Pre-order FAQ
When can I get my plants? Pickup and shipping start the week of May 11, 2027. We'll email you when your order is ready.
Why do I pay now? Paying in full holds your plants. Many named cultivars are limited, and this way the ones you picked are kept for you and not sold to someone else in the spring rush.
Does pickup cost anything? No. Pickup at the nursery is free.
What's the difference between pickup and shipping? Pickup plants come in 3-gallon grow bags, growing and ready to go in the ground. Shipped plants go out bare-root, meaning the soil is removed. Plant-health rules meant to stop the spread of fire ants and other invasive pests limit shipping plants in soil, so every shipped plant goes bare-root. Daylilies handle it well. Just plant them soon after they arrive.
How much is shipping? It's calculated in your shopping cart before you pay, so you'll see the exact cost up front.
Do you ship to my state? We ship bare-root by UPS anywhere in the contiguous US (Mondays and Tuesdays only). Pickup orders are pickup only. See our Shipping & Pickup page for details.
What if I can't come the week of May 11? That's fine. That's just when pickup starts. Come by any time during open hours, or call to set up a time on another day. We hold pickup orders for 30 days from the day we let you know they're ready. After that, the plants may go back into the garden or be sold to someone else, so let us know if you need more time.
Can I change or cancel my pre-order? Yes. Cancel before May 1, 2027 and we'll refund every penny you paid, card fee included. On or after May 1, we'll offer a swap for other plants or a store credit instead. To change plants, just call, text or email us. Pickup orders are pickup only, so choose shipping at checkout if you need it shipped. Full details are in our Pre-Order, Refund & Plant Policy.
What if something's wrong with a plant? You have up to one year from pickup or delivery to let us know. Send a photo if you can, and we'll take care of you.
Can I add more plants when I pick up? Sure. Come walk the rows when we're open. Pre-orders just make sure you get the ones you've got your heart set on.
