Here at Mail Order Trees, getting your trees and plants to you quickly and in perfect condition is our top priority. A great feature of our specially designed cardboard boxes is that they are 100% recyclable, which will help to reduce your carbon footprint even further.
We have a standard flat rate charge of £9.95 per consignment (including VAT) to England and Wales so the more you buy, the more you save! Prices for Scotland, Grampian, the Highands can be calculated in the checkout area. Unfortunately we are unable to ship to any other locations aside from these. This means we do not ship to Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland/Ireland and any Scottish Islands.
Our usual delivery time is up to 7-10 working days. We will, as ever, aim to stick to our usual timescale but please be aware that this may not always be possible. Please take the time to fill out the special instructions box in the checkout area with the details of a neighbour or safe place that your trees can be left. Every effort will be made to make deliveries in this time or on a date requested by you.
Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for delayed deliveries due to factors beyond our control such as Public Holidays or adverse weather conditions which make it impossible to lift bare-rooted trees. In cases such as these, you will be notified.
We can only deliver to physical addresses and not to PO boxes. A complete address including correct postcode must be provided. Incorrect postcodes cause more delays than omitting the postcode altogether.
Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for orders not received if an incorrect address is provided. It will also be necessary to give us details of where to place items should you be out when the delivery arrives. Mail-Order-Trees cannot be responsible for items lost if we have followed your instructions. A contact telephone number can also be very useful to our courier.
Filipendula ulmaria, commonly known as Meadowsweet, is a robust and attractive perennial plant that is native to damp meadows and riverbanks across Europe and Asia. It is well-loved for its frothy clusters of creamy-white flowers that bloom from early to mid-summer, filling the air with a sweet, honey-like fragrance. The delicate, lacy flowers contrast beautifully with the plant's deeply veined, dark green leaves, which have a slightly serrated edge and give off a pleasant, almond-like scent when crushed.
Meadowsweet typically grows to a height of 1-2 meters (3-6 feet), with a spread of about 60-90 cm (2-3 feet). It thrives in moist, fertile soils and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for planting alongside ponds, streams, or in damp, low-lying areas of the garden. Hardy in the UK to RHS hardiness rating H6, Filipendula ulmaria can withstand the coldest British winters, down to around -20°C (-4°F), making it a reliable and enduring addition to the garden.
This plant is relatively low-maintenance, requiring little care beyond ensuring it has adequate moisture, particularly during dry spells. Meadowsweet is also known for its medicinal properties; traditionally, it has been used for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, particularly in herbal remedies for treating headaches and fevers.
Whether used in naturalistic plantings, cottage gardens, or wildlife-friendly borders, Filipendula ulmaria adds a touch of elegance and a lovely, natural fragrance to the landscape. Its tall, graceful form and abundant flowers also make it a great choice for cutting gardens, where it can be enjoyed in fresh or dried floral arrangements.
