4 reviews for Fritillaria Meleagris – PRE-ORDER DISPATCHED MID-SEPTEMBER ONWARDS
Thank you for my recent order of Fritillaria Meleagris which arrived very quickly and are in perfect condition to plant out now. Excellent quality!
Quality plants and fast service. Looking forward to their spring abundance
Very late in the season but needed fritillaria for a new area so ordered 100 bulbs with little expectation. Imagine my delight when a bag arrived within a couple of days with the plumpest, healthiest bulbs all very cozily nestled in compost, some already pushing up tiny shoots. There wasn’t one in the whole bag which was damaged or unhealthy. Delighted!
Received my fritillaries bulbs today. I was very impressed at the speed of the delivery and was even more impressed with the quality of these bulbs. I would definitely buy from this company again and would not hesitate in recommending. A big thankyou
