To protect you from fraud when you are shopping online, new regulations are being introduced. This will mean that you may sometimes have to confirm your identity when purchasing an item online or via our app.

You could either be sent a short code when you are making a payment, by text or email, which you will need to enter to complete the purchase, or use your banking app to confirm that you are the cardholder

It is important that you keep your mobile phone number and contact details up to date with your bank or card provider. This will ensure that you will be able to make that online purchase if your bank or card provider wants to check that it is you using the card to make the payment.

If you cannot complete a purchase using your card to shop on our website or in our app then please contact your card issuer for assistance.

We offer Standard and Named Day delivery services. Unfortunately, our Next Day delivery service is temporarily suspended.

For more information on delivery, please see here.

To ensure your order reaches you as quickly as possible, some items including bulbs, bedding, compost, selected pots, seeds and items shipped directly from our trusted suppliers may arrive ahead of other items in your order.

The majority of items marked as 'in stock' will be shipped within 4 - 6 working days (excluding weekends and public holidays). Once shipped, please allow 3 working days to receive most items and up to 5 working days for seeds.

Your order's shipment date is determined by the item with the longest availability lead time i.e. if an item has a 4 week lead time, your order will be held until all items are available to be shipped together, which may be at any point within the 4 weeks. Bulbs and direct supplier items are dispatched separately so may arrive ahead of other items in your order.

Unfortunately we cannot offer a delivery service to the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Channel Islands or addresses outside the UK. We also do not offer a delivery service to BFPO addresses. We can, however, deliver to the Isle of Wight for a £10 delivery surcharge.

We genuinely want everyone to truly excited by the arrival of their plants, but if you have ordered your plants during the colder months of the year, then they probably won't be looking their best. That's because most plants go into a dormant phase in winter, and unlike many plants that you will see in your local garden centre, we don't 'force' our plants into growth. Therefore, our deciduous plants will have shed all their leaves, and the herbaceous perennials will have died right back to below ground level. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with them, it's just a natural part of their life cycle. In fact, by growing them in the same conditions as you have at home, the plants are tougher, and therefore less likely to suffer a setback when they are planted out.

Ideally you should try to get all your fully hardy plants in the ground as soon as possible (provided it's not frozen or waterlogged), as it's quite possible that their roots will spread and grow - even in winter. Then, when the temperatures start to rise again in spring, the plants will burst into life and put on lots of fresh new top growth. If they don't, keep in mind that all our fully hardy plants are covered by a 5 year guarantee, so please let us know and give us the chance to put things right.

You can return anything you're not happy with within 28 days of receiving it provided you have contacted us within 14 days of receipt to advise of its return and that it's not something you've tried out and not liked! We will not pay the costs of returning an item to us.
