Finding a lot of a particular plant can be a struggle in the spring, especially if it’s something special or unique. Tee’s Plants offers custom plant ordering to help accommodate for special planting projects, or even as a meaningful gift to your gardener friends and family.
The deadline to order plants is generally March 1st, but this is dependent on what you’re ordering. Perennials need to be ordered by the middle of February, for example. Minimum order quantities vary, so contact me to check. Earlier is always better for both of us!
The cost to order varies, so please contact me at order@teesplants.com with your interests. This is a useful service if you need a lot of a specific annual, for example, like marigolds, petunias, peppers, etc.

Delivery times are scheduled with 1-2 weeks of allowance, typically around mid-May to June for optimal planting times. Don’t want the trays? Let me know and I’ll deliver your plants in recycled cardboard boxes instead, or request ecofriendly trays for $4 each as another alternative. (Boxes get soggy quickly, that’s the reason I offer these).
