Plant Labels
We are happy to supply full color plant labels for every plant listed in our current catalog. These stake-style labels are sized nicely for 1-gallon containers, measuring 2″ wide x 6.25″ tall. Their cost is $.17 per label and they are sold in bundles that match the number of plugs per flat. Please indicate if you would like to purchase labels when you place your plant order. We are required to send plant labels for all patented plants; these will automatically be added to your order. All labels are shipped in the box or rack along with your plants.
Shipping Information
Rack Shipments
Our durable wooden racks are ideal for larger orders of 30+ flats. Racks offer more protection than single boxes in shipping and are generally less expensive to ship. In addition, they allow for quick and easy unloading with no cardboard waste to discard.
Boxed Shipments
Many of our smaller orders are shipped in sturdy cardboard boxes via UPS. Standard boxes contain two flats of 32s and three flats of 72s. We also have a box for single flats when necessary. UPS Box Charge: $3.20/flat

Shipping Late Dormancy Items
From our experience over the years, we have identified specific plants that naturally break dormancy late in spring and can be problematic if shipped too early. To ensure you receive healthy, actively growing, easy to handle plants, we will not ship late dormancy plants until early to mid-April when they have resumed active growth. When processing orders with requested ship dates prior to April 1, we will automatically create a separate acknowledgement for late dormancy plants. The ship date for these items will fall between April 1–15 and these orders will be sent once we are confident the plants are actively growing.
