Chionodoxa forbesii reviews
Reviewed 29th December 2020 by Kathryn Excellent, good quality bulbs as expected from Sarah Raven. Nice, plump and firm bulbs went straight in the ground and we're looking forward to lots of little blue stars in the Spring! :) |
Reviewed 2nd December 2019 by Karin Grew these pretty flowers last year and delighted with the little flowers which lasted a long time in the garden |
Reviewed 25th October 2019 by Joanne waiting for the results, bulbs appeared in good condition |
Reviewed 26th June 2019 by Trevor Items looked nice in your brochure (obviously glossed up)but the end result in my garden was to say the least disappointing. Whether they improve next summer remains to be seen. |
