Please note: Plants are living products and may therefore differ from the photo and description. We grow in a natural way and only intervene when necessary, which can sometimes cause the plant to show minor imperfections. These often recover in your garden. We guarantee that our plants are vigorous and long lasting. They are supplied in recyclable growing pots and are shipped directly from our nursery.
