Care & Planting Guide

After your plants have arrived:

The plants in this box have just spent a lot of time being jostled around in the dark and must be unboxed right away. Unpack the entire box, removing packaging material and plants. Remove any plastic covering the pot and/or soil surface and check if the soil is dry. Water anything that is dry or looks wilted. Any plants that have come unpotted during shipping can be replaced in their pots and their roots covered with soil.

Place plants in a cool, shaded spot out of direct sunlight for 24- 48 hours after unpacking them. This allows them a recovery and acclimation period before planting. If you must hold them longer, place them out of direct sunlight, wind, heat, and cold. Check daily for watering.

USDA Hardiness Zones

USDA Hardiness Zones Map

ZONE HARDINESS

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has devised a system to provide gardeners with a basic guide to plant hardiness – how much winter cold a plant can withstand. The Hardiness Zone Map system divides the United States and Canada into numbered zones based on lowest average winter temperature. Even within a zone, different micro-climates exist, such as large urban areas which may be warmer or land situated at different elevations.

WHAT EFFECTS PLANT HARDINESS

The Hardiness Zone Map is a valuable tool but it is not foolproof. There are a variety of factors that can influence the hardiness of a given plant in a garden. These factors include: soil type, drainage, snow cover, exposure to wind, winter, rainfall (or lack of), as well as fluctuations in temperature.

Survived...........but

Bought a Miss Pearl Butterfly Bush last summer. It survived a cold Wisconsin winter, didn't really start growing till after the fourth of July and it is less than 6 inches tall this year, and has very tiny flowers. I think the butterflys will need spectacles to find it. My annual Zinna's planted nearby are 100 times taller than Miss Pearl. Have decided from now on I will not plant anything that isn't zone 4 hardy, even though I live in zone 5A

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Butterfly bushes are notorious for emerging later than other plants in the garden, especially in colder climates. In regards to plant growth, so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing, all come into play. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!

Quick & Good Shape

Plant came quickly and was in good shape. However since planting it’s been struggling. Hopefully it makes it through the winter. Have ordered many other plants in the past from Great Garden Plants and have had great luck. The rest are thriving!

Really Unhappy

Plant arrived half dead. Trying my hardest to bring the few sticks left back to life. Fairly sure the plant won't make it.
