Products and Orders
The descriptions and images of products on our Site are a representation only and are not to be taken literally or compared with. Variations may occur from time to time due to seasonal changes – for example, plants not in flower as shown, height or size of plants, colours of plants (unless specified), plants losing leaves in winter or simply growing much slower. As we are dealing with live products, there are many factors involved with survival and performance respectively.
Whilst we try to make every effort to ensure that all our products are aligned with the product images and descriptions on our Site, certain products are subject to seasonal availability. In the event that they are unavailable, we will substitute with a similar product or variety of equal or higher value. Should this occur we may notify you prior to the order being dispatched.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or not process any order placed on our Site if the price or other description information was an error. Should this occur we will notify you by email.
We can offer no Warranty or Guarantee including but not limited to the growth performance and sustainability of any product as we are dealing with live products.
Plant care, advice and tips on our Site are to be taken only as a guide.
