Plants are sold in half litre sized pots (9cm pots that are nearly pint sized, about 520ml in capacity). All the cultivars we sell have been grown and tested in our own garden (which is an RHS partner garden open to the public). When your plants arrive they can usually be planted straight out after soaking in water for 3 or 4 minutes. A good rule of thumb; make the soil level of the pot level with the rest of your border when planting out. Another rule of thumb; nearly all our plants will grow in indirect sunlight; we are in the British Isles after all. Another rule of thumb (!); Plants usually do better in the ground, which is unsurprising because that where they can from! Containers are ok if plants are kept fed and watered during their growing months, and in a warmer place during the winter. Try not to over water! During the year plants can be in various states of growth. The same plant delivered in early spring could be much bigger or smaller if delivered in late spring. Please be aware of this when ordering or receiving them. Some plants may have their flowers and foliage cut back when we send them, and look a bit awful! Don't worry, it is for their own good; some plants like to travel light. Similarly bulbs, rhizomes, and some plants may be dormant or dying back for the year when you order them, they may even look dead - that is the nature of hardy perennials so don't worry. Plant them out and wait, perhaps until next year, patience is a virtue in the hardy perennial game. Eventually your hardy perennials should grow back beautiful year after year. Again, this is the nature of hardy perennials - they die back and grow back, die back and grow back, year after year after year. Some years are better than others. You get the picture! Postage and packaging is a flat fee of £3.99 per order If you are for some reason upset in any way please contact us - we're human.

Excellent pulmanaria
Within two days of ordering this plant arrived, protectively packaged and in superb condition. The plant has a strong healthy root system (not root bound) and has a great many scarlet and blue flowers. The abundant leaves are a very pretty mottled green with no discolouration or breakage. It is now in my garden looking proud of itself.I would definitely buy plants from this Seller again.

Small but healthy plant
It turned up tiny and bent - about 4 inches tall. But it is now growing well and has flowers. I gave it 3 stars because it started slow. I might give it more stars later

Tis a bit ragged round the edges but has now started to grow new leaves. I think the hot weather didn’t help with the transport.

Received damaged, smaller than expected, optimistic it will grow back

Added foliage to a bare spot
Not only did it grow upwards, but also spread outwards
