Dear Marie

Thank you for your review on your recent purchase.

Our Crocosmia stock comes from another local grower, and the product page on our website contains all the information you are looking for. You can view this here: https://hadeco.co.za/collections/crocosmia/products/crocosmia-aurea-falling-stars
We are considerate of our environmental impact and do not print instructions for every packet that comes from another grower. In these instances, we rather provide the info digitally as much as possible.

We do value your input and will keep it in mind for our future packaging solutions. If you need further information, please do let us know. We are happy to help.
