How to Order Plants & Flowers

While your local garden center probably has a decent selection of the most popular plants to grow in your area, it may not have other less favored plants. Also, your local garden center may not have plants that don't grow in your USDA Hardiness Zone. If you want to grow a tender perennial as an annual in a colder climate or if you want to grow less commonly seen plant, you can, but you will have to order it from your garden center or an online source. You can also order plant and flower seeds the same way.

• 1

  Call or go into your local garden center. Ask if you can order plants and flowers through them. If so, you will have to fill out an order form and hand it in to them. Provide them with your name, address and phone number so they can contact you when your plants or flowers arrive.

  Look through the plants they offer on their websites to see if they have the plants or flowers you want to order. If they do, click "Add to Cart" and purchase the plants or flowers with your credit card. Provide them with your shipping address so you can receive the plants and flowers at your home.
