Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.

Low maintenance and tolerant of coastal conditions away from the wind, as well as more sheltered, free-draining inland gardens. In exposed or colder areas, grow it in a container and bring it under cover, frost-free, for the winter. Bees, butterflies and moths love it.

H3 — hardy in mild areas of the UK (-5°C to -10°C). Bring under cover in colder regions.
