All photos are of my plants, taken by me, and have not been enhanced in any way. Sometimes that means my amateur photography skills don’t capture the full beauty of the flower. But I do my best, and guarantee that what you see is as close a representation as I can provide to the actual plant performance in my garden.
We use USPS Priority Mail, and generally ship our plants the next day after digging. Our plants are soaked in a weak bleach solution, and then rinsed and air dried prior to shipping. We have never had rust.
Delivery will be buyer’s choice. We generally do Spring shipping during April and May; Fall shipping in August and September. Both schedules depend on Mother Nature’s mood, our time available and your preference. We will work with you if you prefer a different delivery date.
We love being generous! We always include a bonus, but many factors come into play when determining what the bonus will be. If you have a preference, let us know and we will try to accommodate your wishes.
Please note that we are a one and a half person operation. One of us gives 150% of our time, the other one feeds the worker. We are both employed full-time outside the garden, so all the garden work happens evenings and weekends.
Also, know that we garden in Zone 5B/6A. Plants shipped early in the spring will be just coming out of dormancy, and will not have put out all their foliage yet—the roots may be bigger than the foliage. This means less work for the plant to recover after digging and shipping, and faster clumping for you.
We are happy to combine orders to save you money on shipping, so be sure to check out our other auctions!
Payment is expected when auction closes.
