Anyway, to transport them dig them up, clean them of soil, cut the leaves
down by a half and wrap the plants in damp paper ensuring the roots are
covered, that's how they are sent out by specialist nurseries.
The person the other end needs to plant or pot them up asap. When I have
received plants like that I pot them up until the next spring so I can
give
them some TLC for a few months because my experience of planting them
straight out in the garden is not good.

.. what sort of TLC?

Pot them in good quality potting compost and keep them in a protected spot
away from the worst of the winter weather and protected from slugs.


thanks again - much obliged for all of this.
