FAQs

Will I get the same plants as shown in the images?

No, the images are for illustrative purposes. The mystery box contains a rotating selection based on nursery availability.

Can I choose the specific plants in my box?

The mystery box is a curated surprise selection, so individual variety requests cannot be accommodated.

What should I do if the plant is dormant?

Plant it as directed. Dormant plants are alive but resting. They will naturally break dormancy as the season progresses.

How often should I water the new plants?

Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the first growing season, especially during dry spells.

Are these plants guaranteed to return every year?

Yes, these are selected as hardy herbaceous perennials, meaning they are designed to return year after year given proper care and planting site.

Troubleshooting

Plants arrived with no leaves

Many perennials are deciduous and arrive in a dormant state during colder months. Plant them as usual; they will emerge when the soil warms in spring.

Plants look 'pruned' or short

Nursery teams prune plants to stimulate root development and bushier growth. This is a sign of healthy plant management.

Leaves wilting after planting

This is often due to transplant shock. Ensure you are providing sufficient water and check that the soil is not too sandy or compacted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cost-effective way to source high-quality established plants
Removes the decision fatigue of choosing individual varieties
Plants are already established in 9cm pots for easier transplanting
Encourages plant diversity in the garden

Cons

Specific plant varieties cannot be pre-selected
Deciduous plants may arrive in a dormant state without leaves
Plants may arrive pruned to encourage healthier future growth
Requires knowledge of planting site conditions to ensure success

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your new perennials thrive, follow these guidelines for successful establishment:

Preparation: Clear your chosen site of weeds and work organic compost into the soil to improve drainage and nutrient content.
Planting: Dig a hole twice the width of the 9cm pot and place the plant at the same depth it was in the nursery pot.
Watering: Water thoroughly immediately after planting to eliminate air pockets around the roots. Maintain consistent moisture throughout the first growing season.
Maintenance: If plants arrive dormant or pruned, do not be alarmed; this is a standard nursery practice to ensure plant health. If you receive them in winter, the plant may have no foliage—this is natural as the plant is in its resting phase.
Long-term care: Most varieties will naturally die back underground in late autumn. Mulch the area to protect the root crown during the coldest months.
