Plant shipments may be worldwide.  International orders require a phytosanitary certificate ($US 65), and may require an import permit and/or other documentation. Arrangements for plant inspector's visit may take several weeks. Plants will be shipped immediately after inspection and should arrive within about one week. It is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange all required import permits and documentation. All payments must be with US dollars. There is a charge for currency conversion.  Send email first to coordinate charges and shipping arrangements. International credit card orders must be pre-arranged via email.  Educational Materials and other non-plant items can be shipped internationally without special requirements. International orders are shipped at buyer’s risk.

Plants are grown in peat moss, not soil. The peat is washed off before shipment and the plants are shipped bare-root, wrapped in sphagnum with a commercial invoice.
