Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

Fabulous plants,/ packaged beautifully,/ growin vigorously.
"Beautiful/plants and a great experience dealing with american Meadows. I'm going to be mentioning you in highly positive fashion on my gardening blog, The Renaissance Garden Guy at renaissancegardenguy. com in an upcoming post. There's already a picture of the gentians I purchased from you on one of my posts. Great experience dealing with you guys - thanks for the beautiful and healthy baby gentians!"
Mixed Results
"I bought three of these plants for me [Maryland] and three for a friend in Chicago. Her plants did well as evidenced by a picture she sent me. Mine did not. I planted in new supplemented soil, watered during a dry hot summer and mine withered. Perhaps Maryland is getting too hot for some plants."
I have a new absolutely favorite flower
"I love everything about this plant/flower! The color is outstanding. It came well packaged & ready to plant. Bloomed a couple days after planting!"
Stunning blue
"Planted four plants this spring and all four have brilliant cobalt blue blossoms. The plants have not experienced a Wisconsin winter yet so hopefully the zone 4 rating is correct. The blue color gets a lot of compliments so if they make it through the winter I plan to get more and plant them throughout the flower gardens."
Will buy more
"Seems to grow fine, not too fast though. It is not bothered by any bugs. Survived the Michigan winter with ease. I want to grow a large grouping in one garden, the blue really catches your eye. Bloomed the first year after planting"
Exactly as photographed
"It is not often the photo matches the flower. Most photos are saturated with color and causes disappointment after the flowers appear. This flower by the late summer matched the photo. It is supposed to get taller. Looks great with Tiki Torch Coneflower. I am getting more this year."
