THIS ITEM CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED TO THE UK. The Commelinaceae (Tradescantia family) are a group of tropical creeping or trailing plants, often with colourful variegated leaves. This listing is for a bag stuffed with budget Commelinaceae cuttings. They are pruned stems from the stock plants of my National Collection - including the very rarest ones! But there's no guarantee of what you'll get, and they will not be individually wrapped or labeled. The prunings may have short or wonky stems, missing or damaged leaves, and other minor flaws. All the pieces have a good chance of surviving and growing, they just might take a bit longer to look great.  Some cuttings were grown indoors and some outdoors, so there's also a small chance of stray aphids or other wildlife - be prepared to quarantine, treat, or discard anything that looks suspicious. Allow up to a week for dispatch. Royal Mail 1st Class delivery is included in the price.
