Best online retailers

[smerlin]

Looking for some recommendations for buying online. Have had two big successes last season - blueberry bushes from an online blueberry farmer and rose bushes from David Austin. Raspberry bush from Marshall's was a nightmare, arrived half dead and never really thrived at all.

Would like to buy from more specialists if possible if anyone has any recommendations. Know all the local garden centres but none are great. Thanks!

I use Crocus and the Televraph Garden Shop, both are excellent. Avoid Primrose at all costs.

Can I ask what blueberry farmer it was? We got three small pink blueberry plants from gardening express and they are tiny (1yr old) so probably won’t produce in the next year or two so would like someone who knows there stuff and supplies decent plants.

Our local garden centre only did three varieties (we got one of each, only one produced fruit last year). Given they didn’t really sell very well (on sale and neglected for two years) I assume they probably won’t restock them.

I recommend YouGarden - especially when they have their periodic 20% discounts

Crocus is good but expensive

I mostly buy perennials and would recommend:
Beth Chatto
Elizabeth McGregor (my favourite)
Great Dixter

For bulbs:
Peter Nyssen
Jacques

Have been disappointed by Burncoose, Primrose and Crocus. All expensive and not v good value

Jacques Amand

Ooh lots of new suggestions thanks

We used Trehane Nursery for blueberries- three different bushes, all of which fruited this year.

Just remembered ...
Had good plants from Cotswold Garden Flowers last year. Very chunky
