    I've just placed an order with them, so it's nice to see all the positive comments.
    They sent me a 20% discount code for friends, so if anyone on here wants to use it:

    Do they update their website just once a week ? I have signed up for their weekly newsletter, but wondered if they update the site each day. So much temptation!

    I just get the weekly email and they always state if a particular plant has sold out. If you click on anything it will tell you how many people are viewing it and how many left in stock. That makes it even more tempting if there are only a few left and other buyers are interested. Don't think they update during the week which is just as well as far as I am concerned. :)

    That's true Fran, l have managed to resist so far, mainly because my coldframes are all full, but l know if l see something really tempting l won't be able to resist!

    After seeing the hellebores in the cottage garden of @nultyphilip224 I feel I must get some of those! Will have a look at this week's email  :) Where I would plant them is another story.

    @FranIOM, I bought a trio of hellebore plants recently from ebay after a recommendation from another hellebore loving friend, who was very happy with his order.
    They are three different varieties, Frilly Kitty, Lily and Bridget, in 9cm pots. Although you can message the seller and request a combination that you would prefer. So l chose two Frilly Kitty, one for my cat obsessed cousin, and a Lily. They arrived carefully packed and were free p&p too. Fine , healthy plants that after potting on last week have many new leaves already. They were £12 for all three. I can't add a link for some reason but details below.

    @Rubytoo They have a Hellebores Niger on the email. The only one.  :( That would mean buying something else to make it up to free postage but there are several discount codes going begging... I really have to be sensible as although at present there appear to be plenty of spaces there are plants that will reappear in spring and I don't know exactly where apart from my Hosta following @Hostafan1 giving advice just to cut off flowers and have the stems still showing. I'll wait till next week's email and see ....🤔

    @lilysilly I have never bought from eBay before but will look into it. Sounds very reliable. Even more temptations. Many thanks for the information.  :)

    Ah sorry Fran. I meant another allotment for space to plant lots of new things.
    I know you do have some plant nurseries and Garden Centres there.
    H.Niger are quite common so I would imagine that this time of year you would /should find them easily even at DIY type stores. But discount codes :)
    Have fun everyone :)
