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 Parade Picnic Annual Combination

Here is an annual combination for the record books! True cobalt blue flowers, coupled with tough as nails white flowers and fiery scarlet red flowers all combine to provide the truest most patriotic annual collection of the summer. Purists will agree that this is the most accurate depiction of our red, white and blue colors ever seen in an annual combination.

Introducing Evolvulus, the dwarf morning glory, to the scene as the best true blue flowering annual you can find. Add the improved performance of hybridization where we take the best of the parent plants and make them better, and you have an absolutely stunning display for your summer container gardens. Couple this with the pure white euphorbia hybrid, Diamond Snow and the fiery scarlet red Sunpatiens Compact Fire Red for a show stopping display. Unique among most annuals is the drought resistance all three of these plants exhibit once established.

Parade Picnic Annual Combination Care

Each of these annuals are very similar in that they have the same basic needs: full sun, light fertilizing with water soluble fertilizer every two weeks and a light-weight potting mix to prevent the dreaded soggy soil. Some afternoon shade is appreciated in the hottest regions but evolvulus prefers straight on sun to maintain its silvery green foliage. It is best not to fertilize too heavily to prevent leggy growth. Tending to be herbaceous foliage, meaning that stems and sometimes leaves retain water, these plants can tolerate dry periods. Maintain a regular watering schedule during drought for best performance.

Choose a 12 inch hanging basket or patio container for the 4 ¼ inch pot size plants as these are vigorous growers and will quickly fill and spill over your planter. Plant the Sunpatiens in the background of your planter as it will top out at about 30 inches tall and spread about 20 inches wide whereas the dwarf morning glory is only about 8 inches tall and trails about 12 inches. The euphorbia is about 18 inches tall and wide and can trail down the front about 18 inches as well. Consider purchasing additional dwarf morning glories and euphorbias to alternate across the front for a pleasing arrangement.

Parade Picnic Annual Combination Ideas

All three annuals make wonderful landscape plants due to their drought and heat tolerance once fully established. If your soil is heavy and gets soggy, consider amending it with sand and perlite, or create raised beds for the adequate soil drainage that is so crucial. Mass them out in full sun for a spectacular display of untouchable color and have your friends and neighbors asking you where you got such an awesome parade of color.
