Great plant, well packaged. Would purchase from them again
They arrived, planted and doing fine
I'm extremely pleased to be shopping from ScotPlants Direct.This is my first purchase and I will definitely be back. Superb quality and a very efficient service. Thank you!
Hello, I was extremely happy with the Fuscia Magellicana plants, thank you! For 3L pots they were very well established specimens and since planting them in poor soil in an exposed Suffolk Coastal position, they are racing away. Delighted. Thank you.
Good experience from beginning to end arrived safely wrapped and in good condition. It was while trying to leave a good review that the judge me site, I accidentally pressed the next button and it would not let me go back to finish my review. But my small beach trees, anround 1ft tall, arrived perfect and I can’t believe I already have leaves appearing, which virtually came out the next day ofter planting. .
After reading mixed reviews i was a little worried about ordering from this company, but they were the perfect small size as i was planting them in between established trees so would have been difficult to dig a large hole for a large plant.
Great price, safe quick delivery.... will definately use again
