Tube stock comes from our grower and is not always available. When the tube shows as sold out, the grower has none at the moment, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is back. Expect a small young plant that grows steadily rather than quickly, and needs warmth to do it. Unpack promptly, plant it in a sheltered spot or pot it up, and keep the soil evenly moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
