The service was excellent. The reason for the 4 stars is that the plants bolted when planted but flowered well after a little judicial pruning.

I was very happy with the plants, and all flourished in my garden.
Though fine plants, they were not as big and tall as I expected, but this may have been due to the exceptionally hot, dry summer. I dead-headed them regularly, and kept them flowering for a long time, but maybe because of the weather, the plants did not survive as long into the autumn as I expected..

They were just what I wanted for my pots this summer & I was very pleased with the result. They flowered for many months & so I will order them again next spring. They arrived in a reasonable time as promised so I was also pleased with the delivery. Thank you.

I hope the new tulips I have received recently perform as well as others I've had in the last 2 years.

Plants good but must say the amount of packaging seems over the top even though it is all cardboard and no plastic.

Good, healthy plants that have grown well in a difficult spot in the garden (where they are in competition with some more established perennials and a tree). Would certainly buy again.

Customer service excellent, as always. These Cosmos were to replace some of the original cosmos from the original white collection, which weren’t up to your usual high standard.

Helpful person taking the phone order.
Seedlings arrived quickly after ordering, in very good condition.
Mature plants have performed well.

Tons of flowers

Healthy plants which have produced masses of flowers. They were a little slow to get going but have flowered strongly since July and are still looking fabulous now.

Reviewed 12th September 2018 by Jacqueline

These were sent to me free of charge because I had such a poor germination rate with the seeds (unlike other cosmos seeds that I bought at the same time).
The seedlings have grown well in their pot and the plants are very healthy. It is a great height for containers.

All 15 cosmos seedlings have produced fine plants but having purchased them all as part of a plan for an 'all-white' border it was disappointing and rather irritating to find when they came to bloom 4 of the 15 proved to be magenta/plum colour. Presumably this was the result of an error in the despatch department.

Otherwise I have been well pleased!

They performed ok. The usual pests affected the flowering but that is inevitable. I used slug deterrent on the soil.

liked the plants but a bit small to get going in the short scottish summer.

Lovely bushy plants, loads of flowers however I wouldn’t grow this dwarf variety again because I think the flowers too big for the over all size of the plant. Next year I’ll try the regular plant.

Simply brilliant, my best purchase. They flower again and again and have made my courtyard have the wow factor

Ok but cosmos bought on local market did better

Low germination rate

Reviewed 11th July 2018 by Yoshiko Harrop

I like cosmos sonata so I grow them from seeds along with other types of cosmos.
Last year I thought the germination rate was low and bought plug plants later to fill the gaps.
Tried sowing again this year and got only 6 seedlings.
I sowed pink and white cosmos ‘Popsocks’ under the same condition and 80 to 90% of them germinated by then.
In the end both 6 sonata and popsocks have started flowering, around the same height.
The only difference is that sonata flowers are huge!
Wish the germination rate is better, as I prefer sonata.
I have mentioned about sonata seeds to customer service and they have kindly refunded the money.
