Terrific looking plant which came today as part of my first order from Penlan. I’m so impressed. All the plants look great – the packing was marvellous – my order arrived the following morning and included a very generous extra bag of seed heads. Amazing! Highly recommended …

This plant arrived with others all well packed and very quick delivery.
Richard was very helpfulwith information and advice regarding my order and I would definitely use Penlan again.
I planted thiis Astilboides Tabularis in a sheltered site where no sun can scorch the leaves and with plenty of moisture. It will benefit from good natural shady light.
It’s been planted for about 8 weeks. So far it’s growth has been very slow and only put on 2 leaves which are very close to the soil. I’m hoping that it’s growth rate will speed up and am feeding it regularly to help it get along.
I will post more reviews on it and other plants bought at the same time.
