Please note that ferns are difficult to move from September to May and some will be dormant at this time, making it difficult to judge their health. We will therefore usually delay sending orders placed at this time until spring. Please keep this in mind if ordering in winter. Also plants being living things and stock sometimes selling out unexpectedly, the presence of a plant in the catalogue cannot be a complete guarantee of availability. Terms of business On line orders U.K. only. All payments on line are through PayPal. If you wish to pay by cheque please see our mail order list. Mail Order List Note: only ferns of the smallest size - generally 1 Litre pots but sometimes less- will be sent out mail order, as bare rooted plants. Generally plants will be posted on the Monday following the order to arrive on the Tuesday or Wednesday, but please allow up to 28 days for delivery. Ferns are offered subject to availability. If ordering more than ten of any one kind it may be advisable to check by telephone first. For ready made collections click here.ADIANTUM Adiantum pedatum. Hardy Maidenhair.
