  8. Luke Whiting (store manager)

    Hi Steve
    Thank you for taking the time to review your plants. We hope you get many years of joy from them as they establish in your garden.
    Regarding delivery we currently ship all orders form the previous week on the following Wednesday. So if ordered on a Monday it is 10 days till DPD drop it off at your door and if ordered on a Sunday it appears 5 days later. We send in this way due to having 600 varieties it is easier and more environmentally friendly to pick up all previous week plants on the Monday. We then quality control them and place in individual orders for packing on the Wednesday. This is all in the delivery terms on our Website (even I forget to look at other website delivery pages, so please don’t worry you missed this) and on the invoices emailed to you. We hope to be able to ship plants quicker in future but haven’t found a more efficient process yet. Please accept my apologies for the current time frame.
    All the best
    Luke

    This was received looking rather spindly

  11. Luke Whiting (store manager)

    Hi Gill
    Thank you for taking the time to review your purchases. These plants are going over to dormancy now and so will be looking rather tatty at this point. Please be assured that the bulbs are of flowering size as we split these in Autumn form mature stock plants. They should thrive in poor soils and create a superb display for you next year.
    All the best
