'Four Seasons' Heather Collection

Planting Advice for Heathers:

• Heathers prefer full sun and well-drained, acidic soil conditions.
• Heathers can be planted anytime ground conditions are not frozen or waterlogged, and make perfect candidates for containers as long as they are kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
• Before planting, water these established, nursery potted plants well.
• Dig a hole a little deeper and three times the width of the nursery pot.
• If your soil is heavy, open it up by adding horticultural grit.
• Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
• Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
• Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
• Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.

Aftercare Advice for Heather:

• Feed in late winter and early spring to encourage good flower colour. Use an ericaceous feed or one suitable for heathers.

Pruning Advice for Heather:

• Heather should be pruned each year when the blooms fade, which will encourage more flowers.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
