What to expect

Here are three examples of plants awaiting dispatch to give you some idea of what we typically send out. This is a minimum for size ordered. They can be bigger as the crop matures, but always fresh and ready to grow away.

Always, when doing price comparisons remember to check what you are getting.

We do not offer cell or plug plants.

Do bear in mind that some plants may not have leaves on in the Autumn/Winter (deciduous), and some herbaceous plants may go completely dormant (die right back) during the winter. They will though, have a healthy root system and buds waiting to burst in the Spring.

Some plants may have been lightly trimmed or pruned to facilitate packing. This also keeps delivery costs to a realistic level. 

As with all interests you may come across “Jargon” or terms used in the Trade. Please don’t be put off by this, but just avoid confusion here is a short glossary of the most common ones to get you started:-

• Shrub A woody plant that keeps its top growth above ground
• Herbaceous A plant that dies away (usually for winter), re growing after a resting period.
• Perennial A plant that is permanent or returns to growth every year.
• Deciduous A plant that loses its leaves and takes up a resting period (usually in Autumn), regrowing usually in Spring.
• Evergreen A plant that retains its foliage all year. Evergreens lose old leaves but the process is seamless.
