Plants in my total order were all healthy and arrived on time and are flowering beautifully. Thrilled.

I think I had better results when I sowed the seeds, rather than taking the seedlings.

First packet only a small amount took. You had to send another packet which were fine

I don't like these as much as I thought I would. The colour is lovely, but they have not taken to my garden so are quite small and the flowers are consequently small too.

Service always good,cosmos disappointing - v small flowers & unhealthy foliage.

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Trudy

Lost all but one of the plants as they had rotted on the stems, however they were replaced with stronger better quality plants which have thrived.

Such healthy plants when they arrived! and they have grown beautifully

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Kath

Service excellent as always . Plants arrive well packed and in good condition ready to go . These seedlings were slow to start due to the cold spring but have since thrived and are just the right size in a large tub ....their gentle creamy colour mixing well with other things and still lots of buds to come.

Excellent service, but haven’t had one flower on any of the now full grown plants

Struggled a little bit, think it was very dry summer.

Unfortunately not all of these plants were the ones that I ordered, several turned out to be pink cosmos as opposed to the yellow Xanthos that I ordered. They were all lovely healthy plants however, but just not quite the ones I wanted!

Good. Buying and delivery were all absolutely fine. Plants were good.

They were unusual and I liked them but they did not do too well probably because they were in a container and the weather was very hot.

The cosmos were good, the nicotiana were mostly good, but one was rather small and didn't do much. One of the sweet peas was the wrong colour, so I had too many of the pink and not many blue.

Reviewed 17th September 2018 by ANN

Very poor growth although put in a sunny spot , well watered and regularly deadheaded and free from slugs. Remained very small and did not thrive as I expected them to. The same plant I bought in a local garden centre performed very much better.

Reviewed 17th September 2018 by Alison

Lovely colour - very unusual and they are keeping going in the border well. Again they have taken a while to get going and are much smaller and weaker plants than the pink ones so it hasn't been possible to pick any because of the short stalks.

Reviewed 12th September 2018 by Zara

They didn't do too well, flowers very small, some misshapen, tall plants but no large beautiful flowers: probably the fierce drought and sun. Better luck next year!

Lack of water not much help - we only not use grey water and it doesn’t go far. Could have been bigger I expect.

Lovely Cosmos

Reviewed 10th August 2018 by jacquie low

I love cosmos and was delighted to try these new shorter ones, which are a gorgeous colour and are much more manageable being smaller- don't need staking and don't fall over. Prolific and wonderful! I adopted Sarah's idea of putting them in a pot and they look great - a lovely delicate pale lemon colour.
