Please note due to the volume of plant orders and the upcoming challenging shorter couple of weeks (King's Birthday & Matariki) it may take us a few weeks to get through shipping everyone's plant orders. We should hopefully be caught up and back to our normal shipping schedule (Mondays) by about Tuesday 24 June.

We're starting to ship our ranunc plants a little early (to help us get through as many orders as possible in the limited shipping windows), so orders sent this first week (Tuesday 3 June) may be a little on the smaller side - they are growing fast so just hold them for a week before they're more ready for planting.

Hands down my favourite lace flower of them all! Its fluffy larger outer petals make it all the more reminiscent of lacework, and a total attention stealer.

Space about 20-25cm apart in a mostly sunny spot. Reasonably good at holding itself upright (but I always grow in large groups that hold each other up, so some support maybe necessary). Annual - but leave it to self seed and it'll almost feel like a perennial.

Plant Type: Hardy Annual

Ideal Location: Full Sun / Partial Shade

Spacing: 15–30cm

Height: 70cm+

Orlaya is a prolific self seeder, remove seed pods before they brown off to limit their volunteers.

Reasonably good at keeping themselves upright during springs storms, support is likely not needed (unless it always blows a fierce gale where you plant).

Flowers hold best when harvested after the first flower on the stem has just set seed and the stems are firm. Orlaya can be wilty when it gets warmer.

Our Plant Boxes

We've designed our plant boxes to be as courier proof as physically possible to ensure your plants always arrive in top condition!

To cover the costs of our customs boxes we do however have a minimum plant order of $65 (approx. 7 plants) – you can mix & match any plants or sleeve specials to meet the minimum. (Plant Collection Boxes are however standalone boxes and do not count towards the minimums).

If you want to make the most of the shipping, our plant boxes can fit up to 10 plants per box, and for the most cost effective per plant shipping we can tape two boxes together (which fits 20 plants total).

Plant orders are shipped on Mondays (& Tuesdays).
