IW have got sets of these in different colours for about £20 with the pots included. I bought them last year but they didn't grow very well. These are probably new and improved so we'll see. I always think there's too many leaves compared to the flowers.

IW have four 7cm pot gerberas with larger planters for £20 and £5 postage so this is a better buy and most gardeners will have loads of spare planters anyway. Never had any real problems with Thomson and Morgan plants and I buy a LOT from them

When I had them previously (IW) I just got loads of huge leaves and no flowers. I wouldn't buy them again. They are just showing those Gudoshnik tulips on QVC and I bought them last year. They are just coming into bloom and they are truly gorgeous - expensive yes but what a show! I'll try and post a photo when a few more flower.

Just listening to them selling clematis Montana saying that they will be bud ready to flower when you get them. Now mine are flowering at the minute and if it takes as long to despatch as items I ordered 10April and not received , there are going to be some disappointed customers when they receive plants with blooms which are dead and will have to wait for a full year to see them in bloom.
I agree LATI, those clematis will have flowered and gone over by the time they are received so no flowers until next year. They grow like a weed as well so those little trellis aren't going to be much use. I also thought they weren't cheap as I've seen them in our (pretty costly) garden centre that size at around £7.99 per pot.

Just noted as well the hollyhocks are pricey but to be fair they are 1litre pots. IW are doing 6 hollyhocks (same type as QVC) in 9cm pots for £12 and free postage. They grow pretty quickly so the 9cm would be as big as the 1L in a couple of weeks in a greenhouse. Was going to watch a bit of gardening today but hey, the sun is now out and I'm heading out the back door.

I think a lot of plants have been dispatched on time but have been lying around in sorting offices and vans so by the time they are delivered they are (half) dead. I've been fairly lucky though, only had a few bad ones.

There was a post on Arsebook yesterday with a clip from Plants2garden saying they weren’t taking more orders as they couldn’t cope so either they are giving Q orders priority or our plants will never arrive. Agree about them lying around but I’m determined to take photos and demand a refund this year as the plants ordered last year were a disaster. I vowed I would never buy again but in the Present situation it wa# the only option and I have paid through the nose so I’m not taking any crap this year.
I saw that Plants2Gardens were shut and I remembered that there was a TSV a while back with 2 big planters and lots of plants to put them in, which I think sold out, so they may well be rushing around trying to fulfill those orders. Due to be sent out as of Monday I believe - hope so because I ordered it 
I had some poor specimens from Garden Bargains but they were very good and sent out replacements free, however, the second lot weren't that much better than the first lot.
