What to do when your peony plant arrives by post?
Open the box as soon as your parcel arrives, peonies and indeed all plants need light to survive, take your peony plant out and unwrap from all packaging. Give your peony a little drink of water. It is best to plant your peony in the ground or your chosen container as soon as possible once arrived. Please note all plants left in the box after delivery cannot be returned or replaced.

Plant condition
In winter, this plant dies down and is cut back. So if it's delivered between October and May, it may look dead, but it's just resting! This is traditionally the best time to plant.

Products marked as available on Back-Order are products that are in production and not ready for release yet. Products available on back-order are usually dispatched between April and June (unless otherwise stated and subject to growing season weather, our plants are grown sustainably and so rely on natural weather patterns and seasons to grow). Items are dispatched on a 24hr service, you will receive a shipping notification 24hrs prior to order arrival. If your order contains both in-stock and back-order products we will dispatch your order when all of the products are ready; if you would like to have the in-stock products delivered prior to the back-order products an additional delivery charge (£7.95) will apply and your order will be split and dispatched accordingly. Either place two separate orders on our website or contact us via email and we will assist you.
Items that are on back-order in May or June will be delivered the following year in April to June (unless otherwise stated and subject to growing season weather and conditions).
