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.

Ginger Wine® Ninebark: Bold Orange and Burgundy Color With Easy Care
Add rich, changing color to your landscape with Ginger Wine® Ninebark. This beautiful North American native shrub starts the season with bright orange new growth, then deepens to rich burgundy as the leaves mature.
In late spring, clusters of white flowers cover the branches and stand out against the dark foliage. After the flowers fade, red seed heads add even more color and texture. With its tough nature and easy-care growth, Ginger Wine® Ninebark is a great choice for home landscapes, hedges, borders, and privacy plantings.
Why You'll Love Ginger Wine® Ninebark
Color That Changes Through the Season: New leaves open in glowing orange shades before turning deep burgundy for months of bold color.
Bright White Spring Flowers: Clusters of small white blooms appear in late spring and create beautiful contrast against the dark leaves.
Decorative Red Seed Heads: After flowering, red seed heads add extra interest and help extend the seasonal display.
North American Native: Ninebark is native to North America and fits well into natural, native, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
Low Maintenance: Ginger Wine® Ninebark does not need regular deadheading and usually requires very little pruning.
Disease Resistant: This durable shrub is known for dependable growth and strong performance in many landscapes.
Great for Many Uses: Plant it as a colorful specimen, hedge, privacy shrub, mixed border, or mass planting.
Orange Spring Growth That Turns Rich Burgundy
The standout feature of Ginger Wine® Ninebark is its colorful foliage. Fresh spring leaves emerge in bright shades of orange and copper, bringing warm color to the landscape early in the season.
As the foliage matures, it changes to deep burgundy and wine-red shades. This long-lasting color gives your garden plenty of interest even when the shrub is not in bloom.
White Flowers Add Bright Contrast in Late Spring
In late spring, Ginger Wine® Ninebark produces clusters of small white flowers along its branches. The light flowers stand out beautifully against the darker foliage.
Once the blooms fade, red seed heads appear and add another layer of color and texture through the growing season.
Where to Plant Ginger Wine® Ninebark
Specimen Plantings: Plant one as a colorful focal point where its orange and burgundy leaves can stand out.
Mixed Borders: Pair it with green shrubs, flowering perennials, and evergreens for strong color contrast.
Hedges: Plant several together to create an attractive, informal hedge with bold seasonal color.
Privacy Plantings: Its dense growth can help add height, structure, and seasonal screening to your landscape.
Mass Plantings: Use several plants together for a large sweep of warm orange, burgundy, white, and red color.
Ginger Wine® Ninebark Sun and Soil Needs
Sunlight: Plant Ginger Wine® Ninebark in full sun for the richest foliage color. This is especially helpful in cooler climates, where plenty of sun can bring out the strongest orange and burgundy shades.
Soil: This adaptable shrub grows well in many soil types as long as the area drains well.
Watering: Water regularly while the plant becomes established. After the roots are settled in, Ginger Wine® Ninebark is a tough landscape shrub that can handle normal garden conditions with less attention.
Easy Care With Little Pruning Needed
Ginger Wine® Ninebark is a good choice for gardeners who want strong color without a lot of extra work. It keeps an attractive natural shape and does not need regular deadheading.
Routine pruning is usually not needed. If you want to shape the shrub or remove older branches, light pruning can help keep it looking neat and healthy.
A Colorful Native Shrub for Easy Landscaping
If you want a shrub that combines bright orange spring growth, deep burgundy foliage, white flowers, red seed heads, and simple care, Ginger Wine® Ninebark is an excellent choice.
Its bold color and durable growth make it easy to use in foundation beds, borders, hedges, privacy plantings, and larger landscape designs.
Plant Ginger Wine® Ninebark for months of changing color, beautiful flowers, and dependable beauty with very little maintenance.
