I’ll know better in future that when you start offering a buy 60 get 60 free what you mean is that we’ve got too many in stock and can’t sell them by which time they have grown too much and are just a tangled mess. Very very poor quality plant. Really disappointed given the previous orders I’ve received before.

Good customer service, good quality
Products are good quality, and when there were issues with the order (courier damaged plants badly, incorrect number of items sent), replacements were sent out very quickly.
Will certainly use again.

D F Beeson Trailing Begonias
As per my complaint to the company, the begonias were received in a poor state. Despite the carton bearing an arrow indicating "upright", the carton was left on its side. When the carton was opened, the plants looked frail & leggy. I needed all 40 of the plants, but only 39 were delivered, & despite my best efforts, I don't believe all of these will survive.
When I pointed this service failure to the company, they said they were too busy to address this complaint.

Looked after my order.
There was a bit of a mix up in the order, but it was satisfactorily sorted out. The plugs arrived and, I have to say I’ve often had plugs arrive in the post over the years, but these were the freshest and healthiest I’ve ever had. Very good!
