“I bought quite a few packets of seeds, I mixed the all up in a container and sowed them in a bit next to my front door.
Unfortunately, only 1 type of plant seems to have grown.
Disappointed”
“Planted the seeds 4 weeks ago in fresh soil and absolutely nothing has appeared. I have watered the ground in hope and expectation to no avail. disappointing. Total waste of money”
“Was all geared up to buy field poppy seeds which I'd selected but up came an "offer" so I added ox-eye daisy and cornflower as I love these too and had them in my old garden . However the packet in the daisy and cornflower seeds says annual= one season wonder , unlike the poppies. Very misleading bundle.
I've only just got around to sowing them as it's been very cold nights still here in Scotland and during the day to be honest and I can't get my hands to work very well in the cold due to arthritis. Now not sure I'll bother at all! Note to self -don't buy online!!”
Hi,
Thanks for your review, and I’m really sorry for the confusion here.
Just to clarify, both field poppies and cornflowers are annuals, and they are listed as such on the website. Ox eye daisies are perennials, so they should come back once established.
The bundle itself is simply a group of seeds that customers often like to buy together, rather than a perennial only collection, but I completely understand how that could have felt misleading once the packets arrived. We will take a look at how this is presented to make sure it is clearer.
Please do still sow them if you can, as poppies, cornflowers and ox eye daisies can look absolutely lovely together. The poppies and cornflowers should give you that classic first season colour, and the ox eye daisies should build into a longer term display.
I’m also sorry to hear it has been difficult with the cold nights and your arthritis. If you need any help with when or how to sow them in Scotland, just drop us a message and we’ll happily help.
Many thanks,
Max
Hi Hayley,
I have just seen your review and wanted to reach out.
I have checked your order and it looks like Royal Mail returned it to us as the delivery address was incomplete. It seems the house address, was missing from than the shipping address.
If that is correct, I would be very happy to get this resent straight away for you.
I have sent an email to confirm the full delivery address and I will get it back out to you as a priority.
Sorry again for the hassle here, and thank you for your patience.
Best,
Max
“I am sure the seeds are fine but as a beginner the packets do not give me any information and the wrong leaflet was sent and I am waiting for the correct one to arrive. It was sent via email but file is much too big for me to open.”
Hi Julie, I believe the flyer has now been received by you, and apologies for not getting the correct flyer out to you in the first instance.
Hope the seeds are going well. Max.
