Planting and Care Instructions:

• • Soil: Grows best in rich, well-drained soil with added compost or organic matter. Tolerates slightly acidic to neutral pH.

  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering 1-2 times weekly depending on weather. Avoid letting soil dry out completely.

  • Sun Exposure: Prefers full sun (6 hours daily) but thrives in partial shade, especially in hotter climates to prevent bolting.

  • Spacing: Plant 8-12 inches apart to allow for 12-18 inch mature clumps. Use 10-inch pots for container gardening.

  • Harvesting: Snip outer leaves as needed, leaving inner growth for continuous harvests. Pinch flower buds in the first year to prolong leaf production.

Shipping Live Plants

Live plants, particularly annual vegetables, can be quite delicate. To ensure their safe arrival in optimal condition, we take several precautionary measures:

1. Rigorous hardening off process: We prepare the plants to be resilient enough for their journey by gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions.

2. Application of organic prebiotics and supplements: We treat plants with natural products to enhance their health and vigor before they make the journey.

3. Development of a strong root system: We prioritize cultivating a robust root system so the plants can quickly adapt and flourish upon arrival.

4. Custom packing materials: We use specially designed packing materials to secure and protect the plants during transit, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.

Our live plants are sold in 3-inch pots and can be shipped to all US states, with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington state. We utilize Priority Mail for shipping to ensure a speedy delivery and ship only on Mondays to ensure no plants languish in mailrooms over the weekend.
