I've seen on here talk of good websites to buy plants that get delivered, but i can't find anything referring to them looking through these threads. Can anyone give me any recommendations please?

I usually go to the garden centre but I don't have any free time in the next couple of weeks.

I want to add a bit of colour to my partly shady borders so looking for flowers that will last the rest of the summer.

TIA

I use Crocus or Telegraph garden shop. Van Meuwan is Ok avoid Parker’s and Primrose.

I've used Crocus and Plants For Shade. I have also found it really helpful to use both of these websites to search for plants that are suitable for certain conditions.

Dobies is good. The organic gardening catalogue used to be good but is now absolutley rubbish.

Thanks all. I've just bought some bedding flowers from Dobies as they had the most choice in stock. Love the websites. Thanks!

I like Claire Austin's site.And as a novice to roses have found the quality from David Austin superb

Elizabeth MacGregor is excellent too

If I want a quality plant - Crocus.

I know - so sad - I just cannot recommend using this any more.

I rate Sarah Raven - excellent quality plants etc, with good varieties not available elsewhere. I love her colour combination. The customer service is good too, as is that of Crocus, if a plant dies on you.
