Why does the page take a long time to load?
For ease of comparison between plants and bulbs, we have tried to illustrate as many of the items we sell online as possible. However this does mean that each small picture (jpg) takes time to download onto your computer. For some of the larger pages this can take over a minute on a 28.8k modem. 

Return

 

When can I order?
You can order at any time of the year. We will dispatch the items at the correct planting time. There are three dispatch periods according to the type of plant or bulb ordered:

Autumn flowering bulbs will be sent out in August/September.
