Westringia fruticosa

• Unpack the plant straight away and give it a good check over. Water the compost if it feels dry, as plants can sometimes dry slightly during transit. Place the plant somewhere bright and sheltered while you prepare its planting position. If frost is forecast, keep it in a protected spot such as a porch, greenhouse or conservatory until conditions improve.

How To Plant

• Choose a sunny, sheltered position with very well drained soil.
• Westringia dislikes sitting in cold, wet ground during winter, so good drainage is essential. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and mix in some horticultural grit or coarse sand if your soil is heavy.
• Gently remove the plant from its pot, place it at the same depth it was growing, then backfill and firm lightly. Water well to settle the soil around the roots.
• This shrub also grows very well in large patio containers. Use a good quality multipurpose compost mixed with a little grit to improve drainage.

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.

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.
