Frequently Asked Questions
How does the program work?
The live plant program is very similar to kits you have seen for ants, butterflies, and other kinds of bugs. Our retail partners order and receive kits containing color plant stakes, directions, garden additions, and a coupon good for 24 live plants to be submitted to and redeemed by Original Gardens.
Are live plants shipped?
Jumbo 3 paks are 2.25" x 3" deep, and sold in sets of 3 plants. The plants tops will vary in height by variety, but if they are taller than 6-8" we normally have to cut them back to fit in our boxes. This does not harm the plant in any way, and actually helps to promote a bushier, fuller plant. Our standard "jumbo" pak will be 6 to 12 months old.
When are the plants shipped?
We normally ship as follows based on the recommended planting time for your area:
a. Zone 3,4-Mid May
b. Zone 5-Late April/Early May
c. Zone 6-Mid to Late April
d. Zone 7-Early to Mid April
e. Zone 8-Mid to Late March/Early April
f. Zone 9 and warmer-Mid to Late March
Due to the weather in NE Ohio, we are not able to ship before the middle of March. If you book in advance, the preceding dates apply. If you order during the season, your order usually ships within 2 weeks, often faster.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a thirty day guarantee on all live plant material.
