We would like 3 x 40cm high of the Stephens Island plants - just checking that the smaller (2.5l) container has these as we'd have expected the larger pot (3.5l) to have had this size. Many thanks Gill Brackenbury

Yes, they will be at the height stated. Sometimes the larger grades can be shorter as they might still be a little younger but they will catch up and pass the smaller pot sizes.
