Jersey Plants Direct..?

LizEstelle

I've had this company recommended for plug plants on another thread and their offers:

do indeed seem pretty good (free delivery!).

I've been looking for someone other than Parkers who sent me some really rubbishy plugs last year.

Can anyone else offer an opinion on this company before I part with my hard-earned cash?

I have received plugs from both the companies you mention in the past 4 weeks and have to come down on the side of Parkers - the plugs were bigger and appear to be lasting whereas many of the bizzy lizzy plants died off quickly from Jersey. Perhaps I hadn't looked after them properly though. They were a nightmare to get out of their tiny plastic holders.

Also got strawbs (now starting to flower) and raspberry canes from Parkers and can't complain at all.

I just ordered a Azalea bush and lavitera plant from them last week

Maybe it's all just luck of the draw, then. Pity the poor consumer!

Bumping to see whether there are any more thoughts.
