![]() ![]() Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. If your order comprises of a combination of carriage charges then a combined carriage charge of £7.99 will be applied. Packet seed only will incur a carriage charge of £2.99.Īll other products incur a carriage charge of £6.99. Stake trees, taller shrubs and roses to prevent root disturbance. Set these at the same level as they were in the nursery field – you should see a soil line at the base of the stem. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting.
