On Topic again, what if a plant doesn't flower (for example) after planted.
I would leave it til next year and see if it "recovers". a 6 month
exchange would therefore not cover the plant

But you don't get non-functional non-flowering plants - as long as it is
alive, it will eventually flower given correct treatment. By the time
you've left it into a second season, what you've done to it probably has
more influence on its flowering than what the nursery did a year
previously. So it's not really fair on the nursery to take it back that
long afterwards, unless you are claiming it was sick when you bought it
and hasn't recovered since.


No decent nursery or gc is going to sell plants that are sick and 'not fit
for purpose'. It's nonsense for them to do so and would ruin their
reputation in months. Kay is correct to say that it's not fair on the
nursery to claim that there is something wrong with a plant which may well
have been in the hands of the customer longer than it has been in the hands
of the nursery!
