    Received an order from Jackson's Nursery in Staffs today. Prompt delivery, well packaged and would recommend highly. Kept up to date with delivery info as well image

    I have some Foxglove plugs coming from The Botanic Nursery so hopefully they will be good too.

    I've ordered off Jacksons Nurseries too. The plants arrived quickly to the day I specified and were well protected in their packaging. Plants are very healthy.

    Have received reasonable little plug plants from Sarah Raven, though the ammi major (?) was very etiolated. Generally speaking am not a fan of this nursery; I was once invited to hear her speak for 2 hours at a cost of £32!!! a couple of years ago. My response was 'I would pay that to hear an International Opera Singer, not a young florist!'image

    This one is only for VERDUN! image

    Thirty quid down the Swanee! 

     Year before last  I ordered from T&M 5 Wild Swan anemones, twenty five quid plus a fiver postage! They were dead on arrival  no roots but T&M eventually replaced them, they never made any effort to grow and died!

    I also ordered the same from Hayloft for the same cost, they also arrived dead no roots, and they also eventually all died!

    Earlier this year I contacted Hayloft  only to ask if there was a problem with them, they said they "were difficult" and said they would replace them in June.

    Which I am very happy with, but no success with T&M!

    They all must buy these plug plants in  from some other grower as they are the same price and the plug plants all look if they are out off the same mold! Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

    I usually never have a problem growing on plants but these have been impossible so far!

    Cheers!

    Jimmmy - i also gave up with plugs of wild swan - bought full size plants from Hardys last summer/ autumn - and they are thriving - one about to flower already.  Worth spending the extra for a full size plant in this case i think (although i am generally a fan of plugs for good value and enough plants for a "drift"image)
