However, it is a good idea to list alternates for plants on both lists. Please indicate the quantity of each accession you want on the order form. There is no order of preference on this list. Please list your alternate selections on the order form if you will accept substitutions. We offer a wide range of shipping dates to meet the needs of our members and customers.
Soft growth is fragile and more easily damaged in transit.
Try to pick as early a ship date as feasible for your region to ensure a greater chance of receiving plants before new growth has begun. Early ship dates may mean very cold temperatures and harsh winter conditions still exist in your region. As long as the plants are protected from the weather, such as in a garage or tool shed that lets in light, they should be fine until the weather warms. If you cannot protect the plants from the last of your winter weather, pick a later ship date. You must be a current RSF member at the time of order to receive early ordering benefits.
