How we Grow and Ship Perennials

With perennials, our mission is simple: provide high-quality, large, garden-ready plants at reasonable prices. We want our customers to buy from us once and make us their first stop for every purchase after that.

How We Grow

Our perennials are sourced from the world's leading providers of young plants and grown to garden-ready size in one of our two greenhouses. On average, we cultivate around 4,000 perennials each year, starting them the prior season to ensure they're mature and robust when they reach you. We ship two-thirds of these plants to customers across the eastern US, while the remaining third are purchased by our valued local customers. They do sell fast, so order early.

Our Shipping Process

We take shipping seriously because we know how important it is that your plants arrive in perfect condition. Our process begins by carefully collecting all plants and ensuring they have the optimal amount of water for their journey. We then move them to our shipping staging area for final inspection.

After we've verified each plant meets our standards, we place them into protective plastic bags and boxes. We use our patent-pending (we filed that patent, right Emily?) "Ross Box-in-Box" technique to ensure plants aren't damaged during transit.

We then prep them for our UPS pickup (show your driver some love ❤️).

What Our Customers Say

We love our customers and are proud to say they consistently praise both the quality of our perennials and our careful shipping practices. As one satisfied gardener shared, "I have been ordering plants online for years from several different suppliers. I must say these are the best plants I have ever received. I really appreciate the size of the plants. Instant impact in my garden - not having to wait a few years."

Our shipping methods ensure your perennials arrive ready to thrive. One customer noted, "I ordered five perennials (salvias and veronicas) and they arrived super healthy and packaged with amazing care." Another emphasized, "These plants came beautifully packaged, healthy, and mature for their size! Affordable and fast shipping, I will definitely be purchasing from New Blooms again!"

We ship all perennials in eco-friendly root pouches, with free shipping on orders of 8 or more plants. Our careful packaging ensures that plants arrive in excellent condition, as one reviewer confirmed: "Very well packaged, arrived in excellent condition. Will definitely patronize again!"

Shipping Restrictions

Due to Japanese Beetle restrictions we only ship perennials east of the Mississippi river (sorry western customers - dang bugs!). We do ship trees to most of the US.
