Westons Salvias
OCTOBER - There is still an abundance of colour here on the nursery so keep on shopping!!
Welcome to my specialist nursery , featuring a wide selection of plants from this huge and diverse family. Salvia is the latin for sage.......but there is a lot more to this group of plants than the familiar culinary herb - the majority of the many varieties I sell are very hardy and long flowering and the tender ones will fill your garden with colour in October and November!
My name is Vicki - wait for it - Weston! and I have been selling plants online from my Welsh nursery for many years and all orders are very carefully packed and sent by next day courier
All of the plants are propagated and grown on here on my nursery and every plant you receive in the season will either be in bud or flower.
AUTUMN AND WINTER SALES - October and November plants may well still have flowers though larger tender types mah have been cutback as over a metre is hard to send! After this - December - February - plants will be dormant with minimal top growth but perfectly ready to start into growth with the new season
SPRING SALES - what to expect - you will receive a a well rooted plant which will flower this season with foliage already cut back on hardy varieties
Tender plants will all have new growth at the base.
SOLD OUT does NOT mean I will never have any more, but that I am waiting for the next batch to be ready - during the main season root and pot on over a hundred plants a day so please keep checking back, as I list each day
PLEASE DO ASK if you have a project planned for next year requiring larger numbers than I have listed, I am very happy to discuss wholesale orders but do need a bit of notice to propagate to order.

To reassure you all on packaging - I know this can be a worry - I have been sending mature plants successfully for 10 year and below is a picture of an order just before I tape the double wall cardboard box down and as you can see each plant is securely is in it own cardboard roll 'cell'.
NB DUE TO BREXIT RULES I CANNOT CURRENTLY SEND PLANTS TO NORTHERN IRELAND. MANY APOLOGIES FOR THIS
POSTAGE COSTS AND ORDERING INFORMATION
The specialised nature of sending plants by courier means I do have a minimum order value of £20 . Postage is calculated at the checkout and is free for orders over £50
I very much regret to say i can no longer send plants to Northern Ireland due to a huge increase in postage costs following Brexit.
Orders of £20-£25 have a delivery charge of £6.00
Orders of £25-£50 have a delivery charge of £8.50
Orders of £50 + have free postage!
Packaging Example
Safely wrapped plants - I take great care to ensure they reach you in the same state they left me. I use APC Overnight couriers who often deliver before midday the following day.

A word about pot sizes....
My salvias are available in 3 different sizes of pot - plant ages are a guide only, as some plants grow much faster than others
one litre, 1-2 year old plant, 6 inches diameter
Two litre - 2-3 year old plant, 8 inches diameter
Three litre - 3 -4 year old plant, 10 inches diameter
my glamorous assistant here is demonstrating the difference!
Each plant in the catalogue has a drop down menu showing which size is available to purchase.
