We have shipped most of the orders placed since May 1st. There are a handful of locations that are still too warm for the plants. This is the time for planting! We recommend getting your target locations ready as soon as you receive your notification that FedEx has taken possession of your package. That way you can get your purchase safely in the ground. JUST AN FYI: Azaleas are actively going dormant for the winter and have either lost their leaves or are doing so. Do not be alarmed if you see loose leaves in your box. 

We ship plants when the weather is conducive to the plants. As soon as we see nice temperatures forecast for our area and the destination, we will ship orders to those locations. As early as the end of September, we hope to see desirable conditions. Azaleas and woodlands are dormant or going dormant at this time and the rigors of shipping have less of a negative impact. You may see that leaves have dropped, or there may be few to no leaves. Please get your plants into the ground and water them immediately. There is no need to fertilize, but a little fish emulsion is a treat for the roots.

We ship on Monday or Tuesday, but we may hold off sending some orders if the weather along the route may delay the order or it's just not a great planting situation at the destination. Don't hesitate to call us, 828-712-3246, if you have questions.
