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.

Ice N’ Roses Red Hellebore – Bold Winter Color, Year-Round Beauty
A Standout Hellebore for Every Season
Meet Ice N’ Roses Red Hellebore (Helleborus x glandorfensis), a game-changer for winter gardens. With rich, velvety red flowers that bloom for months, this variety brings bold color when most plants are dormant. Unlike traditional hellebores, its upright, outward-facing blooms make a bigger impact, standing out beautifully in the landscape or containers. Whether you're looking to brighten up a shady garden bed, add elegance to a patio planter, or create a low-maintenance, evergreen display, Ice N’ Roses Red delivers year-round interest.
Plant Details
- Mature Height: 18–24 inches
- Mature Width: 18–24 inches
- Sun Exposure: Partial shade to full sun
- Botanical Name: Helleborus x glandorfensis ‘Ice N’ Roses Red’
- Other Common Names: Lenten Rose, Winter Rose
Why Choose Ice N’ Roses Red?
A New Generation of Hellebores
Unlike older Helleborus x hybridus varieties, Ice N’ Roses Red features upright, outward-facing blooms, so you don’t have to bend down to admire them. It’s part of the Ice N’ Roses series, bred for stronger growth, longer flowering, and improved garden performance.
Vivid Red Blooms in Winter and Early Spring
This hellebore comes alive in December and keeps blooming through April, providing months of rich, deep red flowers when little else is in bloom. The large, cup-shaped blooms hold their vibrant color even in cold weather.
Evergreen Foliage for Year-Round Interest
Even when not in bloom, dark green, glossy leaves provide a lush, full look in the garden. The dense foliage remains evergreen, keeping garden beds and containers attractive through all seasons.
Thrives in Partial Shade to Sun
Unlike many hellebores that require deep shade, Ice N’ Roses Red is sun-tolerant, thriving in both partial shade and sunnier locations. It’s perfect for underplanting deciduous trees, brightening up a shaded entryway, or even thriving in spots that receive morning sun.
Attracts Pollinators, Deters Deer and Rabbits
Bees and early pollinators love the nectar-rich flowers, while deer and rabbits tend to avoid this plant due to its mildly toxic foliage.
Easy to Grow and Low Maintenance
Once established, Ice N’ Roses Red is drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and requires minimal care. It’s an ideal choice for beginner gardeners and busy plant lovers who want lasting beauty without the hassle.
How to Grow and Care for Ice N’ Roses Red
Light Requirements
- Partial shade to full sun. Adapts to a variety of conditions, but prefers morning sun and afternoon shade in hotter climates.
Watering Needs
- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.
- Once mature, it becomes drought-tolerant, needing only occasional watering.
Soil Preferences
- Prefers rich, well-draining soil with organic matter.
- Tolerates clay and sandy soils, as long as drainage is good.
Fertilizing
- Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring to support new growth.
- A light feeding in late fall can encourage winter blooming.
Pruning and Maintenance
- Minimal pruning required—just remove old or damaged leaves in late winter to allow fresh growth.
- Deadhead spent blooms if desired, though they often fade naturally without affecting the plant’s appearance.
Where to Plant Ice N’ Roses Red
- Shade Gardens and Woodland Borders – A perfect underplanting for trees and shrubs.
- Entryways and Foundation Plantings – Adds elegance to front walkways and porches.
- Containers and Planters – Beautiful in pots for patios, balconies, and small spaces.
- Mixed Perennial Beds – Pairs well with ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants.
- Winter Gardens – Keeps the landscape colorful when most plants are dormant.
Why Ice N’ Roses Red Stands Out
Compared to traditional hellebores, Ice N’ Roses Red offers:
- Upright, outward-facing blooms instead of nodding flowers.
- A longer flowering period, blooming from winter into spring.
- Better sun tolerance, thriving in more light than typical hellebores.
- Stronger, more vigorous growth, creating a fuller, more impactful display.
Bring Color to Your Garden, Even in Winter
With its bold red flowers, evergreen foliage, and long-lasting blooms, Ice N’ Roses Red is the perfect solution for brightening up your winter landscape. Whether you’re adding a touch of color to a shady garden bed or creating an eye-catching container display, this low-maintenance, high-impact hellebore is a must-have.
