Our website does not offer a shopping cart at this time and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you would like to place an order, simply email your request to: orders@rickscustomnursery.com and we will promptly respond with payment and shipping information.
Our plants are propagated by us or obtained as liners from reliable suppliers, grown on for a year and over wintered in unheated hoop houses. Most of our plants have been frozen all winter and there is no reason to wait for frost free weather for planting. If you can work the soil, they are safe to plant! If any plants you order are sensitive to early planting, we will let you know and recommend an appropriate shipping date for your area. All plants are grown in Quart or Gallon containers, unless otherwise stated. Quarts (Size: 4⅜" x 4⅜", . 96 Liter) Gallons (Size: 6¾" x 7¼", 2.78 Liter)

Order Early!

          Many of the new varieties we have listed are available in limited quantities. As the season progresses, sales at the
          Botanical Garden Fairs where we exhibit quickly reduce our inventory. By placing your order early, the items you've
          chosen will be reserved and shipped at the appropriate time.

(Please keep in mind from April ~ June and September ~ October we are "on the road"
every weekend and it may take several days before you receive a response.)

Checks, Visa and MasterCard are accepted. (We are unable to accept American Express or Discover)

Shipping:

        Plants are shipped in containers to avoid disturbing their roots during the shipping process and ensure minimal transplant
          shock. Container shipped plants also allow our customers some flexibility for planting. You may wait to plant them in the
          garden when it's convenient for you, however they will require daily watering until they are planted!

          We have found U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail to be the most reasonable and expedient method of shipping. Orders are
          shipped the first of the week with guaranteed delivery before the weekend. We make every effort to maintain affordable
          shipping costs for our customers. There is no minimum order and you will only be charged the actual costs of shipping
          plus a $2.00 handling fee per box. If paying with a credit card, your transaction is never processed until your plants are
          shipped. Occasionally a plant's size makes it necessary to use a box with dimensions exceeding the maximum allowed to
          qualify for USPS lower rates. If additional costs are necessary, you will be notified prior to shipping your order.

          NOTE:
          We do not ship WEST of the Mississippi River unless you are willing to accept the risks and increased costs of shipping
          to locations which may take longer than three days. Agricultural restrictions also apply for some states.
