Spring shipping has arrived at Greenwood.

This week we started shipping into the warmer planting zones. By the end of March, we’ll be shipping into zone 7 with 6, 5 and 4 being added as we move through April.

Colorful perennials have been amazingly popular as well as bare root shrubs for hedges. Creating definition with hedges and adding splashes of color throughout the garden and landscape are two great, fast ways of adding enjoyment to the outdoors without going over budget.

Strawberry, Blackberry, Raspberry and Muscadine plants have begun shipping. The muscadines are heavily rooted with about a 3 foot long vine on most all of the plants. All of the raspberry varieties look great and while all of the blackberry plants look great, the Triple Crown looks especially nice this year. The strawberry plants are ready to go and don’t forget to pinch blossoms off the strawberry plants during their first year in the ground to force them into putting all of their energy into making larger plants. Fruiting plants do much better when they are planted while the ground is on the cooler side.

If you are in one of the cooler planting zones, you can still place your order at this time to secure your plants for spring delivery. We schedule shipping times based on the average temperatures of the delivery area so you can count on us not shipping your order until it is the perfect time for you to plant. Also, we do not process orders until the week before the scheduled shipping week which means we do not charge your order until that time, plus we are currently offering Free Shipping on orders over $60!

We hope you are finding it simple to use our new Greenwood Navigation System (on the left hand side of our web pages) to narrow down your plant selections. It’s easy to use and results are immediate.
