Have you pre-ordered? When you buy with Marshalls often times you will purchase ahead of the growing season. Pre-ordering ensures items are grown and reserved for you. We only send plants out at the optimum planting time for that species and when the weather conditions are suitable.

Broad guidelines can be found in the table below. Specific timing for each plant can be found on individual product pages, as well as displayed when adding to your basket (e.g. ‘Delivery from mid-May').

We do everything possible to send out plants to you on the dates specified on our website or in our catalogue. However, some factors outside of our control, such as weather, may affect plant growth and therefore delivery dates. We will keep you updated if this occurs on expected delivery dates.
