDY ROOT SYSTEMS)
                                                             3) ALL PLANTS WILL BE TRIMMED FOR SHIPPING
                                                             4) ALL PLANTS SHIPPED BARE ROOT. NONE WILL BE SENT POTTED.
                                                             5) PICTURES ARE OF PLANTS IN FULL BLOOM. YOU WILL RECEIVE PLANTS THAT HAVE BEEN TRIMMED OR CUT BACK FOR BETTER
                                                                  TRANSPLANTING SUCCESS, AND LESS STRESS IN SHIPPING TO YOU.
                                                             6) STATED NUMBER OF PLANTS/ROOTS/CUTTING YOU WILL RECEIVE IS LISTED IN THE TITLE OF EACH AUCTION.
                                                             7) MOST PLANTS WILL BE SHIPPED IN SMALL, FLAT RATE, USPS PRIORITY MAIL, BOX.
