Did anyone buy these and have you had any luck with them. I've got 3 growing but the other 2 are doing nothing.I am getting so sick of QVC's plants after the Tree peonies and the Goji Berries and numerous other failures. The only time I get good results is with the specialist collections ie.the 5 bare root Hostas and a collection of Clematis which are absolutely beautiful.
 
I too am fed up with their plants. I do not even bother to watch the gardening shows now in case I get tempted and end up with yet another 'failure'. I have had the same problem with many plants including the tree peony's. But again the clematis collections have been lovely!
 
Hi Rosey, did you get any flowers on your Tree Peonies? I got one last year and one this year both on the white one. the Clematis as you say are wonderful, I did mine in two very large tubs, and made a wigwam of bamboo canes(home grown) and they are better than ever this year.
 
I had one flower on the white and one on the pink last year, nothing on the red - absolutely nothing on any of them this year just lots of leaves!

I bought the picardi(?) collection of clematis and put them in a large pot made a cane wig wam. I didnt buy them till late last year and they had a few flowers on last year. This year they are huge and have loads of buds but have not come into flower yet.

Also got another collection of 3 - pink and white ones and they are doing really well with lots of growth and buds and flowers. I put these against trellis in the garden.
 
Hi.......first post..... usually just a keen observer and dare i say it bargain hunter! Thanks to SWC i've managed to get loads of craft goodies over the past few months. I had to reply to this thread as i had the exact same problem...two of my geraniums came up and the other three are nowhere to be seen. I emailed CS and asked them what to do before my 30 MBG ran out. They offered a replacement but i could not accept that as going away and could not receive delivery. They have now refunded the whole amout. Very quick, very efficient!
 
I bought the TSV last year and had flowers on most of them. I have 2 in flower at the moment and leaves on another couple.
I read some where that one of the gardening experts was saying not to give on plants till August.
I too think they do over state the levels of expection on plants. I bought the strawberry TSv from last year though I got berries over a number of weeks I did not get enough to have a bowl. This year only the top basket of around 6 out of 30ish plants have survived. I had primulets, winterpansies, hellbores,and clematisis all of which have survived but not flowered as promised.
 
AGM perennial geraniums

I bought the set of 4 or 5 agm perennial geraniums. They came from Haylofts
originally. I duly followed the instructions on planting. I gave them a largish
pot each to start them off before they went in the garden.
I am a very experienced gardener and I was shocked with the pathetic offerings
sent to me but I stuck with it. I have bought oodles of bareroot plants over the years
and these were the worst I have seen. Surprise surprise, they did nothing.

QVC gave me a full refund.
 
Thanks for your replies, I rang CS and they have given me a full refund and I can keep the 3 which are growing.
