Dianthus 'Mrs Sinkins' reviews
Reviewed 21st November 2018 by Tabitha Beautiful, well established plants |
Reviewed 8th November 2018 by Adelle Very pleased. Have grown this on the edge of a raised bed. The leaves are a good contrasting colour to the other plants, and we have had plenty of the beautiful, fragrant flowers. |
Reviewed 7th November 2018 by Jacqueline I was delighted with the performance of the plants - what arrived was 3 healthy looking well-rooted cuttings and they have thriven in the garden. We open for the ngs so it is omportant that plants perofrm well - and the genuine Mrs Sinkins is not easy to get hold of, so l am very happy indeed to be able to incorporate this variety in my garden display. |
Reviewed 11th October 2018 by Eleni Seem to be growing ok but no flowers - hope they survive! Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for your review. Dianthus can put their energy into growing, rather than flowering in the first year. They should flower next year, please do contact us at info@sarahraven.com if they don't." Posted 7th November 2018 |
Reviewed 22nd September 2018 by Gillian The plants have grown well but have had very few flowers this summer but maybe that is because of the heat. Many plants in my garden which should have been flowering earlier, and didn't, are flowering now. Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with your dahlias. We are unaware of any reports of problems with capsid bugs so it is unlikely that the tubers were affected and hopefully they will over winter successfully for you." Posted 7th November 2018 |
Reviewed 17th September 2018 by Derek a plant of excellent quality which i potted on then planted out into a small container it's grown well in this hot summer in the northern part of the uk. perhaps my only grumble is that the flowers didn't fill right out, they have a lovely scent |
Reviewed 13th September 2018 by Mrs Davies They came well packed, by Royal Mail(saves rushing delivery men leaving them in wrong place/address as happens with these courier firms). |
Reviewed 3rd September 2018 by Pippa The delivery service was not great, as plant was left by dust bin. No note was left so I didn't spot it until later. The plant looks healthy but has not flowered maybe it has insufficient sun. Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your postman failed to leave your box in a safe place. We can take instructions for your label when you place an order which may be an option in the future." Posted 7th November 2018 |
Reviewed 2nd September 2018 by Joyce A strong healthy plant which has spread considerably and flowered profusely The perfume was brilliant. |
