I think that's more or less what was in a pack that I bought from the 99p store, so if you have one of those locally it would be cheaper to buy from them, or Poundland may have them as well.

I agree, poundland has a good range of bulbs, and wilkinsons too for that price, but jparkers do have some cheap plants in the offers section, so worth a look.

I did a J Parkers order at the beginning of this month (placed on the 2nd) and I received my order on Friday. I know it says to allow 28 days for delivery, but I though this might be to cover themselves if they do have to use the full four weeks for whatever reason - most things come way before the delivery date, don't they? No- not these guys

Anyway - so I bought one of the £1.99 blueberry bushes, and a weigela (SP?) and a few packs of bulbs and whatnot - all of the plants were damaged beyond use - it was all packaged in a big cardboard box, with the plants rattling around and being squashed by the bulbs. The five free cactus dahlia - parts of bulbs, not actually bulbs. Not very impressed to be honest.

I agree that it would be better to go to Wilkos or Poundland - at least then you can see what you are getting before you buy it - I have wasted £30 when I could have got better bulbs and plants for a lot cheaper. So much for a good deal.

That's odd, filmnerd. I have had two orders (for a selection of fruit trees, fruit bushes inc. blueberry bushes on both orders, bulbs and corms and dormant plants) from them in the last six weeks. One was delivered within a week and everything was as expected, the second took nearer three weeks but was, again, absolutely fine. All plants/trees/bulbs etc have been planted and look perfectly healthy. My grandmother would never buy from parkers as she had a bad experience with them once, but I have ordered from them many times over a period of years and never had any problems.

I've bought quite a few things from them more in the line of shrubs and small trees and all been good.

One i wasn't sure of and emailed them and they said all plants have a 12 month guarantee and to email back if no growth by spring.
