The quality of the young plants was good with stong root systems and they have established themselves rapidly. The only downside - and I don’t hold D.T. Brown responsible - was the delivery service. T... See more

Not great communication or packaging
Ordered a selection of bulbs. Told that some would be sent out later on. Some were delivered but others were not. It was only after enquiring that I was informed there would be a further delay on remainder of order. When they arrived they were simply in a Jiffy bag rather than boxed as previous part of order had been. Jiffy bag was in a poor way when it reached me. Shan’t order from them again.

Always provide a great quick service.
Always provide a great quick service and plants/seeds that you know will just grow. It might not be a fault of DT Brown but how can you review their products after a couple of days when you haven't even had chance to plant anything let alone let them grow!!
