Hey everyone! I'm looking to add some plants to my planter, specifically some low-level ground cover and a few others. I've done a bit of research on GardeningExpress, but I've come across some mixed reviews. Has anyone here had any experience with them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've ordered from GardeningExpress a bunch of times and honestly, about 95% of my plants have been great! I often find amazing clearance deals for just £1. Just keep an eye on the dispatch times; if a week and a half goes by without your order being shipped, reach out to them. I usually have to remind them about a third of the time, but overall, they’re fine to deal with! ?
I’d say avoid them if you can. You can often find better options at supermarkets like Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, or even a local garden center. Just my two cents!
My experience has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Sometimes I’d get perfectly fine plants, other times they arrive looking crispy and sad after weeks in transit. Remember, they aren't always fresh off the plant! If it's been packed for a few days before it even gets to you, it can be a rough start. If the plants are too wilted when they arrive, it’s probably not going to end well. But, I haven't had a dead arrival yet, so it's a mixed bag!
Yeah, that sounds about right. I had a similar experience with some plants I received. They looked rough at first but perked up after a week or so. Definitely check how they’re packaged and consider that they might be a bit stressed!
