If I purchase plants in the winter, when will they ship?
Winter pre-orders will be shipped to you once the plants come out of storage – April 1st for trees and shrubs, May 15th for perennials. Please note pre-orders are shipped in the order they were received. Orders placed after June 1st will be shipped within 7 days of being placed.
When do you add more items to the Online store?
Only a portion of our inventory is overwintered and available for purchase during pre-orders. The rest of our inventory will become available based on our growing season, in the mean time select "Notify Me” on the bottom right of any plant page to get an email reminder when it is back in stock.
I got a notification that the plant I requested is back in stock. Now what?
Signing up for “Notify Me” will NOT reserve a plant for you – you must return to the website and place an order. Jump on it quick because likely many others have received the same notification and supplies are limited! If the plant you are seeking is again sold out, please make sure to sign up again for an email notification for the desired plant that is out of stock.
What sizes can I purchase online?
We sell perennials in pints and trees and shrubs in a 1-gallon pots. Water it and transplant in a timely manner, care for it well and it will grow as large as the planting space allows.
I need a larger size than offered online. Where can I place an order?
Send us a message including species, size, and quantity through our Contact Form. If it’s readily available we can get you a quote right away for in-house ordering. If you are willing to wait, we can create a custom grown order to fit your needs. You can also call us at 708-534-3988 and we’d be happy to help place the order over the phone.
See our General In-House Ordering Information for more details.
When ordering pints, do I need to buy 18 of each plant or can I mix and match species to fill an 18 flat?
You can mix and match any quantity of individual species to complete a flat of 18! We do require that your order total is in multiples of 18 (18, 36, 54 etc) to completely fill the package for safe and effective shipping.
Can I pickup my online order?
You can arrange any online order for pick-up by emailing us at admin@possibilityplace.com with your name, order # and date you would like to pick-up. Please allow two business days for us to prepare your plants for pick-up.
