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.

La Luna Dahlia: A Glow of Soft Yellow Blooms for Your Garden
La Luna Dahlia is the kind of flower that makes you stop and take a second look. With large, fully double blooms in a soft, buttery yellow, this dahlia brings a warm glow to any garden or floral arrangement. The flowers are full and rounded, with layers of delicate petals forming a perfectly symmetrical bloom. Unlike the brighter, more intense yellow dahlias, La Luna offers a gentler, almost ethereal presence—like moonlight in flower form.
If you’re looking for a dahlia that stands out without being overwhelming, La Luna is a perfect choice. It’s easy to grow, produces blooms all season long, and makes an excellent cut flower. Whether you plant it in your garden, a patio container, or a dedicated cut-flower bed, you’ll get months of stunning, long-lasting blooms.
What Makes La Luna Dahlia Special?
1. Soft, Dreamy Yellow Blooms
Most yellow dahlias lean toward gold or bright lemon tones, but La Luna offers something different. Its soft, creamy yellow petals make it a perfect fit for romantic garden designs, pastel-themed bouquets, or even as a contrast to bolder-colored flowers.
2. A Cut-Flower Favorite
La Luna produces long, sturdy stems that make it ideal for cutting. The blooms last well in a vase, often holding their shape for over a week. If you love arranging your own fresh flowers, this dahlia will quickly become a favorite.
3. Continuous Blooms Until Frost
One of the biggest benefits of growing dahlias is their extended blooming period. La Luna will start flowering in mid-to-late summer and continue producing new blooms until the first frost. The more you cut the flowers, the more it encourages new growth—so you can enjoy an abundance of fresh blooms for months.
4. Perfect for Containers and Garden Beds
With a mature height of around 36–48 inches, La Luna is a great choice for garden borders, raised beds, and large containers. It adds height and dimension to any space, and its soft yellow flowers pair beautifully with pinks, purples, whites, and greens.
5. Attracts Pollinators
Dahlias are excellent for attracting bees and butterflies to your garden. While the fully double blooms of La Luna aren’t the most accessible for pollinators, you may still notice an increase in beneficial insects around your plants.
Design Ideas & Uses for La Luna Dahlia
Romantic Cottage Gardens
With its soft, pastel yellow hue, La Luna is a perfect fit for English-style cottage gardens. Pair it with lavender, pink roses, and white daisies for a dreamy, romantic look.
Cut-Flower Arrangements
The long-lasting nature of La Luna’s blooms makes them ideal for bouquets and floral centerpieces. They blend well with both warm and cool-toned flowers, making them versatile for any season’s arrangements.
Patio & Balcony Containers
If you don’t have a garden bed, La Luna thrives in large pots. Just be sure to provide support so the tall stems don’t droop.
Seasonal Wedding Decor
The creamy yellow blooms of La Luna work beautifully in wedding floral designs, particularly in late summer and early fall weddings. Brides and florists love it for its soft, natural color and sturdy petals.
Why Choose La Luna Dahlia Over Other Dahlias?
- More Subtle Yellow – Many yellow dahlias are bold and bright, but La Luna offers a soft, creamy yellow that’s easier to blend into various garden styles and bouquets.
- Long-Lasting Blooms – The flowers are exceptionally long-lasting in both the garden and in vases.
- Easy to Grow – Dahlias can seem intimidating, but La Luna is relatively low-maintenance if given proper sunlight and well-draining soil.
- Unique Look – The fully double, rounded shape of La Luna’s blooms makes it stand out among other dahlias.
