The plug plants that we supply are mainly grown in ‘plugs’ measuring approx 3cm in diameter.

The ‘above ground’ part of the plant can vary in height depending on when it is dispatched.  A good average height would be 10cm but of course this can vary depending on the variety and the time in the season that the order is placed.

Each lot of five plug plants is packaged in a blister pack. The plants are held into position and protected from the ravages of the postal/courier system.  

We have sent many thousands of packs to addresses all over the European Union and so far have only come across a couple of packs that have been damaged enough to affect the plants inside.  

If more than one pack is ordered at a time then they are sent together in a cardboard box or jiffy bag, depending on the size of the order.

We recommend you open the pack as soon as you get it and remove the plants then gently water them to help them recover from the journey.

Orders for other items such as bare root stock, seeds and plant pots are sent in either jiffy bags, boxes or envelopes as appropriate.

If the worst happens and your order arrives damaged in any way please do let us know as soon as possible and we will either replace it or give you a refund.
