A uniquely rare pattern, this extra large Ostrich Feather offers double blooms for exaggerated, rich colours in late summer.

Long stemmed, ruffled blooms in a fine colour range.
Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (1') apart, when frosts are over.
Sow outdoors for ease, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (1/4") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 30cm (1') apart. Water well until plants are established.
Ideal soil type: Well drained, fertile
Planting position: Part shade
Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. For long lasting cut flowers, pick just as the buds begin to show colour.
Expected height: 60cm
Expected spread: 30cm

Orders are sent via a DPD Next Day service. On the morning of the day of delivery you will receive a 1-hour delivery window via email or text.
Orders containing "pre-orders" will be despatched when the order is complete.
Pre-order delivery dates are estimated, and are therefore subject to change.
Highlands delivery is available with a surcharge calculated at checkout. Unfortunately we are unable to deliver to Northern Ireland.
If standard items are ordered with larger items marked 2 Man or Pallet Delivery, the items will be combined with that delivery method.
Please note that plants are not despatched on Fridays.

Larger items, including garden furniture, will be delivered via the appropriate courier. We offer a courier service to UK mainland addresses from Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). You will receive an email after placing your order advising which service will be used.
For products held in stock we aim to deliver within 7-10 working days of your order, providing the courier is able to contact you to arrange a suitable delivery day.

If we have attempted to deliver on the pre-booked day but no one is at the delivery address, the following charges will apply:- Pallet deliveries - £50 per pallet, 2 man deliveries - £70.
For bulk compost orders, delivery will be made on pallets. Unfortunately the delivery company will be unable to remove items from the pallet or take the pallet away with them and delivery will be made to the kerbside.
