Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure the plant I receive is blue?
Some plants are available in multiple colours. To make sure you get a blue hue, look for a plant option dropdown menu if available, or add a note in the "Any Special Requests" box specifying your colour choice. Blue plants are popular year round, but certain species peak at particular seasons. For example Hyacinths are usually classic for Winter / Christmas, Cape Primrose and Blue Clematis perform well in spring/summer and Hardy Plumbago may bloom in late summer to autumn.
Can I send a blue flowering plant as a gift, and can I include a message?
Yes, absolutely. Each blue plant gift will be gift wrapped and a card with your personal message can be added. Don't forget to choose your pot to pair with your plant from the "Free Container" drop down menu.
Can I request a blue themed planter?
Yes! Our planters are made fresh on a daily basis at our nursery. You can request a palette of blues (or blues mixed with purples, whites etc.) in the special instructions, and we’ll arrange accordingly.
How do I ensure my blue hydrangea stays blue?
To keep your hydrangeas blue, maintain an acidic soil environment, aiming for a pH of around 5.2–5.5 for the best results.
