We ship within the United States, with exclusion of AK and HI. Tubers begin shipping April 15, 2025.
Timing: We don’t ship early to minimize freeze risks in shipping. Your tubers will arrive with at least one viable eye ( it may not be visible on arrival) and labeled. If a budding eye detaches during handling don’t worry, another bud soon forms at the origin. If for any reason a variety fails in winter storage, expect a refund within a week after shipment of any items remaining in your order. We will not substitute.
Shipping: All orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail. Once an order is placed you cannot add to or subtract. If you want additional tubers a separate order should be placed. Sorry, No cancellations once an order is placed. Shipping cannot be combined on additional orders. We will try but that isn’t a promise.
1-4 tubers $12.40
5-20 tubers $18.40
21-40 tubers $24.75
Local pickup is offered solely for rooted cuttings purchased online. Saturday May 3, 2025 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Make sure we have a current email to contact you. If for any reason you can’t pick up your rooted cutting, arrange someone to dependably pick up for you. We close to the public after that date to complete our planting. I apologize to have to set this as stringent but past experience of requests for pickup customization has proven impossible to accommodate.
Open and inspect orders upon arrival and contact us by email within 7 days if you have any concerns; providing photos of what you received.
Understand tubers are a perishable product; poor weather growing conditions, poor customer care, pest damage is beyond our control and we are unable to refund.
All sales orders are final and non-refundable. Shipping and handling are non-refundable.
Planting Tips: Don’t plant in a wet streak, avoid watering until sprouts are seen above ground a few inches( with exception of a dry spell causing dry soil).
It is important to get them planted as soon as possible after arrival into warm ground temps that are consistently 55 to 60 degrees. It should be past your zones last freeze date. If you can’t plant for a short period keep them in a spot around 50º in the medium they arrive in and lightly mist if needed to avoid drying out.
Know that tubers have individual timelines for breaking eyes. Some will bud early, some late.
