From October to April, We ship these plants in their dormant state, but it is the best time to plant. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in PA State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country. When you receive them, the roots will be dry, this is normal. The plants are supposed to be completely dry before re-watering. Please soak them for a few minutes in lukewarm water. Customer Service: Your success is our success.
