🚚 Important Shipping Info
Howdy bulb lovers,
All orders are Pre-Orders. New Dahlia & Summer Bulb pre-orders are expected to be dispatched mid/late October.
We’re smack bang in the middle of our hectic Summer bulb harvest (yes, still out playing in the mud! 🧑🌾). Potatoes wrapped up around late July, and Dahlias/Summer bulbs wrapped around late August - now it’s curing, sorting, grading, counting, and packing your wee box of goodies (sometimes not so wee!).
Thanks to the 20,000+ Dahlia/Summer pre-orders so far, we’re dispatching Dahlias/Summer bulbs from now through late October.
During our frantic dispatch months (Aug–Oct) we pump out 300–400 orders a day, mostly in the order received. The exception: some varieties are harvested later than others - if your order includes those, it’ll head out a little later.
📦 Dispatch by Order Type
| What you ordered | Dispatch timing |

| Edibles only (spuds, garlic etc.) | Couriered within 7 days |
| Dahlias & Summer bulbs | Dispatching now → through late October |
| Non-bulb goodies (fert, gloves, soap) | Flick us an email - we’ll ship sooner |
We’ll keep this page updated with more accurate delivery times throughout the season... check back anytime 😊
