MAIL ORDER

All mail order prices include the post and packing  (£1.50 per litre volume) so the price you see is the price you pay, for full details please go to the Nuts & Bolts button. Large orders may be sent in multiple packages. Mainland Great Britain only at the moment I'm afraid, anywhere else by request. Not all plants are available for mail order (they may be the wrong size or out of stock or too low in numbers) but can still be on sale at the nursery. Minimum order £10.00

EXPLANATIONS

USDA zones are zones of minimum winter temperatures, roughly speaking any plant with a number 7 or less is pretty well hardy anywhere in the UK, zone 8 is hardy but some plants may need a bit of protection in particularly exposed or cold areas, zone 9 to be grown outdoors only in urban or coastal areas unless given a lot of protection, zone 10 not for outdoors in winter
