75cm Artificial Dahlia PomPom Flowers Orange
Lovely plants, but delivery a bit late.
I’m really happy with the plants – they look lovely in the front garden and were clearly well cared-for. Only reason for 4 stars is that delivery was a day later than expected, but everything else was spot on.

Nice plants, but a few were smaller than expected.
Ordered a mix of herbs and flowering plants for my patio. Everything looked fresh and vibrant, and the prices were better than my local garden centre. Highly recommend.
