Sweet Woodruff
I was delighted with these beautiful little plants. I was overwhelmed by how healthy and alive they were and so well packaged. I shall most definately be using this company again...I have tried several online nurseries and this is by far the best. The plants were planted immediately and are thriving!

Excellent quality and service
Excited to have promptly received my order this morning containing my Sweet Woodruff. Securely packaged, a great quality established plant (far better than expected especially early in the year). Purchased as its a low growing plant suitable for shady areas and I've been watching far too many episodes of The Great British Menu :D
