Save $10 on Each Bare Root Cypripedium Every year we offer lady's slipper orchids as bare root in the fall and potted in the spring. Bare root is the best way to establish Cypripedium when they are freshly dug. We'd like to acknowledge your efforts and encourage fall planting by offering $10 off each bare root.

Local Customers:Choose "pick up" when you check out. We will email you when it is time to come in. Please add our email address mailorder@phoenixperennials.com to your address book to help our email get past your spam filter. We recommend against placing orders for potted plants from other sections. Most plants should be available now for in-person shopping.
Mail Order Customers: Please do not mix plants from our Spring Bulb Pre-Order with other pre-orders or the Main Catalogue. These plants all ship at different times and require different packaging. Most bulbs ship from late September to the end of October. The following genera usually do not ship until mid October: Cyclamen, Cypripedium, Eremurus, Galanthus, Gladiolus, Hippeastrum (Amaryllis), and Lilium. In general, rare bulbs always arrive to us and are shipped on to you later than conventional ones. Cold climate gardeners can prepare in advance for this. Bulbs and bare root can be planted in the ground as long as the soil is still workable. You can pre-dig holes and then mulch plantings well with a foot of fallen leaves. Or you can plant in pots and protect in a less freezing location such as a garage or slightly heated basement, shed or greenhouse for the first winter then plant out into the garden in spring. When you place your order, we assume you have read and understand the timing of shipments. Cancellations and Changes: Once plants are ordered, they are reserved for you and can’t be sold to anyone else. We view your order as a commitment you have made with us in good faith. For this reason, cancellations for full refund will only be accepted until September 1st, 2023. After that date you can choose to cancel for a refund minus a 25% restocking fee or cancel for a full store credit. If we are still within our stated shipping period, the lateness of the season or the weather in your region is not considered as a reason to not hold to our cancellation policy. By placing an order we assume you are aware of our shipping season. For small additions less than $25, please email us with your requests. For additions larger than $25, please place a new order then notify us by email so we can connect your orders.
Flat Rate Shipping for Bulbs** Flat rate shipping applies to orders that include packaged bulbs and bare root only. Note that some plants in this pre-order are potted rather than packaged. Potted plants will list a pot size rather than the number of bulbs per pack. Orders that include pots might not be eligible for flat rate shipping.
When you place your order, our system will calculate a quoted rate. Just before we ship we will adjust your rate based on the table below and refund the difference.

*Mixed orders will be charged an administrative fee of $5 per pre-order/main catalogue order to cover our costs of separating and organizing your orders. As a rule, all pre-orders ship separately due to timing and different packing requirements. In some cases we may be able to combine some pre-orders to ship together if you send us a detailed email listing all of your orders. While we will do our best, we cannot guarantee that any pre-orders will ship together. **Applies to shipments of packaged dry bulbs only. If potted or extra heavy bulbs or other potted plants are included in your order, the rate quoted by the shopping cart system will apply.
