Plant appearance may vary

Plants may vary in appearance depending on the season, grower, or specific crop. All plants are guaranteed to be healthy and true to variety at the time of purchase.

Why plants may look different in the nursery

Plants are living, seasonal products. The photos on our website may show plants at different stages of growth, during peak seasonal beauty, or as provided by the grower.

Because of this, the plant you see in the nursery may look different depending on the time of year, the plant’s age, or natural growing conditions.

Example of seasonal plant variation

What affects how a plant looks?

Seasonal changes
Many plants look dramatically different throughout the year. Deciduous plants may flower in spring, grow full foliage in summer, change color in fall, and appear dormant in winter.

Plant maturity
Photos often show mature plants so you can see their long-term beauty. Younger plants in the nursery are still growing toward that size and shape.

Supplier photography
Some images come from our growers to help illustrate mature flowers, color, or growth habits that may not be visible year-round.

Even if a plant looks smaller or different than the photo today, it has the potential to grow into the beautiful specimen shown.

Tip: Plants in winter may appear dormant but are still healthy and ready to grow in the spring.

If you have questions about what a plant should look like during a certain season, our team is always happy to help.
