I’d just like to say how delighted I was with the 10 Lobelia Queen Victoria plants I bought.
My experiences of buying plants through mail-order companies has been regrettable! After each experience I vowed never to do it again... - but where needs must I took another chance and I'm so glad I did!
Because I was only paying £12.00 (plus delivery) for 10 plants, I have to say that I wasn’t exactly expecting a great deal in the way of quality... but how wrong was I! I could not believe how healthy and well established the plants were!
Many thanks,
Pete

This virtually thornless gooseberry bush makes picking the fruit so much more fun!
