Colour in your garden with Sutton Seeds

Beautiful isnt it?

Just before we headed on holiday we had a lovely delivery of plants from Sutton seeds. Ordering plants or seeds online always seems to be a little bit of a risky business.  You can never be 100% sure of the quality of plants and you have to base it all on the description given and the name of the company. And of course what about how these delicate plants will make it being taken along in the post?

So well packaged!
Even the tall plants werent damaged!

Well Sutton Seeds are a fabulous family name. I can remember looking through my grandpas seed packets 30 years and seeing the name Suttons on most of the packets. They are just as strong a family name as they were back then so I waited in anticipation to see how they did with plants not seeds…

I decided to go the whole way and decided to choose the LuckyDip of mixed perennial plants. The lucky dip entitles you to an amazing range of plants which have all been overwintered and established good roots. At a cost of £14.99 you are receiving nearly £100 worth of plants! And of course being perennials they will offer you colour year after year. You received 12 plants which are supplied in pots and are chosen at random. Perfect for a new garden but if you have a detailed planned garden it might be worth going for one of their other great offers.

They arrived healthy and damp soiled.

They arrived very quickly and I was glad to see very well protected in their box. Each pot had been thoroughly soaked before being sent off and had a plastic bag around the base to ensure they stayed moist on their trip.  The plants we received were a delightful range and some I had never heard of. I can’t wait to see what they look like next year. We received a gorgeous grass to plant in one of our shady spots and another evergreen plant which promises to add a touch of light and colour in a shady spot too. The plants were all well rooted and after a good soak were planted out. A week later they still hadn’t been eaten by slugs! I cannot decide which is my favourite and they filled up our new bed a treat. We received a real range of heights and sun or shady spot plants, there is definitely something for everyone in the pack!

Wonderful selection and all well labeled

Just look at those roots! 

My husband did call up Suttons as we were unsure how to treat one of the plants and they were incredibly helpful and polite on the phone. I especially loved the fact the one of the plants was in flower and that they were all so well established and ready to go! A real ten out of ten here from all of us and I’m in the process of buying another lucky dip!
