When will my Live Pond Plant Order ship?

Unless otherwise discussed for shipping during fall and winter Live Plant orders are held until proper planting time in spring.

Some plants can ship in winter if they are available and you let us know you want them before ordering so we can confirm please: Email us PondQuestions@gmail.com

Submerged Pond Grasses like Vallisneria
Water Hawthorn (the winter waterlily)
Also a few floating plants (all tropical in nature) can ship.
Dwarf umbrella palm, dwarf papyrus, taro (elephant ears) and a few other plants that do not go dormant. Note these wont tolerate cold weather so these are more for southern mild areas in winter.

Spring Shipping is determined by multiple factors and may have a short delay before plants ship, after early June all regions of the USA are shipping within 1-4 days of orders coming in. April and May orders normally have a delay as new orders placed are at the back of our Pre-Order line so ordering early is a great idea if you want to get the items as close to the earliest shipping date for your area as possible.

Live orders also ship when all items are available. Tropical/Annual waterlilies do not get to shipping size until late May or first of June so these can delay orders to folks who want plants in the south early. You can always separate Annual/Tropical lilies into a separate order if you would like a delivery of other plants earlier than this in the south. In the north or central states this is just a week or two past the time the other plants will ship so it makes less of an issue to have to separate into separate orders.

With the exception of Lotus your plants will probably arrive together at the proper planting time for the most cold sensitive plant on your order.

Our live plants are greenhouse grown, shipped in mid to late spring and early summer rate of growth. You and cannot move into cool nights or they are thrown out of whack into dormancy and we will not take order date moving or requests. They are not semi dormant like emerging perennials still enjoying cool soil or water.
