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.

The plant was sick when it arrived. Full of brown spots. Trying to recover it with neem oil treatment now. The rest of the products were fine.

Plants grown outside can sometimes have spots - not a disease, but the result of wind, rain or sun. In nature, plants with immaculate foliage do not exist. Removing the leaves is more effective than treating them, because it's useless: once removed, new leaves will develop.

This was a €40 gift for a new home. Had I known it would be sooo much smaller than pictured I would have bought flowers. No not impressed with the sales technique ;( I did write to customer service but no response yet, instead I'm asked to write a review....

The photos on our website show you always a mature product photographed in summer period. Don't worry, buddleia can grow 30 to 40 cm per season. They're hardy shrubs that make great butterfly magnets.

Tricolour buddleia …

The tricolour plant I ordered turned out to be three small pods presumably comprising the whole 'plant'. I'll have to wait and see how they turn out. I was disappointed in the size for the price too.

Quality Packaging was OK, had some damage to 1 plants leaves another plant had completely came out of its pot, this could also be due to the shipping company used. Package was left wrong way up and we'll shaken about, plant quality is great and exactly as described

Honest appraisal

My order arrived packed into a single box a day later than expected. One of the plants (the Fatsia Japonica) was already slightly damaged and this must have happened at packaging time. Hope it will recover with some necessary "surgery" and some TLC. Was a bit disappointed but due to my age, acquired disabilities and lack of transport, I will need to rely on online gardening websites in the future.

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.

Quick delivery. Of 5 hydrangeas ordered, 3 looked quite robust but 2 were just short stems with only 1 or 2 leaves. Time will tell if they take successfully or not.

Not all the hydrangeas you have ordered are of the same category. Some of the hydrangeas in your order will only grow on the current year's growth. Do not worry the order is guaranteed until the 02/07/2023 they will have plenty of time to grow.

We are sorry about what happened and we mentioned it to you. We know that on the 2 orders sent packages that were bundles (several boxes attached together) were separated and lost by dpd. We have after investigation with the carrier as soon as possible replaced and refunded what could not be shipped anymore. It's a pity that your commentary doesn't mention this at all.

I was a bit disappointed when I got the flowers, I thought they were plants, but they were bare root. A few of the bare roots were dry.

Our site sells plants in various forms flower bulbs, rhizome, roots, plant in pots. It is therefore important to read the description. The roots are always sent dry in order not to develop disease or mold. Most of them need to be soaked in water prior to plant them.

I received 6 plants towards the end of last week 28/04/23 and two of those plants look dead. Last rights wouldn't even save them. I can't understand 12cm pots with a two foot stick coming out of them. 2 sticks in each pot these may be good at a later stage when the plant grows. I understand for packaging etc etc but could be done better. This is not the first time I have received plants from Gardens4You in this state.

Blueberry and rubus doesn't have leaves and can appear dead on arrival, that is the time of year we have -1ºC at night and 9ºC right now in the beginning of May normally in other years the leaves are already out but this year it is very cold. If you scratch away a small section of bark with your finger nail with will see that the bark is green underneath. Once planted the plants will grow normally.

Not great...you'll probably have to order 30% more than you need

I ordered circa 90 Stipa pony tails...they arrived promptly and I planted them within 48 hours. A couple weeks on and 25 have died. I've sent 2 emails to customer service asking if they can be replaced as explained on the website, but have not even received a reply. Beware to buyers that you may have to buy 30% + extra to account for plants that die...and don't expect their customer service to actually support or even engage with you.

Our last email conversation was a month ago and concerned lavenders. You have never contacted us for anything else except the first order which we sent back at our expense because you gave us an incomplete order as well as the wrong city.

Our plants are cultivated outdoor. We have -1ºC at night and 12ºC during the day, it is very cold for a month of May. Do not worry the order is guaranteed, the leaves will develop later once the tree will be planted.
