Bought a bunch of peonies and stocks. Within 4 days the stocks had died and peonies showed no signs of opening. I actually rang m and s and was told they could take up to 3 weeks to open. However. Leaves drooping and the peonies quite dry. I thought far enough we will wait and see. 2 weeks later still no sign of life. I have bought some from Sainsbury's and coop and they are a much better quality than m and s who pride themselves on quality. As a side note I bought my daughter in law a bunch without the stocks at the same time. They look exactly the same. Un opened and droopy leaves. .I will never purchase flowers or plants from there.
