PLEASE NOTE: All plants ordered after 8/25 are shipped the following Spring
All plants are (at least) double fans unless otherwise indicated.
Our Culture Methods:
We'll be forever in the process of developing a fully organic bed soil. Starting with a hay pasture, we've tilled our beds down to 24" and added composted horse manure, sawdust, mulch, and chicken litter each year since 2007. No chemical fertilizers are used here anymore. Though we have no real problem with Rust in our area, we are on a rotational spray program of Heritage, Headline, and Daconil Ultrex as a preventative. We spray a few times for aphids and thrips, but only if the population is beyond what nature's predators can handle.
Here's our new subterranean irrigation system, in action!...
State Ag inspections are passed with flying colors regularly here (which include testing specifically for puccinia hemerocallidis and nematodes). NC Licensed plant "Preferred Vendor" as of 9/05. All outgoing plants are completely submerged in a combination of systemic fungicide and bleach prior to shipping.
Only mature fans are counted for all sales. Smaller/extra increase is not divided off when lifted... yours to keep! We do NOT chop the roots to smithereens, and send only fully-rooted plants lined out at least 4-6 months prior to shipping. Here's what you can expect (photo to right)...
In many cases, we have several sizes of the same plant lined out for sale (from 1 to 4 fans). If there is any questions you may have regarding what's currently available, please don't hesitate to call directly.
Payment:
All major credit cards, Paypal, or personal check/money order within 10 days of placing order are accepted. Beyond 10 days, plants ordered will be returned to inventory for sale. Cancelations of a paid order result in a 75% cash refund, less any Paypal or credit card fees (if applicable).
Shipping Info: General cultivars are double fans (DF's) unless stated otherwise in plant description.
Domestic Shipping is via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day). It is not our responsibility if plants are delayed by the USPS. Shipping charge is $9 for the first plant, $3 for each additional. Combining orders is no problem!
International shipping standard method is via USPS Global Priority Mail (contact us for FedEx option): $300 minimum order (not including shipping cost), payable using Paypal or credit card, in US$ (no checks). Shipping fee is $8 per plant. Phytosanitary Certificate fee has been raised to $60 as of 10/09. Plants shipped abroad will be sent out only twice per year... the 2nd week of May, and the 1st week of September. It is not our responsibility if plants are unduly delayed by the mail service or customs. Plants are certified healthy upon inspection for Phyto Certificate and departure, which is all we can do. Additional measures are taken prior to shipping abroad to help insure the plants survive the increased transport time.
Our years of operation afford us the knowledge of just how to produce plants of the finest quality for folks to enjoy for years to come. Happy healthy plants, from a happy healthy place!...
