How It Works for Australian Customers
- Order from anywhere in Australia — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart. Our website works the same from any timezone.
- Pay in Euro (€) — your Australian bank converts automatically at the current rate. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay all accepted.
- We dispatch from Ireland — your plant never crosses an international border. No customs, no quarantine, no phytosanitary certificates.
- 5–8 working day delivery across Ireland — Dublin to Donegal, Cork to Galway, and everywhere in between.

Timezone tip: Ireland is 9–11 hours behind Australia (AEST/AEDT). If you order on Monday morning in Sydney, it's still Sunday night in Ireland. We dispatch Monday to Wednesday, so ordering Sunday to Tuesday AEST gives the best chance of same-week delivery. For birthdays and special dates, ordering 7–10 days ahead.
Key Dates to Remember — Ireland vs Australia
