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. It grows steadily in warm conditions rather than quickly. Unpack promptly, pot it up or plant it in a sheltered spot, and water it in well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
