Where we can't go
Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, and outside the United States.
Why we only ship Mondays and Tuesdays
A plant in a dark box is on a clock. Shipping early in the week means it reaches you before the weekend instead of sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Monday. It costs us a day or two of lead time and saves a lot of plants.
Practically: an order placed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or over the weekend goes out the following Monday. We'd rather tell you that now than let you find it in a tracking number.
How long it takes once it leaves
Typical ground transit from Lineville, Alabama after the ship day. Estimates, not guarantees — weather and carrier backlogs happen.
- 1–2 days Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky
- 2–3 days The rest of the Southeast and Midwest, Texas, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast
- 3–5 days The Plains, the Mountain West and the West Coast
Tracking is emailed the moment your box is scanned.
If something arrives unhappy
A little leaf drop or travel stress is normal and usually sorts itself out within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives genuinely damaged, email support@wadegreens.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant and the box, and we'll make it right.
Plant Traits
The facts that decide whether it takes root, in the order that matters.
Sunlight
Full Sun (6+ hrs)
Six or more hours of direct sun. With less it stretches toward the light and flowering thins out.
Water
Low
Water to establish, then only through a real dry spell. Too much water kills these faster than too little.
Mature Size
3-6 ft
Where it settles once established. Plan the spacing for this, not for the size it arrives at.
Foliage
Deciduous
Drops its leaves in fall and leafs back out in spring. Bare in winter is dormant, not dead.

Foundation Planting · Border & Bed
Traits
- Drought TolerantDeep or fleshy roots and less leaf surface let it ride out a dry spell once established. Established means a full season in the ground — year one it still needs water.
