Returns policy
Because plants are perishable, the standard 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply. Instead, we offer a 1-day return window from the date of delivery.
If you notice any issues with your plants, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery and provide clear photographs so we can assist you promptly.
Plants must be returned in their original condition, ideally using the same courier service. Return shipping costs are your responsibility unless the item is confirmed as faulty or not as described.

Unlike some competitors, our rootball height is a true planted height – measured from the top of the rootball to the top of the plant
Always leave the hessian sacking in place on rootball plants – it will naturally degrade over time

Planting Tips
💧 Watering – Essential for Success
Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.
Rootballed Plants
Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.
Trees & Tall Plants
When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
