Plants were healthy and delivered in just a few days . All good experience from start to finish . Great website ----- good info and timely updates on purchase. I have a 23 year old garden and am by the sea with a windy wet climate so gardening is a challenge . Never very cold but always quite wet . Hydrangeas and Berberis along with a handful of other shrubs and perennials survive nicely here so my garden has always brought me many compliments . My recent purchases from you will of course further enhance my garden.

Dead,rotten and unrecognisable plants sent!!! I have received my order and I have never seen anything like this before: dead, rotten, mouldy and unrecognisable plants. This must be some joke or I don’t even know what to call it. There is no way, you can plant them. I just want my money back and someone to collect that stuff, as I am not wasting more money to send those plants back. I already paid more than 120 euro.

Scam! This company have a 100% guarantee email, which they send after you order. It is a total scam. I complained about my plants arriving smashed and was completely ignored. They then cancelled the rest of my orders with no explanation or reason. When I enquired, they accused me of being aggressive. Terrible company.

You have in the past during the covid crisis in 2020 sent threatening, aggressive and intimidating emails that we do not wish to publish here as your comments are indecent. You are now automatically reimbursed for your new orders since we no longer wish to welcome you. We sincerely wish the competition good luck in welcoming you.

Ordered 4 iris ensata last year. They were completely shriveled up and didn’t grow. Ordered the same this year and the same thing happened.. Very disappointed. Drew this to their attention and was dismissed. (Other plants in the order were fine.)

Your previous order was from april 2022 the guarantee ended in October 2022 and this is the reason why the warranty was void. Our irises are dried rhizomes on a grid. A dry rhizome loses 80% of its volume. Just soak them before planting them in the sunniest part of the garden. The order from 15/04/2023 is guaranteed until the 24/06/2023 don't wait for the end of the warranty to contact us with pictures of these rhizomes if the plants failed to grow.

Lavender tree nothing like image on website

Ordered lavender tree to be delivered to my father for Father’s Day. It looked nothing like the picture on the website. Was very small and skinny with no flowers. Had to re-pot and are hoping will improve. Picture on website very misleading.

Venus fly trap

I got the Venus fly trap, but it came very poor condition, kind of half death. I hope I can bring back to life ☹️ I'll never buy online flower again.

The heads of carnivorous flowers live for a few days and then die. This is part of the plant's natural cycle, not the result of buying it on the net. Carnivorous flower heads who turn black need to be removed as the plant grows.

The plants that I ordered looked nothing like what website shows. Basically, recieved 2 stick with a few leaves. Very very disappointing!!! You need to show what the plants look like instead of the mature version. Will not be ordering from your company again.

Our website, like all other plant websites in Europe, always showcases a mature version of the product you are purchasing, whether it's perennial plants, shrubs, or trees. When you select a product, its description includes information about its size and the diameter of its pot. Our plants are nursery-grown, cultivated outdoors year-round. Between September and February, the plants go into senescence and cease active growth that's why we offer a longer shelf life for plants purchased between september and February with complete transparency for over 30 years.

Poor service

Purchased tree a week ago. Shipped 5 days ago but still not delivered. DPD tracking is a disaster - continuously being re-routed. Item has been boxed and in transit for over a week with no water. Will be interesting to see condition when it arrives (If ever).

Northern Europe lives to the rhythm of the 4 seasons. If you buy nursery plants (cultivated outdoor all year around) at the end of the growing season, just before autumn arrives, it's normal that their growth won't start until next spring. This is why orders between September and October are guaranteed longer than the usual 2 months.

I thought I had bought a plant but they cancelled the order without even notifying me. They also refunded an amount less then what I paid. Tried calling them but no answer. Disgraceful

To leave a negative comment when the restrictions on certain products on our site come directly from the Irish government is not honest on your part because this decision does not belong to us. Many invasive plants are no longer allowed to be exported to your destination it is not a choice of our company but a local decision.

We have checked in our system that Lilium Oriental arrived damaged and the sum of €23.80 has been refunded on an order of €126.85, one star is very poorly rated and graded as the rest will develop normally.
