Shipping charges

We charge a flat rate of $18 per shipment. Shipping live plants is careful and often painstaking work. This charge helps to cover the time it takes to prepare your plants so that they arrive in great condition!

Shipping Seasons

With the exception of bare root orders (see below), most orders placed during our spring preorder window ship around the middle of May, unless noted otherwise on the product page. Orders placed after May 31st ship in mid-September. You will receive an email with tracking information when your order is on the way.

Bare Root Plants
If you order bare root plants you may receive your order in separate shipments at different times than the rest of your order. See the product page for additional information on bare root shipping dates. Some bare root plants need to be dug and shipped in April and October.

Local Pick Up

If you are a local customer and would like to pick your order up in person, simply select “local pickup” during checkout. You will be notified by email how to sign up for a pickup date and time a few weeks prior to the pick up window opening.

Don’t let the name fool you—this goldenrod isn’t golden at all. Solidago ptarmicoides, more often called upland white goldenrod or prairie aster, offers crisp white blooms that resemble small daisies, rising above stiff stems and narrow gray-green foliage. Blooming from late summer into fall, this species brings a fresh, clean contrast to the warm golds and purples of the autumn prairie.

A tough, drought-tolerant plant native to dry prairies, glacial till, and gravelly hillsides, upland white goldenrod is at home in lean soils and full sun. Our seed source comes from well-drained upland remnants in west-central Minnesota, making this ecotype especially well-suited to xeric plantings and restoration projects in the Upper Midwest.

Pollinators love it—especially bees and late-season butterflies—and its tidy, upright form makes it a great choice for formal native plantings as well as naturalistic designs.
