Please Check Your Plants When They Arrive
We ask that you inspect your plants as soon as they arrive.
If a plant arrives damaged, unhealthy, shows signs of disease, or you receive an incorrect plant or quantity, please contact Cottage Farms within 48 hours of delivery.
Please include your order number and clear photos of the affected plant(s) so our team can quickly evaluate the issue and help make it right. Please do not discard the plant until we've reviewed your claim, as we may need additional photos or information.

Claims During the 90-Day Guarantee
Sometimes a plant looks great when it arrives but has difficulty establishing after planting. If you experience a problem within the 90-day guarantee period, we're here to help.
Please contact us within 90 days of the original delivery date and provide:
- Your order number
- Current photos of the affected plant(s)
- Any information requested about where and how the plant was planted and cared for
Photos are required for all claims under the 90-Day Plant Guarantee.
Whenever possible, our team may first offer care recommendations to help your plant recover and thrive.
What's Covered
Our 90-Day Plant Guarantee covers eligible plants that fail to establish despite appropriate planting and reasonable care.
For an approved claim, you may choose:
- Replacement of the affected plant, subject to availability
- Refund of the amount paid for the affected plant
- Cottage Farms store credit for the amount paid for the affected plant
If the original plant is unavailable, we'll work with you to select another available resolution.
What's Not Covered
Plants are living things, and their appearance and performance can be affected by weather, location, planting conditions, and care.
The guarantee does not cover plant loss or damage caused by:
- Improper planting or care
- Overwatering or underwatering
- Extreme weather, including freezes, excessive heat, drought, flooding, or storms
- Pests, wildlife, or animal damage
- Planting outside the plant's recommended USDA hardiness zone
- Growing conditions outside the plant's recommended requirements
Normal seasonal changes, dormancy, transplant or shipping stress, temporary leaf loss, and natural variations in plant size, shape, foliage, bloom color, or bloom timing are not considered plant failure.
The guarantee does not promise a specific growth rate, mature size within a particular timeframe, flowering or fruiting performance, or an exact appearance.
Annuals and seasonal plants ordered for delivery outside the recommended planting period for the customer's growing zone are not covered by the 90-Day Plant Guarantee.
Replacements, Refunds & Store Credit
Approved refunds and store credits are based on the actual amount paid for the affected plant after any discounts or promotions.
Replacement plants are subject to availability. If the original plant is unavailable, you may choose a refund or Cottage Farms store credit for the amount paid for the affected plant.
There is no additional shipping charge for an approved replacement plant.
Original shipping charges are not refundable under the 90-Day Plant Guarantee unless the issue resulted from an error by Cottage Farms.
Each eligible plant purchase is limited to one resolution under the 90-Day Plant Guarantee. Once a replacement, refund, or store credit has been issued for an affected plant, the guarantee claim for that plant is considered resolved.
The guarantee applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
