How We Ship Your Plants
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful! We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants!
Beware- not all plant nurseries are the same! Others can cut corners to save money:
- We never ship bareroot plants
- We never cut roots to fit into a small box
- We always ship plants with healthy, developed roots so they establish faster at your home
- We focus on plant health first- not minimizing shipping costs
A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, and we believe your plant should arrive ready to thrive- not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
How we Select Your Plants
Once you place your order, our nursery team selects your plant and inspects it to make sure it meets our quality standards. Every plant we ship is chosen for:
- Strong health and vibrant foliage
- A well-developed root system
- Correct sizing based on your order
We take pride in sending plants that are ready to succeed when they arrive at your home. We try our best to exceed your expectations!
Once your plants are selected, we give them a drink of water before their journey. Then, we wrap each plant's roots up in a plastic bag, so that they do not dry out during shipping.
Carefully Packed & Protected
Live plants can’t be packed like ordinary boxes, so we do it differently.
Your plant is carefully secured inside a strong shipping box to protect it while traveling. Packaging may include:
- Support materials for stability
- Protection around the pot and roots
- Reinforced boxing for added protection
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of your plant during shipping.
Sometimes, you will receive multiple plants inside a box. This is helpful because it can evenly distribute the weight throughout the box, which helps keeps the plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Fast & Reliable with FedEx
Most Nationwide Plants orders ship with FedEx. Over the years, we’ve found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items, because:
- They deliver quickest across the country
- They are the most gentle with live plants
- Faster transit means less plant stress
Once your order ships, we will email you tracking information so you can follow your delivery from our nursery to your doorstep.
We ship Monday through Friday. Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom shipping date.
Multiple Nursery Locations
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This allows us to:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How We Measure Your Trees
We measure tree height from the soil line, not including the pot.
That means when you order a 5-6 ft. tree, you’re getting a tree that is 5-6 ft. tall above the soil, not “including the container.” This gives you a good idea of what to expect when your trees arrive, and what they will look like when they are in the ground.
After Your Plants Arrive
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after shipping. Your plant has been traveling in a box, so you may notice:
- Minor leaf drop
- Soil that shifted slightly in the pot
- Temporary drooping from being in a darker environment
In most cases, your plant perks up quickly once it’s unboxed, watered (if needed), and placed in the proper environment.
Unboxing Your Plants
When your plants arrive, we recommend:
-
Open carefully (avoid cutting into foliage)
-
Remove all packing materials
-
Check soil moisture (If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering)
-
Let the plant recover (Give it a little fresh air after shipping)
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re happy to help!
Our 30-Day Plant Promise
We stand behind every order we ship with our 30-Day Plant Promise.
If your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it or refund it. We’ve found that if there are ever issues, they typically show up in the first 30 days- so this guarantee gives our customers real peace of mind.
If anything doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship bare-root plants?
No. We ship in soil with an established root system for the best success after delivery.
How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom ship date.
Will my plant survive shipping?
Yes. Plants are resilient when packed correctly and shipped quickly. Our process is designed to protect your plant throughout transit.
What if my plant arrives droopy?
This is usually temporary from being in a dark box. Unbox promptly, check moisture, and allow time to adjust. If you’re concerned, reach out—we’re here to help.

Calgary Carpet® Juniper: Easy Evergreen Groundcover for Slopes and Tough Spaces
Create a thick, green carpet in your landscape with Calgary Carpet® Juniper. This low-growing evergreen spreads across the ground to add year-round color, cover bare areas, and help control erosion.
It is a great choice for slopes, rock gardens, borders, pathways, retaining walls, and other places where grass can be hard to grow. Once established, Calgary Carpet® Juniper is tough, drought tolerant, and very easy to maintain.
Why You'll Love Calgary Carpet® Juniper
Low-Growing Evergreen Coverage: Calgary Carpet® Juniper spreads close to the ground to form a dense mat of soft green foliage.
Great for Slopes: Its spreading growth helps cover hillsides and can help reduce soil erosion.
Year-Round Green Color: Evergreen foliage keeps your landscape looking full and attractive through every season.
Easy to Maintain: Once established, this tough juniper needs very little pruning or extra care.
Drought Tolerant: After the roots are established, Calgary Carpet® Juniper can handle dry weather with less watering.
Handles Heat and Cold: This durable evergreen performs well through a wide range of temperatures.
A Living Evergreen Carpet for Your Landscape
The biggest benefit of Calgary Carpet® Juniper is its low, spreading growth. It covers open soil with dense green foliage and creates a neat, finished look without the need for mowing.
Use it where you want reliable ground coverage, especially in areas where lawn grass or other plants may struggle.
Excellent for Slopes and Erosion Control
Calgary Carpet® Juniper is especially useful on slopes and banks. Its spreading branches help cover exposed soil and create a strong layer of plant growth across the surface.
This makes it a smart choice for areas where heavy rain can wash soil away or where mowing would be difficult.
Where to Plant Calgary Carpet® Juniper
Slopes and Hillsides: Use it to cover difficult areas and help reduce erosion.
Rock Gardens: Its low evergreen growth looks natural around stone, gravel, and other drought-tolerant plants.
Walkways and Borders: Plant it along paths and garden edges for soft, year-round texture.
Retaining Walls: Allow the branches to trail over walls for a natural cascading look.
Raised Beds: Plant near the edge so the foliage can spill over and soften hard lines.
Mass Plantings: Plant several together to cover a larger area with dependable evergreen color.
Softens Walls and Hard Landscape Edges
Calgary Carpet® Juniper can gently trail over retaining walls, rocks, and raised beds. This spreading habit helps soften sharp edges and gives hardscape areas a more natural look.
It also works well between larger shrubs and trees where you want to cover open soil without adding much height.
Calgary Carpet® Juniper Sun and Soil Needs
Sunlight: Plant Calgary Carpet® Juniper in full sun for the best growth and dense evergreen coverage.
Soil: This juniper grows best in well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water stays around the roots for long periods.
Watering: Water regularly while the plant becomes established. Once the roots are settled in, it becomes much more drought tolerant.
A Tough Groundcover for Challenging Areas
Calgary Carpet® Juniper is a dependable choice for parts of the landscape that can be difficult to plant. It handles heat, cold, and dry conditions well once established.
Its durable nature makes it useful for low-maintenance home landscapes, larger planting beds, slopes, and other areas where you want lasting coverage without constant care.
Low-Maintenance Evergreen Color All Year
If you need a groundcover that can handle tough conditions while staying green through the seasons, Calgary Carpet® Juniper is an excellent choice.
Its spreading growth, drought tolerance, and easy-care nature make it a smart solution for slopes, rock gardens, retaining walls, borders, and large open areas.
Plant Calgary Carpet® Juniper for year-round green coverage, easy erosion control, and dependable beauty with very little maintenance.
