At our nursery, we grow different varieties of the same plant. Plants are living organisms and can therefore differ from one another. Variations in colour and size are possible.
The images shown alongside our products are for illustrative purposes. These photos provide a realistic idea of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications listed refer to the plant you will receive. Please read the characteristics carefully before placing your order.
What are example images?
We offer an extremely wide and varied selection, with thousands of plants. As individual plants change shape, colour and size from week to week, it is impossible for our small team to photograph them all.
You will therefore rarely receive the exact plant shown in the photo. Our aim is to offer you a pleasant, environmentally friendly shopping experience with complete peace of mind.
If you prefer to browse the plants in person, we also have a physical shop. Please see our contact page for opening hours and further information.
