• PLANT GUARANTEE:

    Our plants are guaranteed healthy and true to registered name.

  • At American Greenhouses we work hard to ship only healthy, well-grown plants that are in prime condition for successful planting. We guarantee to ship plants that are true to variety and that are healthy, alive and viable when we ship them. We do not guarantee our plants to be successful once they leave our control. However, they should live and thrive if they are unpacked promptly, planted as instructed, and given post-planting care. We take pride in sending out only top quality, healthy plants. Please report any shipping damage or missing items within 72 hours after receipt of your packages.

 

Please understand many bare-root plants will be dormant without signs of active growth when shipped. This is common within the industry. The plants are NOT DEAD & will start growing shortly after planting. Soak plants in luke warm water containing a small amount soluble fertilizer for 2 to 3 hours before planting. This will help plants get established more quickly. If you are unable to plant immediately, store them in a cool (30-45 degree F) area (refrigerator) for a limited time. It is best however, to plant as soon as possible after receipt. If we have made an error please notify us within 72 hours of receipt and we will make every effort to correct any mistake to your satisfaction.

LONG TERM PEONY LIMITED WARRANTY

If your HostaGardens supplied PEONY fails to grow during the first growing season, not to exceed one year from the date of shipment, we will replace it at 50% of the then current retail price, (based upon the prices listed on our website) plus shipping & handling charges. To qualify for this Limited Warranty you MUST return the original plant, and a copy of the original invoice or Ebay packing list, for our inspection.  We reserve the right to reject any claim, or substitute variety of equal or greater value, if the original peony variety is unavailable. Limited Warranty does not apply to perennials and is valid on Peonies shipped AFTER April 1, 2007 ONLY. Prior sales excluded. On the rare chance your plant(s) fails to grow contact us at Jolewflower@aol.com  or at 630-986-1900 for help replacing your Peony.

  • SHIPPING:
  • Shipping Charges:

    Since postage rates increased in early 2006 we are offering a FLAT RATE shipping schedule. Orders are shipped by USPS-PRIORITY MAIL beginning at just $6.75. When checking out, please click on the quantity of plants being purchased. The proper postage amount will be added to your order. Please Note: ONLY H. POTTER wrought iron items have the shipping charges included. These are the ONLY items shipped without additional postage.

  • Shipping Insurance:
  • Buyer assumes responsibility for items purchased from the point when shipment is made. Our loss experience with the USPS has been very limited. However, we do not assume responsibility for shipping losses. We suggest insurance purchase at extra cost of $1.35 for every $50.00 of value. Insurance is not required. You can opt to have orders shipped without it. However, if your package is lost please don't ask us for replacements or refunds since we cannot control the actions of the shipping company. If a uninsured package is lost the best we can do is provide the date of shipment, address to which it was shipped and the USPS-Priority Mail Tracking Number.

  • PLANT DEFINITIONS:

To avoid confusion about what we offer please read the follow information:

 

Definition of #1 Division BARE ROOT Plant:

This is a plant previously ground grown and harvested, cleaned of all soil, graded, and packaged. They are generally roots (Not Leafed Out) and held in cold storage during shipment (usually from Holland) until sold. The #1 division is the highest grade. They break dormancy shortly after removal from cold storage and begin to grow. Almost ALL plants purchased in garden centers, greenhouses, mass retailers, on the web or from other sources started life as Bare Root Divisions of various grades.

Bare Root Plant with Active Growth:

Usually the plants will be the same as above but out of dormancy and showing active leaf growth. This leaf growth will often die back after plant is planted & new growth begins.

DUG TO ORDER plants in active growth :

 

Sometimes, but not always, these can be #1 divisions previously planted in pots or in the ground, dug to order, cleaned and packaged for shipment. They always show active seasonal growth of leaves and are larger than the dormant bare root plants mentioned above. We grow many varieties of Hosta, daylilies and other perennials that are offered from time to time.  These plants will be somewhat higher in cost than bare root plants due to the added labor. 

 

Definition of End Of Season Closeout Plants:

During later Summer / Fall months we often hold "End Of Season Closeout" Sales at greatly reduced prices - often below wholesale prices. Sometimes, our suppliers sell off unsold plants for pennies on the dollar or they might be plants we have not completely sold-out on.The plants offered have been held in cold storage over the summer months and usually do not show active growth. They are viable & ready for planting. They will show full active growth the following growing season. Unless otherwise stated they are bare root. Most perennials can be successfully transplanted in early fall. If properly over wintered, they will grow vigorously the following spring and you'll have a great plant at very reduced prices. You can't beat these deals!

If you'd like to receive an email notice of "Close-Out" bargain plants when available send us your full name & address in an email for the mailing list. Send to Amergreenhouses1@aol.com Please state "Close-Out Plant List" on the subject line.
