Delivery of Plants: (Spring/Summer)

After a busy Spring we are now moving into the Summer season, at this time of year we may not have all the varieties available on our website, and are busy propagating more but there may be a 4 week delay before they are available, if you have selected something that when we come to pack your order is now out of stock we may substitute with the nearest alternative, if you have told us that substitutes are not allowed we will refund what we cannot supply unless you tell us you are happy to wait until the whole order is available. 

​

Current delivery times:  (Updated 24/05/2022) 

Orders placed now should be delivered within 11 to 21 days depending on variety, see above.  Please note we only post plants Monday, Tuesday & Wednesdays to ensure they arrive to you before the weekend.  We do not post any plants on Bank Holidays, we will also change our delivery schedule and hold your order if there is a likelihood of it being held up over a bank holiday period.

If you wish to receive your plants quicker or want to upgrade delivery, or receive them on or by a particular date the only way we can accept and deliver them quicker is with our Super Express Delivery option, with this service we will endeavour to post within 2-10 working days from receipt of order - subject to plant availability.

Delivery of Plants: (Spring)

We have now entered our Spring months and we hope you will understand that this is our busiest time of year, we appreciate that you would like your plants immediately but please remember we are a family firm and pride ourselves on our quality and service, we are also having to deal with the added difficulties that Covid19 is causing us, so with this in mind we ask that you please be patient, as orders may take longer than our usual 28 days to be dealt with.  We are also dealing with a living product that isn't sitting on a shelf waiting to be picked, packed and posted we have to propagate, nurture and grow all these varieties ready for posting and sometimes the weather isn't always in our favour or the plants don't produce enough cuttings - however rest assured we want to send your order out to you as quickly as possible and we refuse to send out plants if we ourselves are not happy with them.
