Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some interesting succulents that have unique colors and shapes. I'm based in the UK and would love recommendations for places to buy them, preferably in the northwest or online. If you know any reliable online suppliers with a reputation for great service and delivering healthy plants, I'd appreciate that too. My local garden centers and supermarkets just seem to offer the same few basic green varieties. Thanks a lot!

You should check out the British Cactus and Succulent Society! They have a directory of suppliers on their site. I've personally used Ottershaw and Abbey Brook for my plants, though I haven't ordered online. You might also want to look out for local shows or events where sellers will be. There's actually one happening at RHS Bridgewater near Manchester on August 30-31. Perfect opportunity to find something cool!
Joining the society can be a great move! Local meetings often have members selling plants, too.
If you’re looking for online options, check out websites like The Succulent Company or Plant Delights. They usually have a fantastic selection and ship carefully, so your plants arrive in good shape. Just read the reviews to make sure they’re up to snuff!
I’ll give those sites a look! Thanks for the recommendations!
Good call! I've ordered from Plant Delights before and was really pleased with the quality.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into the society and definitely check out the RHS show. So many great options!
