What will I receive when I order?

You'll receive the item listed on this page, carefully packed to protect it in transit. If it's a live plant, it's supplied as a young, healthy plant ready to pot on or plant out after hardening off.

Are your plants suitable for beginners?

Yes. We choose strong stock and provide clear growing guidance so beginners can get great results. If you're unsure where to start, choose an easy-care variety and follow the basic potting and watering steps.

How quickly do you dispatch orders?

Orders are packed and dispatched as quickly as possible, with live plants prioritised for freshness. Dispatch speed can vary with weather conditions to protect plant quality.

How are live plants packaged for delivery?

Live plants are packed to reduce movement and prevent damage, with protection around the root area and foliage where needed. This helps them arrive in the best condition possible.

What should I do when my plants arrive?

Unpack straight away, check moisture, and place plants somewhere bright and sheltered. If they're young plants, pot them on if needed and harden them off before planting outside.

Can I order more than one item and combine postage?

Yes. Ordering multiple items together is a great way to build a planting scheme and usually works out more efficient than separate orders.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes. We ship within the UK. If your area has specific delivery restrictions for live plants, we'll follow the correct requirements.

What happens if something arrives damaged?

Contact us as soon as possible with photos of the packaging and item. We'll put it right quickly and fairly.

What are plug plants?

Plug plants are young plants grown in individual cells, designed to be potted on to grow stronger before planting out. They're a cost-effective way to fill borders, baskets, and beds.

Are plug plants “garden ready” when they arrive?

They're young plants, so they may need potting on and a short period of growing-on. Once roots strengthen and the plant is actively growing, it's ready to plant out after hardening off.

Salvia 'Amethyst Lips' x 3 Pack – 5cm Plug Plants - FREE P&P

Salvia 'Amethyst Lips' x 5 Pack – 5cm Plug Plants - FREE P&P

A striking, two‑toned Salvia with “imperial purple” and white flecked flowers, compact growth, and long-season colour — perfect for pots, borders, and wildlife gardens.

Salvia ‘Amethyst Lips’ is a compact, eye-catching sage with small bright green leaves and distinctive two‑toned purple‑and‑white flowers. Cooler months bring deeper, richer purples, while summer heat encourages more white flecking — giving you a plant that subtly changes character as the seasons shift.

Perfect for pots, borders, wildlife-friendly areas and cottage gardens, this Salvia flowers for months on end and is adored by bees. The neat habit and constant blooms make it a fantastic performer even in smaller spaces.

Your 5cm plug plants are strong, rooted, and ready to plant out — or pot on if you prefer to grow them a little more before placing them in the garden.
