    😍 ah Lynn this is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for and that shade of blue-purple is also exactly what I need! I will definitely be giving these a go! 😁

    Brilliant! Have a go. They’re cheap enough, no need to pay fancy prices for fancy packaging.

    If you buy in 9cm pots now, pot on into 15cm pots of good compost and let grow on cool, eg a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. When the roots fill the 15cm pot, they should be OK to plant out after a few days hardening off. (Leave out against a house wall to give a bit of protection. ) If you then plant them 40cm apart as a clump of three or five, you should get a good display this year, and better next year.
    Hi so you need 3-5 9cm pots planted 40cm apart?
