Left Hand, Right Hand?
In 2022 I purchased 3 bare rooted Astrantia Ruby Cloud and 3 bare rooted orange Phlox which I received late Autumn. The Astrantia flowered summer 2023 and these turned out to be white not Ruby, Parkers replaced them Autumn 2023 with 3 more, these also turned out to be white and not Ruby in 2024, the orange Phlox flowered that year and they were Pink. Having sent photographs of both items Parkers again replaced the Astrantia and also the Phlox in Autumn 2024, the Astrantia have just flowered June 2025 and are white again. In April this year I purchased 3 Chasmanthe bulbs planted them straight away in a tub and should have been up by now, dug one out yesterday, bulbs still solid but no root or top growth, more money wasted. After many years as a customer of Parkers I think I shall shop elsewhere as it seems Parkers left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
