Ordered 60 mixed Gladioli bulbs (4x15 bulbs). Three of the four packets are all pink. Not even same pink/white as shown in the catalogue but a cheaper version. Of the remaining 15 there are two yellow and one deep pink (not as shown in catalogue). The suggestion from J Parkers is that those bulbs that are blind or did not flower are the mixed!!!
Good plants, prompt delivery. Kept informed because Parkers delayed despatch until the worst of the heatwave had passed.
Ordered 2 Hydrangea White Prince plants at a cost of £29.97 inc P&P (Order No. 23301701). Arrived in reasonable time and well packed, however, not impressed with the quality of the plants, very scraggly and sad looking, not good healthy examples at all. Popped into my local garden centre this morning and the similarly priced Hydrangea they have in stock are far supirior plants for a similar price when P&P is factored in.
Lesson learnt, won't be buying plants from J Parker again any time soon!!
Every year I purchase begonia plug plants and cannot thank you enough for the amazing quality and condition they are.

Had done my homework before ordering the sort of Hosta I required. They were packed beautifully with no movement to the plants enroute and after a short 'rest' have planted out. They look in top condition.
What's not to like.

My Monada was very dry, shrivelled leaves and the flowers brown. Disappointing. The plant was 5 days in getting from you to me in the very hot weather. Is Evri the best delivery service to use? Plant was deeply watered and I hope will recover with care.

I ordered several plants during May and all but one sprouted very quickly. I contacted Parkers regarding the failed plant, sent photos and they refunded the cost without question. I was very pleased with their response and also with the other thriving plants so would certainly use Parkers again in the future, Great customer service, highly recommended.
