I ordered this P. Sissinghurst White as these plants brighten a shaded corner in the spring. I wanted to add a pop of white among the green. Tiny, new plant flowered valiantly and since has grown and grown putting on a bright, spotted show. It doesn't need cutting back like my other pulmonarias and is looking just great, standing proud in an old terracotta pot among it's fellow shade-lovers. Strongly recommended!

The plants arrived with a slug in the packaging who had evidently had a banquet en route. There was nothing left. However you dealt with this sensitively and refunded immediately.

Good service but poor quality plants. Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst' arrived with very little growth. Replacement sent in May which was little better and now both plants have died. Reluctant to order more plants. Expected better quality for the price.

Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:

"Thank you for leaving your review. We are very sorry to hear of your disappointment with your pulmonaria and have refunded you for them."

The plant arrived well packed and healthy. sadly it did not like the weather conditions this year and I am yet to see if it has survived!

Excellent plants, the leaves are well mottled and although there weren't too many flowers this year, I am optimistic that they will do well next year as they continue to flourish.
