Packaging & Shipping Information
Each plant is sent in its own box to keep it safe in the post and is shipped with full care instructions. The plant varieties available will change throughout the season. Plants are sent in 1Ltr (13cm) pots.
Pre-ordered plants are shipped out as soon as the plants are mature enough and have a root ball which is strong enough to cope with the shipping process.
Please be aware that if you place an order that contains a mix of 'pre-order' and 'buy it now' items, your order may be delayed until all items are ready to send. This is because we aim to send your entire order in one shipment. Thank you for your patience.

My plant has thrived and grown rapidly since I received it at the end of April 2025, along with a few other varieties in 1-litre pots.
It’s grown rapidly and is currently flowering. It looks healthy enough but is slower to produce fruit than the other varieties I own (Prairie Fire, Purple Tiger and Red Missile). I’m not complaining and suspect that’s simply characteristic of the variety.
Delivered promptly and in great condition
I knew that I was buying quality plants because I had previously bought from here a few years ago. The plant arrived SUPERBLY boxed with no chance of damage and also Tracked Next Day Delivery Royal Mail. The plant was almost at full height when it arrived - but has now 3 weeks later , grown its triple crown and is throwing out flower buds and top leaves at 60cm tall. Totally happy with this purchase.
I received my plant yesterday and am delighted with it. It was beautifully packed to ensure no damage en route. That ensured it arrived in excellent condition, simply requiring unpacking and a little watering.
It’s thriving indoors for now. I’ll report back once it starts producing chillies.
