How We Ship Your Plants
Here's what you can expect:
Beware- not all online plant nurseries are the same!
Some nurseries cut corners to save money- especially when shipping larger plants!
- We never ship bare-root plants
- We never chop or cut roots just to fit into a smaller box
- We ship plants with large, developed root systems 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.
Here’s exactly what you can expect after you place your order.
Selecting Your Plants for Shipping
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 what you ordered
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 through the carrier network. Depending on what you ordered, packaging may include:
- Support materials to keep the plant stable
- Protection around the pot and root ball to prevent shifting
- Reinforced boxing to reduce bending or breakage
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of the 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 Shipping 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 quickly across the country
- They are consistently the most gentle with live plant packages
- Faster transit means less stress on your plant
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.
We Ship From Multiple Nursery Locations
Nationwide Plants ships from multiple locations across the country, including locations on 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 Tree Size
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.
What Your Plant Might Look Like After Shipping
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after being in transit. Your plant has been traveling in a box, and 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 (Quick & Easy)
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 looking 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.

White Double Begonia Tubers – Lush Blooms with Minimal Effort
If you're looking for a flower that delivers drama without demanding too much in return, White Double Begonias are an easy choice. These tuberous begonias produce large, fully double white blooms that stand out against deep green foliage, creating a stunning contrast. The layered petals give them a luxurious, almost rose-like appearance, but without the high-maintenance care routine.
These begonias thrive in partial shade, making them perfect for brightening up areas where many flowers struggle. Whether cascading from a hanging basket, filling a container on a shaded porch, or planted in garden beds, White Double Begonias add an elegant, refreshing touch to your space.
What Makes White Double Begonias Special?
1. Elegant Blooms That Last for Months
These begonias don’t just bloom for a few weeks and fade away. Once they start flowering in early summer, they keep producing until the first frost. The full, ruffled white petals give the plant an almost bridal feel—pure, classic, and sophisticated. Unlike single-petaled begonias, which have a more open and simple structure, the double variety looks fuller and more refined, making it a favorite for both home gardeners and florists.
2. Thrives in Partial Shade – No Harsh Sun Needed
Many flowering plants require full sun, but not White Double Begonias. They thrive in filtered sunlight, dappled shade, and even deeper shade conditions. This makes them ideal for shaded patios, porches, balconies, or areas of your garden where other flowers might struggle. If you have a space that doesn't get a full day's worth of direct sunlight, these begonias are a fantastic option.
3. Easy to Grow – Even for Beginners
Tuberous begonias are grown from tubers, much like dahlias, which means you can start them indoors in early spring for a head start on the growing season. Once planted, they require little maintenance beyond regular watering and deadheading spent blooms to encourage even more flowers. They’re not fussy about soil, as long as it drains well, and they don’t need constant fertilizing.
4. Perfect for Containers & Hanging Baskets
Because of their trailing growth habit, White Double Begonias look especially stunning in hanging baskets and containers. The flowers spill over the edges, creating a cascading effect that adds movement and softness to any space. If you prefer a more structured garden bed look, they work beautifully there as well, especially when paired with other shade-loving plants like ferns or hostas.
5. Deer and Rabbit Resistant
If you’ve ever had your flowers munched on by deer or rabbits, you’ll be happy to know that begonias aren’t their favorite snack. While no plant is 100% animal-proof, these tend to be left alone, making them a reliable choice for gardens in areas with active wildlife.
Where to Use White Double Begonias in Your Space
- Hanging Baskets & Window Boxes: Let them spill over the edges for a lush, romantic effect.
- Shaded Garden Beds: Pair with hostas, astilbes, or ferns for a layered, textured look.
- Containers for Porches & Patios: Their elegant blooms brighten up shaded outdoor spaces.
- Wedding & Event Decor: The pure white flowers are perfect for formal settings and special occasions.

Why Choose White Double Begonias Over Other Varieties?
There are many types of begonias, but the White Double Begonia stands out for its full, rose-like blooms and long-lasting performance in the shade. Unlike wax begonias, which have smaller, single-layered flowers, or rex begonias, which are more about foliage than flowers, this variety is all about show-stopping blossoms. If you want a flowering plant that looks expensive and elegant but is surprisingly low-maintenance, this one is hard to beat.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a plant that keeps blooming for months with very little work? White Double Begonias do exactly that. Whether you’re looking to add charm to a shaded patio, create a dreamy wedding-like atmosphere in your garden, or simply want a flower that keeps going strong all season, this variety is a solid choice.
