Olearia 'Spring Bling'

• After flowering, lightly trim back the faded flower stems to keep the shrub neat and encourage a tidy, bushy habit.

On Arrival:

• Unpack your plant carefully, straight away.
• If the compost feels dry, give it a light watering.
• Place the plant in a sheltered, bright spot outdoors or in a cool, light place if planting conditions aren’t immediately suitable.
• Try to plant it within a few days of arrival.

Planting Olearia 'Spring Bling':

• Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil.
• Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the pot and about the same depth.
• Gently remove the plant from its pot and lightly tease out any roots that look tightly packed.
• Place the plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is level with the soil surface.
• Backfill with a mix of garden soil and some multi-purpose compost to help it settle.
• Firm the soil gently around the plant and water in thoroughly.

Planting In Pots:

• Choose a container at least 25–30cm wide with good drainage holes.
• Use a free-draining compost mix, such as a multi-purpose compost blended with about 20-30% horticultural grit or perlite.
• Pot the plant at the same depth it was growing in its original pot.
• Water well after planting and place your pot in a sunny, sheltered position.

Aftercare Advice:

• Keep the soil moist while your plant is establishing. Once settled, Olearia 'Spring Bling' is drought tolerant, but water occasionally during very dry spells.
• Feed once in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or a general-purpose liquid feed to encourage healthy new growth and plenty of flowers.
• Caring in winter - in colder areas or very exposed gardens, protect young plants over their first winter by covering with horticultural fleece during severe frosts, or move potted plants to a sheltered spot if possible.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
