    Hi

    Having had no luck with buying Lily Of The Valley from my local garden centre, I'm wondering which internet sites members favour.

    Hi cucumber - I have used Thompson and Morgan again and again, and so far have not had a single problem with them; another one I was highly impressed with was Crocus - their packaging and customer service was incredible.

    I'm sure that the experts around here will be able to give you a lot more options too :)

    EDIT - T&M appear to have what you are looking for

    You're welcome :)

    I'm not surprised to see them get such a good review - I was absolutely delighted with my purchases from them which were bigger than I'd seen anywhere, incredibly well packed and were delivered really fast. They are not the cheapest going, but their plants do seem to be specimens that are 'a cut above'

    I've used Gee-Tee a few times now, excellent service, plus recently ordered from Rose Cottage Plants excellent service again and i'm still waiting for an order to turn up from De Jagger but excellent service so far.

    Yes, I've had a lot of things from them (but not Lilly of the Valley).

    I've looked at Gee Tee as their prices work out very good for "bulk" purchases. I also looked (as part of the same exercise, so no actual experience of them) at flowerfarm.co.uk
