    Hi pn1995

    I've had plants from J Parker and I've always had good results from them. No complaints at all, so go for it.

    I ordered some blueberry plants and dahlias from them, blueberries rather small but they've grown like the clappers this year and all seem healthy, dahlias have been eaten so a bit hard to tell - but that's my fault! - nearly all sprouted though.
    I'd say they're fine and would have no qualms about ordering from them again.

    I'm just sorting out my bulb order. Might have to trim it down a bit!

    I think the catalogue and online is giving free Alliums for all orders and Tulips if >�£40 - then the catalogue only gives free Anemone's if you order some combination, and online only is showing a cheaper Muscari variant.

    Pretty sure the previous owner of my plot ordered a lot from there, I keep finding labels that match up with the catalogue, and supposedly this was a wonderful garden in his time.
