Mostly happy

Ordering easy, delivery on schedule and plants mostly doing well. My only complaint is the way plants are "stapled" together very, very tightly, usually with four ties even for the smallest. Some stems never recover.

Promptly delivered.

The salvias I ordered arrived promptly and were of high quality. 1 out of the 15 has subsequently died.

My 7 Salvias from Middleton Nurseries…

My 7 Salvias from Middleton Nurseries were the best plants I received this year - and I buy a lot of plants on line. Ordering process was easy. I was kept informed of progress (very helpful so I could prepare the ground, and in some cases pots ready for their arrival), updates on delivery and times were spot on and when the plants arrived they were beautifully packaged, not one leaf damaged. I will certainly be using this nursery again.
All my new salvias are now growing and flowering and look lovely.

Beautiful choice of Salvia plants

Ordered a selection of Salvia plants, all arrived well packed and in good condition and are thriving well despite the heat. Most are already flowering and the colours are lovely, there is such a huge choice of colours that I will likely buy more next year.

Chelsea Salvias

I ordered the salvias after seeing them on a fantastic display at Chelsea. The plants were very small and not in great condition . One of the salvias had been cut back so was very small and has only recently started to grow .

We're sorry to hear that your salvias arrived smaller than expected and that one had been cut back. Some salvias are trimmed before dispatch to encourage healthy new growth, but we understand this can be disappointing when you're expecting a fuller plant.

We're pleased to hear it has now started to grow, and we hope it continues to thrive and reward you with plenty of beautiful blooms. Thank you for your support and for choosing Middleton Nurseries. 💚

Really healthy little plants

Really healthy little plants, and they arrived in good condition. Three geums that are now in flower and growing well. All the plants I have had from Middleton Nurseries have been really good quality. I will definitely order from them again if something catches my eye.

Delayed order attended to promptly.

I wasn't warned in advance not to order plants before Chelsea Flower Show as Chelsea obviously takes priority and creates a delay on other orders. Eventually my order was despatched but a week later, still no sign of the plants. I contacted Middleton nurseries and they looked into it straight away and discovered that the plants had been held at the parcel distributor for too long. They duly despatched a fresh set of plants by courier and these arrived the next day. Thank you Middleton Nurseries!

The Only Place for Salvias

I would not go anywhere else for my salvias. The sheer range of colours and types cannot be found anywhere else. They are always lush and healthy.
