Many of the bulbs and tubers we ship in spring are not hardy, we take into account the temperature in the destination country before shipping.

Hardiness Zone

The hardiness category is indicated for each individual plant species. The hardiness zones are developed by the Department of Agriculture in the United States. For plants in pots, you need to reduce the zone by two points, as potted plants freeze quicker than plants growing in open ground.
