Each pack is an assortment and we cannot select or guarantee particular colours, so you may receive purples, blues, pinks, reds or white, and more than one plant of a colour. They are deciduous, so in the cooler months plants may arrive as bare or cut-back stems, which shoot in spring. Have a trellis or obelisk in place and handle the brittle stems gently. Our growers do not hold every size all year, so a size can show as on backorder at times. An order for a backorder size is confirmed with you before anything ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/climbers\"\u003eBrowse our climbers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-cool-climates\"\u003ePlants for cool climates\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/perennial-plants-for-a-cottage-garden\"\u003ePerennial plants for a cottage garden\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flowering-plants\"\u003eFlowering plants for every season\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I choose the colours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. These are sold as assorted colours and the mix varies from pack to pack.
