Use and Care Manual

We are a family owned and operated nursery
based in North Florida. Our 36 years of extensive
experience began in 1980 with our father’s
purchase of the land that was to become our
nursery. More than a business, it was our life.
A childhood of tractor rides and watering
plants became our passion.

While our nursery has always supplied
landscapers and garden centers in the
Southeast with an array of quality shrubs and
trees, the desire for our high standards to
be able to reach more individual consumers
is what began our online operations in 2013.

twice as wide as the root ball of your plant and
deep enough so that the top of the root ball is
even with the surrounding ground level.

Perfect Plants offers a five-day warrantee on all
plants we ship. In order to take advantage of this
warranty, should your plant(s) arrive damaged, you
will need to submit a photo of the damaged plant(s)
to us within five days of the plant’s delivery. Please
use our “Contact Us” form to send your notice or
claims. We will make a note of your damaged
pla
plant(s), and if your plant(s) dies within 45 days of
your notification and photo(s), we will offer you a
100% store credit on the purchase price of your
plant(s).
If you do not notify us within the five-day period, we
will extend a 50% store credit on the purchase price
of your plant(s) up to 45 days after your shipment
date. (Note: Shedding, color-changing, or damaged
leaves are not included in this warranty.) Trees and
shrubs by nature will occasionally shed leaves as their
natural way of protecting themselves from unnatural
heat,
heat, cold or lack of sunshine, which are all potential
possibilities in the shipping process. Once you trim the
yellow or dead leaves off of your tree or shrub, new
foliage will soon begin to grow.
Please note that we prune our deciduous (meaning
a tree or shrub that sheds its leaves annually) trees
before shipping and they will typically arrive with
little to no leaves, and at times, little to no branching.
However, the tree should be properly branched out
and full of leaves within two seasons. If your
deciduous tree happens to be shipped while dormant
in the
in the winter or spring season, and does not come out
of its dormant state by April 30th, Perfect Plants will
extend to you a 100% refund on the purchase price of
our plant(s) outside of the five-day notification
period.
Although we strive to offer you any and all
resources within our means when it comes to properly
taking care of your plants, we have yet to perfect a
way to guarantee your own personal gardening skills,
hungry animals, ordering plants outside of your
recommended growing zones, human damage,
weather damage, drought, insects, disease or poor
soil
soil conditions. Plants are living organisms and are
susceptible to numerous different fates for reasons
outside of our control.
Perfect Plants guarantees your plants to be true to
type and in healthy condition. Despite our utmost
efforts to ensure your plants are delivered safe, alive
and ready to bloom (if they aren’t already blooming!),
once your plants have left our nursery they are
dependent upon the delivery service to arrive safely
and then upon your own care for them to thrive.

Step 5
A 2-4 inch layer of mulch is
recommended to help

Tip
Taller trees may need to be staked to remain in the
correct position. Drive two 2 inch square stakes into
the ground on either side of the tree, well outside
of the root ball. Secure tree to both stakes using
twine.
