Shipping is Partially Open for Hardiness Zones 7-11

Spring has arrived! Your plants are maturing and growing healthy roots to prepare for shipping. Our growers are nurturing them with the utmost care, ensuring they're strong and healthy for their journey to you. Learn more about the growing process on our blog.
 
Shipping will begin after the last frost date in your region to minimize any risk of frost damage during transit and to ensure the ground is warm enough to plant. You can estimate the last frost date here. 
 
Our 2026 shipping season kicks off in Southern California in late February, followed by the Southeast in early March. For those in the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest, look for shipments in late April, while our Northeast, Midwest, and PNW orders will head out in May.

What is my USDA Hardiness Zone?

Sometimes called “growing zones,” hardiness zones refer to a map developed by the USDA that separates the United States into regions based on the average low winter temperatures. The USDA Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones and further divided into 5-degree F half-zones. Click here to look up your hardiness zone by zip code.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Product Description

    • Blast off into a new frontier of gardening with the Martian Munchables Collection. This "intergalactic" set is carefully curated to create a thriving habitat on any planet, featuring "programmable" blooms, glowing red spires, and striking structural forms that look like they were plucked from another world.

    Meet the "Alien" Plants

    • Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) — The Martian Beacon: Produces intense, true-red tubular blooms on tall stalks that stand out like glowing alien spires. These brightly colored flowers serve as a "welcome mat" for hummingbirds and other long-tongued pollinators.
    • Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) — The "Alien" Antennae: Features upright, tall spikes with fuzzy, button-like flowers that resemble strange sensors or satellite equipment. Its flowers offer critical nectar for pollinators and produce seeds that birds love.
    • Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) — The Programmable Tech: Known for "obedient" flowers that stay in place when moved, growing in precise, geometric rows on tall stems. Provides a high-nectar food source for bees and butterflies throughout the mid-to-late summer.

    Why You’ll Love This Intergalactic Habitat

    • Space-Age Support: Provides a welcoming environment for pollinators, offering an ideal habitat for mating and sheltering.
    • Low-Resource Resilience: Thrives with minimal care and requires less water once established, making it perfect for challenging environments.
    • "Space-Deer" Resistant: Naturally stands up to deer browsing, ensuring a lasting presence in your garden.
    • Pollinator-Safe: All plants are grown non-GMO and are 100% neonicotinoid-free, ensuring a safe haven for the wildlife they attract.

    Available in collections of nine, 18, or 27 plants to create a thriving Martian habitat.

    Planting Tips

    1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade (on Earth) to accommodate the varied lighting of the solar system.
    2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plants establish deep, "planetary" roots.
    3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. Avoid deadheading in late summer, as the seed heads provide food for other songbirds. Leave the stems and foliage standing through the winter to provide shelter for overwintering beneficial insects.

Gorgeous Orange Blooms!

Oh my gosh we so love these butterfly milkweed plants! Not only have we had monarchs visit us but several black swallowtail butterflies as well. Every time we look at these plants they make us smile. And to think we are helping out the butterfly population at the same time!

Healthy Plants, Packaged Well

I planted them right away. I was impressed with the packaging and the plant quality. The root system was healthy and the plants were not terribly dehydrated as many mail order plants can be.

Worth the Investment

I have been so impressed with each delivery I've received. The packaging is superb, keeping the plants in a safe, healthy state during shipping. Each plant has been healthy and strong, transplanting and thriving. Every single plant I ordered and put in my garden last year, came back strong this year - acting every bit like a 3rd year plant. I love my 3 Little Bluestem plugs and can't wait to watch them grow next year. Absolutely worth the cost!

Beautiful and Resilient!

I planted them this spring so no flowers yet but I did accidentally break the stem for two of the plants which had ALL the leaves. I thought the plant was a goner BUT it came back. The root system was strong even for the little plants and it is back to thriving again.
