What is the difference between 160`s, 50`s, 70’s and 12`s?
A full explanation can be found in the "How to Grow your Plants" section on the left hand side of the page. The main difference is the size of the plant and root ball, 160`s will always need to be grown on before planting out in tubs, pots or borders. The 50`s and 70’s can usually be planted straight into tubs, pots and borders but can also be grown on first if preferred. The 12`s tend to be large plants that can go straight into tubs, pots or borders.
When can I expect delivery?
You can expect delivery on a weekday via Royal Mail. The delivery period for each product is quite broad, as we only send the plants out when they are ready for transportation and in the very best condition. The delivery period for each plant is detailed within the plants description.
