also was a potted daphne, to replace my sadly deceased one.
However, 6 plugs of each of delphinium and echinacea were totally
devoid of any growth at all.
What crazy company sends out plants just before a bank holiday?
I have sent a strong complaint to Parkers.
Any one else had such a thing happen?

Pam this has come up, with this company, before I am quite certain. Such a shame that you are unable to visit a garden centre or nursery, because I maintain, and others have supported me, that anybody dealing in plants "mail order", get rid of their dross and hope nobody complains, if they do "Well we have never had any complaints before" and ship the whole lot again.
We found something my wife wanted today in Morrisons!!!!! but decided to VISIT a proper garden centre and deal with proper people face to face........ But then she has been gardening for rather a long time and has learnt the hard way over many years.
