Pot sizes of plants

The plants we send you in the mail are grown in our tall narrow pots, specifically designed to travel well in the post whilst maintaining a well-formed root system so they will transplant well into your garden.

Different sized pots are used for different type plants. The size of the pot is listed for each pant we sell on our website and in our magazines, so you know what to expect when it arrives.
