Bareroot or potted?
-
Potted plants arrive pre-planted and will be good in this soil for the next 6-9 months. Planter sizes are chosen based on the plant's size, typically ranging from 7.5cm to 10cm pots, unless specified otherwise. We also spruce up your plant during preparation by removing any dead or aging traps before shipping. Your potted plants are sent with a protective cover and securely packed to guarantee they arrive in perfect condition - simply unwrap, water and enjoy!
-
Bare root plants are sent without pots or soil and perfect for those who want to pot up and acclimatise their own plants. Our plants and winter bulbs undergo a thorough process: they're cleaned, cut back, rinsed, and then sent to you in a protective covering with their roots wrapped in damp paper towels to keep hydrated during shipping
