About Monrovia Nursery and the plants we grow

Fall and winter are the perfect time to start dreaming about next year’s garden. As your dreams evolve into plans, it’s time to reserve the plants at the top of your wishlist. Whether it’s an exciting new exclusive that you just have to see in your garden, or that perfect plant you were missing this year, now’s the time to make sure those special plants make it to you next spring.

We have been nurturing plants that Grow Beautifully® for nearly 100 years. We know when plants are ready to leave our care and ship to garden centers across the US. The decision on when to ship a plant depends on a variety of factors, including the plant's natural timetable, which of our nursery locations it is grown at, local weather, and your location.  

In general, plants will ship after the last frost date in your area, or when garden centers start receiving fresh plants after the holidays. Because of all the different aspects of growing and shipping healthy plants, your pre-order can take between 10 and 20 weeks to arrive at the garden center of your choice.

As every gardener knows, growing beautiful plants takes time and care. We appreciate your patience and understanding with our shipping process and timeline.
