How to Order Alaska Hardy® Perennials

Fritz Creek Gardens is home to Alaska Hardy® Perennials. In season, we grow and sell more than 500 different varieties of cold-hardy perennials, and many varieties of trees, shrubs, roses, and hanging baskets. You can buy our plants in person or by mail order.

In Person

Fritz Creek Gardens is a retail garden center, open to the public generally from about mid-April to mid-August.

If you are Alaskan, or even are visiting Alaska from outside, we especially invite you to visit our dazzling display gardens and retail sales yard. We're easy to find: just 8.5 miles on East Road from downtown Homer, Alaska.

We gladly accept checks and VISA and MasterCard credit cards.

Mail Order

Many of the perennials, roses and shrubs we grow also can be purchased through mail order, and we welcome your inquiry. Although we do not support direct online ordering at this time, you can place your order by phone, fax or through the mail. Here's how: print our order form and fill out accordingly. You can then phone in your order to (907) 235-4969 during normal business hours, fax it to (907) 235-8116 any time, or mail it to us at Fritz Creek Gardens, PO Box 15226, Homer, AK 99603.

Shipping

We now ship anywhere in Alaska and to most U.S. states. Just like our gardens, our shipping season is dependent upon Mother Nature. We try to start shipping by April 15 and continue through September 15 for our Alaska customers. We will do our best to ship on the dates you request.

Plants will be shipped by Homer Stageline Parcel Service, UPS ground or by the U.S. Postal Service, depending on your location. UPS cannot ship to a post office box; please include a physical address when you order.

Our shipping charge is $1.75 for each perennial plant ordered. Note that roses, shrubs and some specialty plants cost more, depending on size and weight. We will inform you of these charges.

Substitutes

We don't want to disappoint you if you have your heart totally set on a plant, but if we run out may we substitute? We will try as hard as we can to fulfill your first requests. Sometimes, however, we may have sold out of certain plants.

With your order, please indicate whether substitutes are acceptable. Many times we can simply substitute a different variety or cultivar of the same plant. If you do not wish to receive substitutes, and we cannot completely fill your order, we will issue you a credit for other products, or refund that amount by check or a credit back to your card.

Guarantee

We guarantee our plants to be healthy and hardy. We try our very best to make sure the plant matches its name. With all the name changes lately, there's a tiny chance we might mess up! Please let us know and we will make it right. We'll either replace the plant or refund your money. Please be prompt and let us know within five days of receipt.

Likewise, please let us know within five days of receipt if your order is damaged in any way. We guarantee that plants leave our nursery healthy and well-packed. Damage during shipping can occur. Please let us know!

Thank you so much for your order! Please don't hesitate to contact us by phone at (907) 235-4969, or e-mail if you have questions.
