Unfortunately, the (larger pot size) plants are not able to be sent via courier. They are click and collect only.
Alternatively, please arrange your own courier for pickup.
The smaller pot sized plants are courier-able… and this will show at checkout.
Please note: These plants naturally die back (underground) in summer (in the Western Cape) due to the restriction/withdrawal of water. If you water them well and regularly they will sprout again (depending on your location/weather). We sometimes withold water so we can ship them more easily. Plants are difficult to pack/courier in early Spring/mid Spring because they are so lush and have (long) flower spikes. We try and reflect this by changing our in stock/out of stock status, but please bear in mind the time of year when ordering.

Stanler Farm Bark mulch
Durbanville, WC
These rough bark chips are perfect for a mulch in your garden. They will keep the moisture in the soil and are great for areas such as rose gardens and feature areas. They can also be used for pathways, or walkways under trees or damp areas.
One cubic meter will cover approx 20m2 at 5cm depth – which is ok for a mulch, but this needs to be thicker for a walkway or path – around 7-10cm thick.
So with a walkway, one cubic meter will cover 10m2 at a depth of 10cm.SKU: n/a -
