Growing Tips
Plant in rich, well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture during active growth. While drought-tolerant once established, plants perform best with regular watering. Deadheading is not required, and the plant will continue producing its spectacular blooms throughout the season.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.

Important:

• Report any order issues the day they arrive by messaging us on Etsy or emailing [email protected] with a photo. After 24 hours, no refunds, returns, or exchanges—no exceptions.
• We guarantee plants arrive alive but can’t promise long-term success due to plant nature.
• Refunds are case-by-case. Many plants recover with proper care, so refunds may not be needed.
