We are very sorry to hear that something is missing from your order. It may be that the item is not in stock, in which case it will be noted as such on your delivery note (attached to your parcel) and you will be refunded for the item. If you believe that something has been left off your order for any other reason, we politely request that you recheck your order, as it can be easy to miss an item. For example, when sending out bare root plants, they are often tied together in bundles and the plants take a little untangling; it can be easy to miscount initially how many plants there are. Likewise, packets of rootgrow, which come in plastic bags, are often taped to bags within the packaging, and can be easily missed, so please double check the packaging for it.

It is ideal to plant your order as soon as possible after delivery but if planting is delayed, everything will be fine! Both bareroot and pot-grown plants can be stored for a long time if necessary. If bareroot planting is delayed in winter: If your bareroot plants arrive and planting will be delayed for less than a week, open the top of the packaging leaving the roots in their bag and store them in a cold place out of the sun, ideally outside. It doesn't matter at all if the weather is freezing, but you must not move the plants around when they are frozen. If a week passes and planting is delayed even further, you need to "heel them in" by digging a little trench, lying the plants on their sides with their roots in the trench and covering them with soil. Bareroot plants must be planted properly by March in the South. Gardeners in the North can usually get away with planting well into April. If pot-grown planting is delayed: Simply put your plants in a sunny place and water them when the top inch of soil is dry. This might be every day or two in a scorching hot mid-summer, but during a wet winter it usually isn't necessary.

Freezing weather - with or without snow - can delay both delivery and planting. The key point is this: Roots break easily if they are moved while frozen. Most of a plant's energy is stored in the roots during winter. Broken roots lead to poor growth in spring and the plant will simply die if the damage is bad. The roots don't actually have to snap off: they will die below the point where they were bent while frozen. You cannot do any planting when your soil is frozen or when air temperatures are below zero. You should store your plants in a cold place (outside is best) but never in direct sunlight. Open the parcel so the tops of the plants are in the open air. You will find the roots are in a black polythene bag and they should stay inside this while the freeze continues. You should not store your plants indoors although a cold outbuilding is fine. You must not move your plants at all during freezing weather after you have stored them. When can I get planting? When you can dig the ground comfortably, unpack the plants on a day when the temperature is above freezing, wet their roots really well and plant them as normal. You can watch our How to Plant videos for more help with this bit.

Even if the soil freezes immediately after planting, your plants will be just fine. Leave them alone until the ground has completely thawed out. When it is soft again, firm the soil back around your plants by walking, not stamping around them where the soil may have lifted..
