Recommendations for online shrub/plant/seed company that will deliver quickly

Thanks to an earlier thread, I now have a list of plants to buy, and want to buy seeds too, for planting/sowing over the Easter weekend.

If I place an order today, are there any reliable online companies that will deliver ready for Good Friday?

There are plenty of garden centres around here, but no guarantee they'll have everything I need in one place - I just tried the nearest one for clematis armandii and it doesn't have it for instance - so makes more sense to order online.

Most places won't give a definite delivery window, especially when it comes to live plants. I'd ring around local garden centres, but it's unlikely you can get everything all under one roof.

Try Crocus. They're quite pricey though.

I ordered some stuff from Crocus a couple of weeks ago on a Mon eve and it arrived Weds a.m., but not sure how it will be in lead up to Easter. Not sure if they do seeds though?

Thanks all - before seeing your replies (I'm impatient!) I ordered from [http://the-plant-directory.co.uk/] as their website promised quick delivery. But I've added a note to say if they can't deliver by Friday to let me know as I would then cancel my order.

It looks like a good website and had a good range of plants.

Will let you know how I get on - I'd prefer to spend my limited time actually doing the gardening than traipsing around different garden centres with all the other bank-holiday shoppers. But I may have to if the order doesn't turn up in time.

realseeds.co.uk have always delivered really quickly and they have an excellent range of vegetables.
