Chrysanth cuttings
 

I know its late for this but I sent for fifty chrysanth cuttings from a
nursery advertising in the Garden News back in March. They cashed the cheque
but nothing arrived and last week after I sent a letter asking where my
cuttings were I got a run around!

Old story ,.... sent poor cuttings, not what I asked for and not even the
quantity I ordered - which were actually dead I suspect dead when packed
judging by the state of them but certainly in less than 24 hours whilst in
the post.

All in all a big mistake on my part .

What pee's me off most is that the nursery concerned is still advertising!


I have written to try and get my money back.

Meanwhile I am here a chrysanth bed all prepared without chrysanth cuttings
.. I would like blooms and sprays, I had ordered a number of named varieties
but I know I cant be fussy now.

Anyone know of a specialist in the Devon /Cornwall region - say around 30/40
miles radius of Plymouth , where I can go and get some?

Also anyone else had a problem similar to mine with mail order cuttings?

Please let us know its name, so that we can avoid it.

The company I use is Collinwood Nurseries which is closing due to various
circumstances but before I used them I used to get lovely Chrysanth plants
in the pannier market at the bottom of town in the City Centre. I suspect
you will still get them there. I believe Thursday is the best day

No. I fear I did not. they did not take credit cards. It was strictly
cheque payment with order.
I have learned not to be so trusting. They cant even bother to answer me
now.
The nursery is in Malvern. Advertises in Garden News every week.
