Shipment Details
Due to unpredictable weather & seasonal demands, plant availability may fluctuate.
We suggest pre-ordering all live plants. Pre-orders will be released in accordance with the climate zone where they are being shipped. This ensures plants will be healthy upon arrival. If an ordered plant becomes not available at the time of shipment, a "like plant" of equal or greater value will be offered as a substitute.
Prices subject to change without notice.
You may request to have your items shipped before your zone is ready or during times when shipments are being held due to high heat or unseasonably conditions with the understanding that you will waive any warranty for items that perish during shipment.
Plants are shipped in one of three ways; bare root (only root and little or no foliage), as a bunch (several stems or groupings of the plant), or in a net pot (with some foliage) Please note that all plants are shipped healthy with a strong root base.

Order Delivery
Please inspect your package immediately upon delivery - if you are missing item(s) or were shipped incorrect item(s) please email pondplantseugene@gmail.com within 24 hours and include a photo of the plants you received.
Plants need to breath after being closed in a box! Please unwrap the plastic and top cover of the shipping paper to expose the plants to fresh air immediately upon delivery. If unable to plant immediately, place the plants in water in a shaded area. Keep the shipping paper moist lay moist paper on top of the bare roots to keep the leaves from drying out. Please no longer than 48 hours! Your plants have had no fresh air or sunlight, if shipped with leaves they may fall off as a result. A plant potted in a timely-proper fashion will send out new stems quickly.
Your plants will perk up within days of being planted. Some plants will respond quicker than others. Please contact us and attach a photo to pondplantseugene@gmail.com if you have any concerns about your plants.
