    I find hayloft good for unusual plants  crocus is pricey but good and plants for shade were excellent

    Parkers are a bit mixed but have had good plans and their sale offers are very cheap, I just avoid Thompson and Van Meuwen like the plague!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. In the end I went with crocus. They were a couple of quid more expensive per plant than the rest, however they were 2 litre pots whereas the others were all 9cm so I'm pleased image

    Big difference, I often get "had" being a woman of a certain age, and not understanding metric, I looked at plants for sale and they would arrive, me thinking they were a bargain, and the 9cm pot is a mere 3 inches, but how diverse, you get small pots by cm large pots by weight ie litres.

    Thumbs up for Crocus and Plantsforshade used both a lot and always had a good experience.

    Not so with Claire Austin unfortunately, they were very reluctant to replace a plant that had arrived in bad condition.  I was told that it wasn't policy to replace single plants due to the postage costs.  Got a refund in the end.

    Buy from Joe ann cheap and great plants she even delays delivery depending on warm weather so they are not held up in sorting offices.

    Ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/jo-anna-cottage-plants-shop

    Also recommend Crocus, claire austin,  Plantsforshade, peter Nyssen  brought from all these excellent quailty plants and bulbs from Peter Nyssen are great price and lots of variety if you want something different Dutch Garden World are excellent as well but you can pay with paypal and amounts in euros are converted when purchased to pounds http://www.dutchgardenworld.com
