Customer Reviews
I ordered two plants in 9cm pots from the nursery. While they didn’t look their best on arrival, this is understandable as many plants naturally die back in winter. I'm giving 4 stars because one of the plants has a weak root system, and I’m unsure if it will survive. In contrast, the second plant arrived with a strong, healthy root system, so I’m confident it will do well.
The nursery offers a great variety of plants on their website, which is a big plus. However, I do find the prices a bit high for 9cm pots. For comparison, my local nursery charges £2.49 for the same size, but they didn’t stock the specific plants I was looking for — your nursery did, and I appreciate that.
I’m hopeful both plants will grow into strong specimens by next year.

Tom
