Customer Reviews
I found you to be so helpful. You really were! It is not often that people call and answer questions and spend the extra effort in helping others obtain just what they are looking for. You certainly were clear, communicated well about delivery times, and above all helpful in every way.
~ Annie
Your plants are the best rhodos I have seen for a VERY long time, and represent very good value for money
~ Ross
We have been delighted to receive two consignments from you in the past month, each of 6 rhododendrons. In both instances, your plants have travelled 538 km totally reliably within two days - arriving still moist, with foliage gratifyingly undamaged and just begging to be let out of their cartons to start new lives. Thank you for the considerable time you spend ensuring that your rhodos reach us in such pristine condition
~ Jo & Richard
We are 1st-time customers. We want to thank your staff who we dealt with in our recent purchase. They arrived today in great condition and so quickly delivered to our door.
~ Dawn & Dave
Thank you so much for the advice in your newsletter- very timely as I was asking myself all those questions about fertilising and pruning. It's great to be reminded in the season too.
~ Briar
Your information and help were great, nothing was a problem and the extra lengths that you went to oblige us was fantastic. We have no hesitation in recommending Rhodo Direct to anyone wanting that special Rhodo.
