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.
