Standard Pots

While shopping Preorders, please use the "Spring 26" filter.

All species listings in this collection are in one of what we call "standard" sizes: DP50s, 2x2x3" pots, or "pints". These sizes are all comparable- container shape depends on each grower's preference.

Preorders are expected to be 2x2x3" pots, but we may substitute another standard size depending on grower availability.
