Young Plants Ordering Details and Policies

Thanks to all of our customers for your continued support! We sincerely appreciate your orders and the confidence you’ve shown in our products and company. As always, we strive to produce quality plants perfectly suited for easy production and successful sales to the end consumer. We’re looking forward to another great season, with lots of new varieties to offer and several new size options as well.

ORDERS & LEAD TIMES

To ship your complete order, we need it at least 1 week prior to the longest lead time for each variety (listed by each plant in the catalog).

• Except when ordering off of availability, all orders are custom grown to the lead time listed in the catalog. Any cancellations or changes to custom grown orders will not be accepted after plants have been sown or stuck, according to their specific lead time.
• Plants noted as ‘availability only’ are in short supply or have a very long lead time, so we may not be able to guarantee a specific ship date. But, we’ll put you on the list and call when plants are available!

MINIMUM ORDERS

• Our minimum for 196, 96, 50, and 72 trays of annuals and perennials is one standard 4-tray box (23”x23”x12”). Tray sizes can be combined to fill a box.
• The 32-cell minimum is 2 boxes, packed 2 trays to a box with dimensions of 23”x23”x9”. Please see page 20 for more information on our 32-cell program.

PLANT PRICES

Our young plants are sold exclusively through our horticultural broker network, so please contact the broker of your choice for current pricing. Many varieties are patent protected and have associated patent fees, royalties, and required tags. Your broker can also provide this information.

DISCOUNTS

• Volume discounts are available on a per-order basis. Orders can span multiple ship weeks but must be placed at the same time.
• Perennial Volume Discount
  50+ trays: 3% discount
  100+ trays: 5% discount
  150+ trays: 7% discount.
• Annual orders have a maximum 3% volume discount for orders of 50 or more trays. However, annual orders can be used to build volume towards your perennial discount. (For example, if you order 60 annual trays and 40 perennial trays, you will receive a 3% discount on the annual trays, but the total volume of 100 trays qualifies you for a 5% volume discount on the perennials.)
• We are happy to offer a custom quote on orders larger than 250 trays.
• NEW 32-cell Early Shipping Discount: All 32-cell orders that have a ship date of Week 8 (2/16/15) or before are eligible for an additional 2% discount. This discount is only valid on the 32-cell size.
