Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.

Plants Included In Fruit Salad Annual Combination

Calibrachoa and verbena combine to create an outstanding display of summer fun colors in this gorgeous heat loving combination. Cool deep purple trumpets with darker throats and glowing yellow centers coupled with vibrant yellow trumpets with slices of white, and little bouquets of frosted red florets work to give you a fun summertime vibe for your porch or patio. All three annuals will fill and then spill over the sides of your planter and attract hummingbirds and butterflies all summer long with their bright blooms.

Especially bred for their heat tolerance, these annuals will give you hundreds of colorful blooms all season long, even during the hottest months of summer. They thrive in full sun and will appreciate some afternoon shade in the hottest summer sun. Verbena tolerates even the poorest of soils, and will adapt well to the loose well draining soil that the calibrachoas will require making this combination an easy one to care for.

Fruit Salad Annual Combination Care

Full sun...Check! Well draining soil...Check! Now let's talk about fertilizer. As long continuous bloomers, these annuals will need a regular feeding schedule. Using a slow release fertilizer when first planted will give them what they need to quickly fill in the container they are in. Once established, a weekly feeding of a water soluble fertilizer, preferably a 24-12-17 ratio, will keep them in peak condition all season long. Calibrachoa are particular about soil pH. Should the foliage start to yellow, add a water soluble foliar spray of chelated iron to bring back the lush green color. As with all container plants, you will want to water more frequently. Letting the top two inches of soil dry slightly between waterings will keep your plants happy and healthy.

Plant the 4 ¼ inch pot plants in a 12 inch container, leaving up to 12 inches between plants for best performance. Consider using a larger planter for the 8 inch pot size plants or if you are opting to add more plants to your arrangement. Pinch plants back when first planting to encourage early branching and set the stage for more flowers, and do not be afraid to shear or prune plants back in mid summer if they get leggy or start to get out of bounds. This will also promote branching and a more compact look and result in renewed flowering.

Fruit Salad Annual Combination Ideas

Once again, these beautiful annuals are not restricted to just planting in containers or hanging baskets. With the proper full sun to light shade location and really well draining soil, you can mass these annuals out in your garden bed or landscape border with great impact. If your soil is heavy or compacted, consider using raised beds for enhanced drainage and good plant performance all summer and well into fall.
