Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get printers and bed card blanks?

 Where can I get "Never Tear" paper?

Where can I get "label tracking" and bed cards frames?

Could you print bed cards for me (I don't have a printer)?

  • We do not supply pre-printed bed cards.
  • For some customers who require a bulk batch of bed cards to be printed by an external print house at the start of the season, we are able to supply artwork to a number of print houses we work with. These arrangements are agreed on a case by case basis. If you require this service, please contact us to assess your requirements.

Can I add my own information to your tool?

  • Yes, if the free upgrade for "Adding plants" has been applied to your account.
  • You can also make your own copy of a plant we have published and change any of the data, eg to alter heights and spreads and hardiness details to suit your location.

Would you correct information that I think is wrong?

  • Yes, if your "correction" is valid.
  • There is an option in the tool to notify us of "data quality" issues. We review any issue sent and respond appropriately, either by making a correction, or giving an explantation and advising you to make your own copy with your suggested correction.
  • It's important to bear in mind that some plant data is variable given location of planting position and different suppliers of the same plant may not agree on their precise attributes.
