A new Hydrangea

Take it back!
But first of all check for vine weevil

How on earth had it survived enough to look good in the shop? definitely take if back.

Hi, I wish I had he front to take it back. If it has vine weevil, is there anything I can do with ? x

Both Lidl and Aldi will exchange, or refund, without quibble. No problem!

We bought small poinsettias at Christmas from Lidl and these are big, colourful plants now. Other Half isn't keen on them but I love them.

I like Dianthus plants also and we bought quite a lot from a garden centre. They've made a nice show but the ones daughter bought from Lidl's knocks spots off them.

Best to buy plants the day they arrive and complain when a plant doesn't have a root!!! :O)

Loupylou you really must take it back. Apart from anything else the shop needs to know if they have been supplied with faulty goods. Its not the fault of the local shop.

Good afternoon all,
I took your advice and took the plant back to the shop and they did not hesitate in giving me a refund, they even gave me a bunch of cut flowers as an apology , which was very unexpected. x

Oh so pleased that you did .......restores your faith doesn't it
Flowers too ?

I'm sorry about your plant, however I must say I've had very good plants from Lidl, especially succulents :)
I would have taken it back and complained.

Oh, I'm so glad you took it back. Similar happened to me last year with a houseplant. I think someone had picked up some broken bits and stuck it in an empty pot! There was one rooted bit on mine though, so I kept it and it's now growing well. But no roots at all? That's dreadful. I'm glad it all worked out ok. Hope you find a good white Hydrangea soon. Be careful as a lot of the new white ones mature to pink or even red. I have one called Wedding Gown..you'd think that would be pure white...but it fades to deep wine red, which I love, but it was a big surprise! Oh, and also, a lot of the hydrangeas sold in Supermarkets are not hardy for outdoors in the UK, so probably better go to a Garden Centre. B&Q are good for this kind of thing as well...and good prices.
