Polypodium x mantoniae 'Cornubiense'

We stock over 2000 varieties of plant and not all of them make it onto our website. If there is a specific variety or plant you are after, please email us on packhouse@bethchatto.co.uk

Stock levels are kept fully updated on our website.  If you plan to visit our nursery please check our website for current availability before travelling, or please email us on packhouse@bethchatto.co.uk and we can put plants aside for you. Alternatively, order through the website and select the 'Collect from our nursery - FREE' option. Please allow 3 days between ordering & pick up. 

Our plants are sold in a range of pot sizes dependent upon their growth needs:

9cm – for all our alpine plants

1 Litre –  for the majority of our herbaceous perennials

2 Litre (occasionally 3 Litre) – for shrubs and those herbaceous perennials which require a larger root run

Some plants may be supplied 'bare root' and will be of comparable size to pot grown plants.

We are pleased to be able to deliver our plants throughout the Great Britain. Unfortunately, with the current Brexit situation, we are unable to deliver to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.  We do not deliver overseas.

Rather than absorb the cost of postage within our plant price we prefer to charge a realistic postage and packing charge.

For orders dispatched to England, Wales and Scottish Lowlands the charge for delivery is:

£9.95 for orders up to £200
£15.00 for orders from £200 to £500
£20.00 for all orders over £500

Please see our Delivery Information page for more details and charges for Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland, Irish Republic, Isle of man, Isle of Wight and the Channel Isles.

Once you’ve placed your order online you will receive a confirmation email.  Your order will then be dealt with as quickly as possible by our experienced mail order team. During peak periods it can take up to 10 working days to receive your plants.  Once the team have selected your plants the status of your order will change to “processing”.  Finally - when your order has been carefully prepared and boxed and is ready to be collected by our courier - you will receive a dispatch email and can expect your plants to arrive the following day (for England, Wales & Scottish Lowlands).  We use a special fragile overnight delivery service to ensure that your plants spend the minimum amount of time in transit. Please see our Delivery Information page for more details and charges for Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland, Irish Republic, Isle of man, Isle of Wight and the Channel Isles.

Once you receive your dispatch email and APC have scanned the plants onto their system, please click on the tracking number link and you will be redirected to our couriers APC. Enter your tracking number and postcode there and you will be able to track the progess of your parcel(s).

On thre day of delivery you will also receive an email and/or text to your mobile number, with a delivery time slot.

Traditionally, the mail order plant season has run from October to March. This was because many plants would be dormant during this time of the year and foliage would either be reduced or absent, making them easier to post.

Now, mail order runs all year round and this may mean we need to cut back some of your plants, particularly from April to October. Plants with tall flowering stems and lots of foliage may lose a great deal of water in transit and cutting back helps reduce this stress. Cutting back will not harm your plants but will help in their establishment by promoting new root and shoot growth once planted.

We are accepting orders and dispatching them as soon as we can. Current delivery times are up to 1-2 weeks.  

Please note: if Government advice or our staffing situation suddenly prevents us from dispatching, then rest assured that your plants will be reserved and cared for until such a time as we can dispatch again. Orders are currently placed on this understanding.

Click & Collect FREE from nursery is available, please select at checkout

The welfare of our staff is of the upmost importance and we have put measures in place to ensure the current guidelines on social distancing and hygiene are adhered to.

If you have urgent queries regarding your order or an order enquiry, please email packhouse@bethchatto.co.uk 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support in these exceptional circumstances.
