Amethyst and Ruby Container Collection

Reviewed 21st April 2020 by Gail

The plants arrived very carefully packaged and in perfect condition.
I am not really the gardener in the family (my husband is), although I love our garden and feel lucky to have a garden especially at this time, but watching these little plants grow has given me such pleasure. The first little bud appeared yesterday (Monday 20/4)!

I bought this collection last year and they were absolutely stunning. However this year although the plants were well packaged, only the verbena thrived. The root systems of the calibrachoa and cuphea Ilavea just seemed to disintegrate.

Very expensive - not worht the money

really good display, strong healthy plants.

Good strong plants but have not flowered much. Picture in catelogue miss leading. Would not purchase again

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Jackie

Verbena were great but the calibrachoa seem to have died/disappeared and the other red flower is disappointing in terms of the amount of colour that it gives. Not a patch on the wonderful calibrachoa that I had last year.

Disappointing as from your photographs seemed to have plenty of height, which mine do not have. Not the bold colourful display expected

The container collection delivered on its promise, beautiful flowers which lasted throughout.

Described as Amethyst and Ruby Container Collection, my plants were white and red.
Nothing like the photograph on-line or in the catalogue, and certainly not a colour choice I would have made.
I sent photography to you and you refunded the full value of my purchase, which was extremely generous, and so the subject was resolved to my complete satisfaction. Thank you.
Have rated this purchase as a 4 out of 5 because this order was completely trouble free.

The plants arrived in good order, I transplanted them in to large pots asap and they have flowered brilliantly all summer.

These were flowering all summer long

I can't remember too many details! All started well but some became a little leggy which I think was my fault and the weather! It is a bit late in the year to ask me about spring orders!

Excellent service and amazing plants

Reviewed 14th November 2018 by Krista

The balance wasn't right. The cigar-flowered plant swamped the others, especially the verbena which was almost rendered invisible. Nice colours but as a collection it didn't work in our large pot. Good quality plants.

Excellent plants, some of them are still flowering

I bought the Amethyst & Ruby Container back in April 2018 after seeing it in either Prima or Good Housekeeping (5 rooted cuttings of each: Calibrachoa 'Cabaret 'Red', Cuphea llavea 'Torpedo' and Verbena 'Showboat Dark Violet'). They took really quickly and have flowered all summer long, even in the heat we had, and the Torpedo is still flowering - very happy!

Reviewed 11th October 2018 by Chris

Very good display. The Cuphea flowered very well but tended to overshadow the other two.

Reviewed 11th October 2018 by April

Wow, this has been flowering all summer long - and is still going! Despite the heat and my neglect it soon perks up with a can of water and carries on. It's been a great pot selection and I'll go for something similar next year.

Grew well to start off with then terrible black fly. Used them as hanging baskets, my worst ever very annoying verification too!
