Shipping Season
SEED orders can be shipped throughout the year.
PLANT orders are shipped bare root during optimal transplanting time. Since our plants are field grown, Nature sets the schedule each year as to when our digging season will begin and end. Our Minnesota climate sometimes provides us with April or October snows and/or frozen ground, heavy rains, etc. We fill all orders to the best of our ability depending on conditions beyond our control. Please note that we do not ship plants outside the contiguous United States.

The FALL plant shipping season usually runs from early October to mid November. In the SPRING, plants are normally shipped from April to mid May, with some species available until mid June. Best results can be expected, however, if transplanting is done in April.

Delivery
Our orders are shipped with the United States Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service (UPS) and Spee-Dee Delievery. Since UPS and Spee-Dee do not recognize Post Office Box numbers, it is important to include your street address or rural route number when you order.

Spee-Dee is a local, Midwest carrier delivering packages in one day, once the order is shipped, to customers in MN, WI, IA, North and Central IL, and Eastern ND, SD, NE.

UPS ground delivery takes 2 to 5 days within the continental United States from the time the order is shipped. Please call for next day (red label) or second day (blue label) air costs.

Since delivery to the coasts can take up to 5 days, we recommend that East or West coast customers ordering PLANTS choose UPS “Blue Label” service which provides second day air delivery for an additional charge (see below).

If you need to receive your plant order on a certain day (Monday through Friday), please include your preferred arrival date when you order.

Please assist us in avoiding unnecessary expense and delay of your order.
