Deep-rooted natives excel at reducing water runnoff and filtering out pollutants. A rich tapestry of wetland and moisture-loving plants, this kit brings blues in the spring with Irises and Wild Indigo and explodes into the summer with reds, blues, yellows and almost every shade in between. We grouped this kit by color for pleasing symmetry, with a heart of purple and a subtle background provided by delicate sedges.

5 Questions asked on Rain Garden Kit for Pollinators
Potted Plants:
Trays (38 plants) leave our Midwest greenhouse based on species readiness (well-rooted for transit) and based on order date; shipping begins early-May and goes into June. Each of the 38 plant cells are 2” wide at top x 5” deep; ideal for deep-rooted natives. Full-color tags and planting instructions/care are included with each order.
Shipping & Handling Charges:
For Potted Plant orders $50.00 and under: $7.50For Potted Plant orders over $50.00: add 15% of the total plant cost.
We ship potted trays with UPS, and SpeeDee in the Midwest, so we must have a street address. Long-distance shipments (to the East Coast and West) taking 3 or more days are only shipped on Mondays to prevent plants from drying out over the weekend. If you are ordering during the shipping season, please allow at least one week for us to process your order.
Orders ship only when all species in the tray are transit-hardy, and then by order date, typically beginning early May and going into June. Potted plants are seedlings started the previous winter and growth is weather-dependant. Plants must be large and well-rooted enough to stay in their cells during shipment. Our greenhouses are located in the Upper Midwest, and due to the challenges of getting all the species in the Mix & Match and Pre-Designed Garden Kits transit-ready at the same time, we typically can't ship before early May. Earlier shipment requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
*We are unable to ship potted or bare root plants outside the contiguous US or to California due to government regulations.
