A: Your concern about shipping plants in hot weather is valid. For sensitive plants,
we'll delay shipping until conditions are more favorable in your area. However, there are plenty of heat-tolerant tropical plants that handle shipping well with minimal stress. These plants adapt
easily when planted during the hot summer months. Simply follow the included planting
instructions, gradually acclimate them to full sun, and they should thrive.
Certain flowering tropical plants, such as Allamandas,
Calliandras, Caesalpinias, Adeniums, and Clerodendrums,
are excellent options for shipping and establishing during the summer. Flowering vines like
Jasmines also adapt well. Consider using Sunshine Booster fertilizers to promote robust growth, they are safe to use right after planting.
Additionally, many fruit trees flourish in heat. Mangoes, Avocados, Pomegranates, Pineapples, Loquats, Eugenias - Tropical
cherries, Bananas,
Jackfruits, Dragon
Fruit, and Olive trees are great choices for summer planting. Noni trees are hardy survivors and usually ship and grow well during
the summer, in spite of their lush tropical leaves.
Feel free to check with us about the specific plant you plan to order for its suitability in
summer shipping. We're here to take care of your green babies and address your
year-round planting needs!
