Plenty of buyers have also left their thoughts of the company on Trustpilot where it averages 4.2 stars out of five. One review there says: "The prices were so low that I wasn't expecting very well established plants - but there was such an interesting selection that I thought it was worth it and I'd be able to grow the plants on until they were big enough to be planted out. I'm delighted to say that I was wrong and every plant is top class!"
Another added: "Always a good experience with Gardening Express. The plants arrived quickly and really well packaged. They're wrapped and made secure within the outer packaging. You can see this has been done with true care towards the plants. All 4 plants are healthy and well. Letting them rest in our conservatory for a while before they are planted out."
However, one did point out: "Delivery was fast and efficient, and the plant is in good condition. The problem is the size. I emailed by (my) concern to be told it is 'within tolerance.' It is disappointing that an advertised 5-foot tree is acceptably delivered at just under 4.5 feet from the base of the pot."

That particular product includes a variety of premium Dutch bulbs: 7 Tulipa Van Eijk, 35 Allium Moly, 4 Mixed Narcissus, 25 Muscari Armeniacum, 18 Mixed Iris Hollandica, and 12 Mixed Ixia, ensuring a vibrant spring display.
It has e from reviewers so far. One said: "I would definitely buy again, such a great variety of bulbs that came very promptly and directions are really easy to read, all really good quality bulbs as well. Now, just to wait to see them grow in the spring."
Another continued: "Real value for money, looking forward to planting these bulbs up and seeing the results in the spring." However, one wasn't so thrilled, adding: "Loads of bulbs for this price but some of them literally were so dry they fell apart when I took them out of the bag."
