New to buying plants by mail order?
Buddleja ‘Buzz’™ Collection
When I’m on my business travels, or even socializing at a BBQ, some people I speak to often don’t realise you can buy plants through the post. But for those in the know, it’s the only way to buy, as you have access to exclusive plants with world-class performance. In this week’s blog, I’ll explain a bit more about the mystery that is ‘mail order plants’…
Firstly, plants sold in commercial establishments (such as DIY stores) are selected to look good whilst they’re on display, but you’ll find they won’t go on to perform outdoors. Now, I’m not looking for a variety that flowers 2 weeks earlier than another, what I am looking for is continuous, long-lasting performance from something you can’t find elsewhere!
If you’re new to buying young plants, you might think you need a huge greenhouse or flashy equipment, but all you really need is a few pots and a windowsill. By buying young plants, you’re saving on the prices of fully-grown plants, and you can get hold of unique varieties.
If you don’t believe it’s as easy as I say, then you’ll be pleased to know that every single package of plants includes detailed growing instructions. But even if you mislay this information or want to know a bit more, you can always watch our tutorial videos.
Hardy osteospermum collection
I can’t stress enough how important it is to place your order as soon as you can. Many of our varieties are exclusive and sometimes available in limited numbers. An early start with young plants always gives benefits later in the season.
With over 20 years experience, we certainly know how to deliver quality young plants to you by mail order. It’s easy and convenient and we’ve recently re-designed our packaging to fit through most UK letterboxes, so your plants will be fresher than ever!
So, why not give it a go?
