There is a high demand for our seedlings, if a product is listed as 'sold out', it is sold out. If an order is cancelled the seedlings/ product will be automatically re-stocked to the ordering portal, you will need to check back to see if the product you are looking for has been restocked. You can place multiple orders and we will group them together for you.
If a product has sold out before you have completed your order, the system will remove the sold out products from your cart leaving the remaining in stock products for checkout.
