Crimson Silk Pot Collection reviews
Reviewed 19th August 2019 by Angela Fantastic collection, a wonderful display, love the colour. The petunias are spectacular and the cosmos varied and pretty, both are outdoing the salvias in my pots. Will buy again next year |
Reviewed 3rd August 2019 by John The petunias were good. The cosmos and salvias both seemed to be unsuited to container culture and have largely given up flowering (Aug 3). |
Reviewed 3rd August 2019 by David The pot collection delivered in May especially the petunias have been excellent. The April delivery did not perform as well. Not convinced Cosmos grow well in pots much better in the garden. |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Ann Great plants and produce a lovely show. Would perhaps have wished a lighter shade in the Cosmos to give a bit of a lift to the dispplay |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Rachel The petunias have grown and flowered well but have swamped the other plants. The cosmos are very disappointing, the flowers rapidly fade to a very unattractive brown colour. I won’t be buying these again |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Lorna Beautiful plants colours are spectacular, the salvia in particular is lovely |

All plants have flowered well. The star of this collection is Petunia Tidal wave red velour, just beautiful. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by K J Meakin Delighted with the wonderful display in two large pots especially the 'Tidal Wave Red Velour' petunias which spilled over down to the ground. Salvia 'Trewithen Cerise' is a lovely pink that contrasts so well with the petunias and the Cosmos 'Velouette. Have cut right back now in orderto get a second robust display in a few weeks. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Adele Superb collection look amazing!! |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Nicholas These are good, the best performers from this purchase. The salvias don't hold their flowers for long but the petunias and cosmos are better. Lovely colour & foliage combinations. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Sabrina Some of the cosmos have failed |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Jen even though continually dead heading the cosmos don't look as if they'll last much longer . Petunias and Salvia still looking good . |

Plants were really good - they arrived in two different deliveries on different days so I was concerned that the second lot were missing... |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Andreas Absolutely incredible display, with more to come! |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Janice Good quality, crimson plants were much better than the white, The crimson plants filled the pots and grew about a meter in diameter, and smelt wonderful, There were lots of comments on both the smell and look, the petunias were very dominant and the stand out flower. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Verna Good strong plants and rapid growth. Soon filled pots with dark red colour. Would buy again. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Ann
The petunias and cosmos have performed brilliantly and the colour combination is superb. Unfortunately the salvias bloomed to begin with and then although looking healthy have not bloomed since. A little disappointing. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Maria I have received so many compliments in these pots. |

What can I say? People take photos of our window box when they walk past the house it looks so darn impressive. The cosmos are pretty, and so is the salvia now it's managed to fight its way past the petunias and cosmos! Very, very pleased with this set. |
