NOTE: Our plants are grown in west-central Minnesota (USDA plant hardiness zone 4) and are best suited to the Midwest and Northeast. We no longer ship to places outside of our two day shipping zones due to unpredictable shipping costs. Please inquire if you are located outside of the Midwest and central US before placing an order. We encourage customers outside of this zone to support local nurseries within their climate! Please contact us if there are specific species you cannot find locally, and we can make an exception. Please review our policies here before ordering.
