Excellent quality and value
Very happy. Healthy plants, well packaged and great value. I will be using again. Thank you.
Just received my plant from Dorset…
Just received my plant from Dorset perennials. I would definitely recommend this nursery. The plant was well grown , of a good size , a good price and very well packed . I will be buying more in the future as I was very impressed.
Excellent plants and service
I’m very happy with my plants which are well established and healthy. They were packed beautifully and delivery was prompt. Altogether a brilliant experience and I’ll be back to order more
Great plants, and service.
My order arrived very well packed, the plants were great quality, ready to plant out with clear instructions, and a thoughtful message was included about the colder weather later this week.
Thank you for the great service. I will definitely be ordering again.
A very reliable company
As usual, the plants are healthy and in excellent condition. The packaging was strong enough to withstand handling by the Royal Mail.
It is reassuring to have found a reliable company - (that is Dorset Perennials not the RM).
Excellent service from Dawn & Martin…
Excellent service from Dawn & Martin and their team. Healthy plants arrived well packaged and in good condition. It’s obvious that they care about the plants and their customers. I will definitely source my plants from them again and spread the word.
Couldn't be happier
A really good experience with Dorset Perennials and I will be using them in future as a result. Good range of plants to choose from and the 7 plants I ordered arrived very quickly and in great condition. Very impressed with the care that went into wrapping and securing them for transit. First rate.
Great information on their website, matched by great quality plants
Great information on their online plant listings - a really good place to go for inspiration and advice on plants, and pick up a great plant for an excellent price whilst you're there.
Found them whilst searching for primroses at a reasonable price (most places seem to sell them for double Dorset Perennials). Have been *very* impressed by the quality of the plants received, and will be making a concerted effort to buy from Dorset Perennials instead of our usual larger online retailers going forwards.
Great value beautiful plants
Delighted with the nine plants I received. They arrived quickly and safely packaged (including a sticker on the top informing Parcelforce that the box contained plants). Six of them are already bursting into flower and full of very healthy leaves. Astrantia major were still quietly snoozing in their pots, but I am sure they will be just as glorious when their turn to bloom comes. I shall definitely be ordering from this company again.
I'll be back for more
Dorset Perennials and I'll be back for more plants.
First time user of this company. Just received my plants - 2 types of geums - and they are really lovely plants. Delivered in great condition. The pricing seemed really good too.
I always prefer to try and support the smaller companies - although that initial order is always nerve wracking as I'm always weary of frauds and if not fraud you might get lousy plants.
I really like their ethos of growing plants that are suited for the UK steer clear of the fancy that might not survive. I'm a new gardener so can easily be miss lead and lack knowledge. This company has helped educate me in what to plant.
Delighted With Plants and Packing
The best well packed plants I have received (but would prefer no staples). All the plants were wonderfully healthy. I will definitely buy from Dorset Perennials again. Thank you.
First rate supplier
My first order, I was really pleased with the plants - good strong specimens and absolutely brilliantly packed for posting. Definitely recommend this business.
A wonderful company
First time ordering from this company and would gladly do so again. Everything came in great condition, exactly the quality of plant I would choose myself in-person, they've exceeded my expectations of online plant ordering. I waited to write a review until I had got the plants in the ground, and am happy to say they have grown in beautifully already (it's only been a few weeks!) They made sure to include the plant care information, and the handwritten note offering ongoing advice was a delightful addition. Highly highly recommend.
Dorset Perennials is a superb nursery …
Dorset Perennials grow beautifully strong, healthy plants that arrive in peak condition having been carefully packed to avoid any plant damage and delivered really quickly. I’ve ordered plants over 3 years. Their plant knowledge and help is invaluable. If I could give 6* I would!

Have they gone out of business?
I am loathe to write this review as I've previously had excellent service from Dorset Perennials and excellent plants. However I placed an order on 15th July for £40+ and I've never received it nor had notification of its availability for collection, although the money has gone from my account.
I have emailed them, telephoned them and sent messages via Facebook with no response and I feel that this lovely nursery may have gone out of business. A terrible shame if they have but my advice is to contact the nursery before placing an order in case you lose cash like me.

Dorset Perennials are brilliant
Dorset Perennials are brilliant - fantastic flowers, amazing service and delivery and I am a first time gardener so I was no help...just top quality plants - thank you.
Highly Recommended
Second order from Dorset perennials and just as high a standard as the first one last year. The plants are healthy, well packed and when appropriate a handwritten note on the invoice which lends a really personal touch to the transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will order again in the future. The generosity to leave 'Primula Beesiana' seedlings in the pot for me to plant on was a lovely gesture.
Order received within 24 hours - amazing.
Just received my order from Dorsetperennials they arrived within 24 hours of ordering which was amazing. They are beautiful plants and carefully packaged. Thank you so much. Will certainly recommend to friends and family and would not hesitate to use again.
Great plants
Ordered for the first time, very pleased with the experience. Quick delivery, very well packaged plants which look happy and healthy. Good prices as well. Can fully recommend and will order again.
No gimmicks, just good plants !
My third or fourth purchase from this nursery. Excellent plants, beautifully packed, and they thrive as soon as they're planted. There are no gimmicks or bits of garden knick-knackery, just good plants for proper gardeners.
