Are frost hardy lavenders the hardiest? No, they are hardy to -5C to -10C. In other words they will withstand some frost. Hardy lavenders are the hardiest and should withstand -15C.

Why no online payment? We 'phone when plants are ready to ensure all mailing details are correct and customers know exactly when their orders are arriving. We then relieve customers of their hard earned cash, just a few days before orders are mailed.

 

Why no padlock icon to show the site is secure? It is only a website that takes online payment that requires a padlock icon.
