These plants arrived completely torched. Have planted them out anyway but they have not survived. We've had really hot weather recently and they have not survived the shipping at all. But cannot believe that they left Sarah Raven in a decent condition because they are so badly decomposed.

Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the condition of these plants. They look as though they have been scorched by wind or sun. Hopefully, given some TLC they will recover.
I have bought many products from Sarah Raven and always been very pleased with my purchases. Shame about this one
Gorgeous colour

I love these. Their flowers are just the right height to be the ‘thriller’ in a pot, planted with red petunias and calibrachoa. A lovely colour and fragrance, and hopefully they will return next year.
