Standard Pots
While shopping Preorders, please use the "Spring Preorder" filter.
All Spring species are in one of what we are calling "standard" sizes: DP50s, 2x2x3" pots, or "pints". These sizes are all comparable- container shape depends on each nursery's preference.
Preorders are expected to be 2x2x3" pots, but we may substitute another standard size depending on grower availability.
