The advantage of buying plants by mail order is that you will have the choice of purchasing either as potted specimens almost year round or during the dormant period, ready to plant for the next season. Plants are sent packaged so they will arrive in good condition.
Flower Bulbs, Roses, Fruit Trees and Perennial Plants are all popular by mail order. Roses and Fruit Trees are sent bare rooted during the winter. Bulbs and Perennial plants are available during dormancy which will vary from plant to plant.
