Perhill Nursery.
Has any one bought plants from here? If so what are they ie plants quality like?
They seem very reasonable.
Decided to finally give T&- and Park--s a miss this year and try some other companies.

I had disappointing plants from them before so don't use them, lets hope you are luckier than I was Lizziebee.

If it is the Perhill Nursery which I know then the place is overrun with weeds. Never bought from them other than at the Nursery so no idea what their Postal service is like.

'over run with weeds' doesnt sound too encouraging and their postal costs would mean plants that seem to be £3.70 end up cost £5+ so not that much of a bargain especially if the plants have lots of weed seeds. They are in Worcs , so does that fit with the one you know Owd? What were the plants like from the nursery?

I've bought from them - some hard to find perennial plants, which were absolutely tiny, root wrapped in plastic and laid sideways all in one box. All a bit flattened, but they all grew - along with a variety of weeds which were not obvious at planting, so yea, Owdboggy's right - they are really, really bad at weeding, apparently. So long as you're prepared to weed as they grow, there's nothing wrong with the plants themselves.

Exactly. The ones we bought had to be bare rooted before planting to give us at least a fighting chance of clean plants.
Sad really as the owner is a really nice chap and works very hard, but he is on his own.

I've bought a few plants from Perhill N. but only on line and I've been pleased with them. Some asters and adenophera. I would certainly use them again.
