Most Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Wilson Bros Gardens ship its plants to California, Hawaii and Alaska?

If you are from California, Hawaii or Alaska please know that we at Wilson Bros Gardens would love nothing more than to be able to ship our plants to you...and are very sad and frustrated that we cannot! As with so many other plant growers in the South, due to our growing locations in Georgia and elsewhere in the South, the Departments of Agriculture in these states will not allow our plants to enter their more

Are your plants shipped in their pots or bare root?

While many other online plant nurseries have gone to shipping bare root and smaller plants in smaller pots, which are much more difficult to care for and come with a much lower survival rate, Wilson Bros Gardens ships larger, high-quality nursery and garden center grade plants in their nursery pots that are ready upon arrival to plant and thrive for years to come in your landscape - guaranteed.

Can I plant the plants I purchase from Wilson Bros Gardens during the winter?

This depends on two factors: your location, and the type of plant you intend on purchasing and planting. Based on that we offer thousands of varieties of plants, it's impossible to provide this type of planting information in a way that will apply to every specific type of plant, and to gardeners from different locations all over the United States. That said, on each and every plant page on we provide the specific yet simple information you need to determine whether or not a specific plant is safe to plant during winter in your specific area. Get the details here

Can Wilson Bros Gardens ship it's plants outside of the United States?

Because we grow and ship all of our plants fully rooted in the soil in their containers, and not "bare root," we cannot ship our plants outside the United States. Even if we could ship outside the United States, the Required Phytosanitary Certificate costs for the soils would be around $200.00 per order depending on how many different species are ordered. Additionally, there may be import restrictions on specific types of plants or soils in your Country which we would have no knowledge of. Too, depending on distance between our base and the ship-to destination, Air Freight may be required to shorten transit time for safe delivery of live plants. Considering that our shipping boxes are quite large, this method of delivery would be extremely expensive.
