Here at Kelways, we offer an extensive selection of plants all year round, not simply when the plants are "doing their thing". This means that you can take advantage of the opportunity to plant some of them out-of-season in the autumn and early spring, when they will root quickly and give you stunning displays the following season, so whilst they may not look "the bee's knees" immediately when ordering outside of the normal flowering time, you can be assured of an amazing result.
Please note that depending on the season, some plants may be cut-back in their dormancy period as well as when the plant is simply too tall for us to be able to safely pack it. This in no way will detract from it's future performance in the garden.
Whilst we aim to stock as large a selection of plants as possible in the plant centre, not all plants available through the website will necessarily be available in the plant centre.
We work closely with a number of local specialist growers to offer you a comprehensive range of plants to complement the wide selection we grow ourselves on our Somerset nursery.
If you are ordering for Click & Collect, please wait until you have received an email from us to let you know that your order is ready to be collected.
Some of the larger plants we offer are not available for Mail Order as they are either too large or delicate for us to be able to ship via courier. These plants will be marked as Click & Collect Only. Should you live further afield but would still like to purchase some of these plants, please feel free to contact us and we can look into other options where we may be able to organise delivery to you. Please note though that this may be more expensive or require a slightly longer lead time. Our mail order office is open Monday to Friday 9am-2pm for phone calls. Outside of these hours, please drop us an email and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible. Please note that our plant centre is not able to assist with mail order or website-related enquiries.
If there are any plants you particularly want and do not see them available on the website, please do drop us an email with your wish lists and we will do all we can to help source them for you.
