Customer Reviews
I needed to find 40 x Phormium "Dark Delight" for our townhouse planter boxes. Nursery Warehouse had them in stock and a decent size. But then I needed to delay delivery for some weeks until some other work was completed. Mathew & Steven were really understanding, helpful & accommodating. When the plants arrived, they were in stunning condition and I'm really happy with the planting. Thanks Nursery Warehouse!
