Great question and we appreciate your concern for your plants! We include one complimentary heat pack in orders November through March when appropriate. With our greenhouse being located in Ohio, our weather is variable and we will occasionally have a really warm couple of days scattered throughout this time period, in which we would not send heat packs because it would cook your plants. We also look at what state your order is shipping to in order to determine if it's in need of a heat pack or not. We may opt to send an extra heat pack with larger orders if we deem it is necessary.
Heat packs do a lovely job of protecting temperature-sensitive plants that are being shipped during the winter months. They heat up over the course of 6 hours and steadily release heat into the box for 72 hours. Depending on how long your delivery time is, your heat pack may arrive and no longer feel warm. Rest assured that the heat pack did indeed do its job!

Oh no! We hate to hear that. Unfortunately, even though all plants are healthy when they depart, things can happen during their time in transit.
