Reviewed 27th January 2020 by Suzanne very poor. waste of money. 0nly 3 bloomed properly but even then they were very short. at least 3 never bloomed at all, others opened at 2" high still within the leaves then immediately rotted. Extremely disappointing. I have often had successful hyacinth displays so know how to look after them. I will never use Sarah Raven again. It is overpriced, smartly marketed but offers poor quality products. |

Reviewed 15th January 2020 by Sue 2 of the bulbs were rotten. However, SR were quick to offer a refund for these. They haven’t flowered yet, so unable to make further comment at this stage. |
Reviewed 2nd August 2019 by Kate The web-site was clear and informative about planting the bulbs and what to expect, the bulbs arrived in good time and good condition. When they flowered, they were huge, lots of florets on strong stems, so am very satisfied. |
Reviewed 26th June 2019 by Mrs Fenwick Good colour that;s it |
Reviewed 19th June 2019 by Peter Too many of these failed - shall not purchase from here again. Others bought from a local nursery ALL flowered, |
Reviewed 16th January 2019 by Margaret Excellent service and quality product |
Delayed delivery
Reviewed 26th October 2016 by Lesley Buckwell Healthy looking bulbs, but I did not receive them until 24 October, not early October the stated delivery time in the catalogue, a shame as now they are unlikely to be in flower by Christmas. |
