Many of our plants can be couriered nationwide via the courier guy - and at checkout these options will be displayed. IF couriering doesn't come up as an option, this means that your basket contains one or more items that cannot be couriered - due to size/or practical reasons.
In this case, please either remove from your basket, or contact us for help.
For example, our horse compost cannot be sent via courier and will therefore appear as click and collect only!
We DO offer local deliveries! To those with postcode 7130. (or in the Raithby or Somerset West area.)
NB: We normally send the plants on a Monday or Tuesday to minimise the chance they'll get stuck in a depot over the weekend.

Ericaceous (Acid) compost
Raithby, WC
Ericaceous compost is acidic and is beneficial for plants that like an acid soil. For example camellias, rhododendrons, erica’s etc.
Hydrangeas also benefit, making their colours more intense and also making certain flowers more blue in colour. The pH of an acidic soil is typically between 4.5 and 6.SKU: n/a

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 -

Phlomis russeliana
Raithby, WC
Phlomis russeliana (Jerusalum sage, Turkish sage)
This lovely plant brings interest to the garden all year round, and is one of my favourite plants.
First it has the flower buds and the resultant beautiful flowers, and then the architectural seed heads throughout Autumn.
It’s an evergreen perennial which likes full sun but will appreciate some partial shade during hot summer afternoons.
The yellow hooded flowers are in clusters well above the basal foliage which remains as a low ground covering mound.
The ornamental seed heads are a great food source for birds. It is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, dry sunny borders, wild gardens and meadows.
For sale in South Africa.
