What We Ship

The Benefits of Bare Root Plants

Bare root plants are shipped without soil or pots, making them lightweight and easy to handle. They arrive dormant, ready to be planted and thrive as beautiful, healthy additions to your garden.

Cost-Effective

With no heavy pots or soil, you'll save 50-60% on shipping costs, and you can easily plant our plants yourself—no equipment needed, just a spade for digging small holes.

Hassle-Free

Bare root plants are hassle-free because they're lightweight, easy to handle, and require minimal packaging. They establish quickly, saving you time and effort in planting and maintenance.

Better Growth

Bareroot dormant plants are more hardy because they adapt better to new environments, with stronger root systems that establish quickly, leading to greater resilience and improved survival rates in various conditions.

Eco-Friendly

Bare root native plants are environmentally friendly because they promote biodiversity, require less water and maintenance, and support local ecosystems, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious gardening

Caring Tips

How do I care for my Butterfly Milkweed?

Each box contains detailed care instructions and information about your product. But here's the basics.

Care Tips

Butterfly Milkweed flourishes in well-drained soil and is tolerant to drought. Water it moderately, permitting the soil to dry between waterings. Prune finished blooms to promote new growth and remove weeds to reduce competition. Mulching around the plant is also beneficial.

Light Requirements

Butterfly Milkweed thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-drained soil and benefits from the bright, warm conditions to produce vibrant flowers and attract pollinators.

Butterfly milkweed

Plants arrived in better condition than expected. They also sent more than I ordered which made my heart so happy as I am working on a butterfly garden and preserving monarch’s in the central Florida region. Once I potted the roots in potting soil they all took off growing almost immediately. I think there is only one that I haven’t noticed much change with so far. But only time will tell. Overall I am so happy and will continue to order more from the TN nursery!

Very pleased

Milkweed arrived very quickly and roots look great but no leaves yet. Planted them right away and then left for 5 days. When we got home all the plants had leaves and had grown so much. I am very excited to see them grow and hopefully have monarch butterflies.

They are growing

I have several different plants in shipping recovery status in this historic drought. They are growing in pots in a tub full of potting soil.
