Heavenly Creation Nursery Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plants does Heavenly Creation Nursery sell?

Heavenly Creation Nursery (HCN) specializes in African Violets, Hoya, Asian Violets (Primulina), Episcia, Streptocarpus and other collectible Gesneriads and specialty plants. Our inventory changes frequently as new plants become ready for sale.

Are HCN plants starter plants or established plants?

HCN focuses on healthy, established live plants with developed root systems rather than tiny starter plugs or unrooted cuttings unless an individual product listing specifically states otherwise. Plant and pot sizes vary, so check the individual product page for exactly what is being offered.

Where does Heavenly Creation Nursery ship?

HCN ships live plants to the contiguous 48 United States. We do not currently ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or international destinations.

Where are HCN's plants grown?

Heavenly Creation Nursery is located in Palm Harbor, Florida. All of our Gesneriads are grown and maintained in climate-controlled growing facilities where we can manage temperature, light and growing conditions throughout the year.

What does In Bloom / Budding mean?

When an eligible plant is offered as In Bloom / Budding, HCN selects an established plant that is blooming or already developing buds when it is prepared for shipment. Because plants are living products, individual flowers and buds can naturally change during packing and transit.

What does Out of Bloom (OOB) mean?

Out of Bloom means the established plant may not have flowers or active buds when shipped. It does not mean the plant is a different cultivar or lower-quality plant; it describes its current flowering stage.

Does HCN provide cold-weather protection?

Yes. HCN monitors seasonal shipping conditions and includes cold-weather protection, such as insulation and heat packs, when appropriate.

Why do some plants or varieties sell out?

HCN sells living plants, so inventory depends on growth, propagation, maturity and availability. Some cultivars and species are produced in limited quantities and may sell out until additional plants become ready.

Does HCN grow its own plants?

Yes. HCN grows and propagates plants at our nursery and also works with established growers to expand the varieties we can offer.

Where can I find care instructions for my plant?

Use the care information provided for the particular plant or plant group. Hoya, African Violets, Asian Violets and other Gesneriads can have substantially different growing requirements, so HCN's plant-specific and collection-specific guidance should take precedence over generic houseplant advice.

Where can I find current prices and availability?

The individual product page is the authoritative source for current price, inventory, available variants, pot size and bloom status.
