What is a Plant Grow Zone?

The Plant Hardiness Zone is determined by the USDA which specifies the standard by which gardeners & growers know which plants are most likely to thrive in their area. If you are planning to plant a plant outdoors, please ensure that the plant will thrive planted in the ground. If it does not grow in your zone, we suggest planting in a pot and bringing indoors to winterize during the colder months. 

Are pesticides used in your nursery?

In order to keep our plants in peak health, all of our plants are regularly treated with chemical pesticides. While this helps contain and control most common pests and insects, it might also have an adverse effect on beneficial insects and pollinators. It is recommended that all plants be isolated for 2-3 weeks before allowing contact with beneficial insects and caterpillars.
