Twelve days from the dahlias
I followed the care card to the letter - re-cut every two days, fresh water - and the Café au Lait dahlias lasted twelve days. The box is entirely paper and cardboard, which matters to me.
Olive Tree in Terracotta
Potted standard olive · Impruneta clay pot
A small standard olive with a slender grey trunk and a lollipop crown of silver leaves, grown on in a peat-free mix and potted in hand-pressed terracotta from Impruneta, outside Florence. It is happy on a bright windowsill all winter and on a balcony from April to October.
Olives like a lot of light and very little fuss: water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, a little less in winter, and turn the pot every few weeks so the crown grows evenly. A care card for the first year comes in the box.

Sent a Classic Hackney to my mum on her birthday at short notice. The rider texted a photo on delivery and the handwritten card was lovely. It looked like an armful from a garden, not a supermarket.
Rated 4.0 out of 5 Beautiful, travelled well by courier
Outside London so it came next day by courier - still perfectly fresh in its water pouch. One star off only because the Deluxe was a little smaller than I imagined; the stem counts on the size guide are accurate though.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 Our wedding, exactly as we pictured it
Hattie walked us round the dahlia field in August and built everything from what was in flower that week. No foam, nothing flown in, and they pressed our leftover stems into a frame for us.
