Didn’t cover nearly the amount it said it would. I ordered 10m2 and didn’t even get enough for my 3m2 garden patch 😢 UPDATE They’ve now emailed me asking about this review to an email that doesn’t accept replies even though they asked me to and the email subject asks if I’m “dispaointed”. how did this company get this far??? AVOID

In November 23 I bought wild garlic, native blue bell and snowdrop bulbs costing £175. I planted all these shortly after they arrived even though some of the bulbs did not look viable. None of the snowdrops came through. It is now the 7th of April and I have had 4 wild garlic flowers and 3 bluebells. I was very disappointed with this and contacted meadowmania. They said the problem was likely to have been the wet winter. They offered me 20% discount off my next purchase as a goodwill gesture. Next year I will get buy my bulbs from a different company and see if they germinate.

Not up to usual standard. I pre-ordered 50 Wood Anemone 'bulbs' advertised for Spring planting and waited several weeks for them to arrive, had to chase the delivery in fact. These are not bulbs in the conventional sense but linear strips of root around 2" in length. A few were showing signs of buds but the vast majority were not, and were dry. This is a flower that should be planted as bulbs in the Autumn, not Spring, and even though I put them in immediately upon receipt I doubt they'll have time to make a show this year, and I have low to zero expectation I'll see them in 2025.

Hi Peter, sorry that you are unhappy with your order. These 'linear strips' that you refer to are Rhizomes, and due to them being a different shape from a bulb, we have posted photos on the product page to demonstrate how they look. Since you feel that they should be planted in Autumn, I am confused as to why you ordered Spring planting rhizomes and at this time of the year... Sorry to hear you have such low expectations for them, I hope it gives you comfort to hear that we have every confidence in them! With regards to the delivery, again apologies that this took longer than you hoped, we agree that the lead time can be longer than a typical e-commerce website, particularly at this time of year, we do our very best to outline the lead times on the product page and the delivery page - sorry if this wasn't clear enough.

I have repeatedly asked when I will receive my order of wild garlic. It has not arrived and no-one has responded to my queries about whether I get a refund or if they will ever turn up.

I gave this review of Meadowmania (below). At the bottom is the response from meadowmania. First, she tells me that the product " very clearly outlines" it's 67% make-up. Total lies: the percentages are in a hidden drop-down menu at the bottom of the page. Second, she says her "colleague tried to understand why i was so angry", she didn't, her attitude was that of somebody thinking "Oh, here we go again" and she signposted me to the small print (the hidden drop-down menu at the bottom of the page), she then says I "personally insulted" her. No I didn't but i was angry. And i'll tell you why: this is my last chance to plant for the year, there's no time now to send these back and get a replacement. You know exactly what you're up to, otherwise the percentages would be at the top of the page in view, not hidden away at the bottom in a drop down. The price. For a "superior" hedge mix of 50 whips was roughly £150 including postage. I just went and bought the plants i need yesterday, individually, for £1.19 each from another supplier. Less than half price and closer to the price they should cost. I also bought flower seeds from meadowmania. I'll plant these next to a bed bought from the different supplier to compare. Make sure you read the one star reviews before buying from this company. I suspect most of the 5-star reviews are fabricated. I ordered 50 "Superior Native Hedging Mix". There were supposed to be 13 different varieties. I got 32 hawthorns, 5 of another, and just one of each of the rest. I called up about it and they told me to check the hidden drop-down on the website where it has the percentages (so actually, it's on the website so we've not done anything wrong.) Cheap swindlers! totally unacceptable!” Posted 15 hours ago Read MeadowMania Reviews Hi William, Sorry to hear you are so disappointed with what you received. While that particular product very clearly outlines that that mixture is made up of 67% Hawthorn (which is very typical of a hedging mix, but not the same as our other hedging mixtures), my colleague did try to understand why you were so angry and try to help come up with a solution, but since you personally insulted her, swore and then hung up the phone it made it very difficult to help. I'm sure that you will notice from our many other reviews that we pride ourselves on going above and beyond to help our customers whether it be with advice or queries, so I am disappointed that we weren't given the opportunity to in this instance too.

I placed my order on 18th Feb and it has still not arrived. I emailed yesterday to chase this and was told it would be dispatched in a few days.. no date confirmed just a loose estimate of ‘a few days’ Dispatch time was quoted at between 5-10days. Had I known it would be longer than 10days I would have ordered from a different company

Purchased 50 Snow Drob bulbs in February 2023. They arrived within the expected delivery window but there was less than 50 bulbs. Not a major issue in itself but the bulbs looked 'old' and not particularly 'green' and had minimal root growth. When I contacted the company they were insistent on a photograph of the bulbs. I pointed out that I wasn't claiming a refund but they insisted there was nothing they could do without a photograph. Shame that an apology wasn't forthcoming at the outset and not simply focusssd on a justification for a refund.

We know what wild flowers SHOULD have come up, since we have been cultivating these all over our land for the last 13 years. To cover bare soil after an installation, we thought we'd take a short cut by buying Meadowmania seed. It was properly sown at the right time, watered, cared for and protected until established, but nothing except the most minute poppies and one other tiny flower (the boulder in the photo is huge) came up. Not even any grasses! As an experiment, I planted the clay mix on one side and chalk on the other, expecting the chalk flowers not to work (we have chalky boulder clay), but there was absolutely no difference between the 2 types. A complete con and a waste of money, but above all of effort.

We've reached out to this customer with no response to date. Hopefully, they will come back soon and we can try and help. The mixtures sown included Poppy & Yellow Rattle and the rest of species were perennials. We supplied them in the last week of April. So, they were either sown then or the first week in May. In the first year, you may only see the annuals. The perennials start to come to the fore from the second year onward. This summer has been very challenging for late sown meadows. We have had one of the driest summers for years. This customer lives in Kent which has had little rain over the summer. The dry weather impacts the growth and the success of any meadow. Our general advice is that if you have a concern about your Meadow. If you reach out to us and supply some information we will look to try and help if we can.

I was very disappointed with the wild flowers plugs. The poppies were minuscule tiny shreds, the cornflowers not much better. Although I paid on ordering by credit card, they took many weeks to arrive.

Wildflower plugs plants are tricky to grow and are weather dependent as they are grown semi outdoors. This means they can, in some years, take longer to develop than we would expect. This can delay dispatch. All the plugs we send will have an established healthy root system but some can be smaller than others. If you have any concerns about the plants you receive if you contact us when you receive them we can look to resolve any issue.

Over priced poor quality of types of plants as plugs will not use again

The customer bought 50 grams of our WILD1 wildflower seed mix. We delivered the correct product. When they received it they had wanted a mixture with more wild flower species in the mix. We offered to send a replacement seed mix our WILD3 mix. This has a wider range of species. We asked if they could return the WILD1 seed mix to us and we would send the replacement seed. They chose not to take this option.

Seeds arrived very quickly. I followed the instructions to the letter…. Nothing….. non of the seeds germinated despite the warm weather and light watering when needed. Very disappointed

If you have concerns about the seeds we supply, then if you contact us direct we will try to resolve the matter. Wildflower seeds are generally slow to grow and they do not start germination in a couple of weeks. Gemination times will vary from species to species

I recently bought 10 plugs of yellow rattle to put into my small wild flower patch. The plants I received were really tiny (about 3 cm high) they were spindly and did not look particularly healthy. I paid £27.00 for these teeny plants and paid £3.50 for postage. £30.50 spent and all plants have since died even though I tried my best to bring them on. Very disappointing and really expensive.
