Buying Plants Online


With online shopping becoming the normal place to buy any product you need, it might be surprising to find out that you can even buy plants online. Some websites that are popular for mail order plants are Peony’s Envy, Avant Gardens, and Van Engelen to name a few. Here are some steps to help you with your purchase of plants via the internet.

1.     Step one is to know what plant you are looking to buy. You don’t need to know what specific plant you want, but have an understanding of what type of plant you want; annual, perennial, tropical, etc. You will be able to buy a lot of different plants from around the world but you need to make sure it will survive in your location. If you live in the northern states, tropical and exotic plants won’t survive the winter if you plan to plant them outside, but if you move them inside before the first frost, then they will be fine. Knowing little facts like this will help you decide on what plant is right for you.
2.     Step two is to figure out what website provides the plant you want. Not every website is going to have what you want. For example, Peony’s Envy only sells peonies. Also, if you want the plant to be already grown, make sure they will be sold that way. Van Engelen only sells plants in their bulb form. The main thing is to find a company that meets all your needs.
3.     The third and final step is to checkout. Make sure that they will ship to your area and that you meet all their criteria before checking out. For example, a website called Avant Gardens has a minimum of $25 per order before taxes. After you check out, all you have to do is wait for your plants to arrive.

Hopefully these steps will help guide you in your search for plants via the internet. Here are more websites that sell plants to help your search even more.
