Policy Against the Sale of Harvested Plants and Material from the Wild
Latest version: 29 Mar 2012

We continue to support the efforts of the International Carnivorous Plant Society, the North American Sarracenia Conservancy and the many other organizations that seek to curtail and, if possible, stop the decline of carnivorous plant populations and their habitats in the wild. In accordance with their efforts, we will never support the sale of plants or plant material that is directly harvested from the wild. Likewise, we discourage the introduction of carnivorous plants as invasive species into habitats in which they are not endemic.

Shipping Policy

Shipments within the continental United States are sent by USPS Ground Advantage (if weight permits), or USPS Priority Mail (if the weight exceeds the maximum for Ground Advantage service. To save on your shipping costs, plants are typically sent unpotted, with roots wrapped in damp sphagnum. However, we do entertain requests to ship plants potted, but those are almost always sent USPS Priority Mail because of weight.
