  Hi just had a email from crocus.
  
  Good morning 
   
  Thank you for your recent order. I regret however that our Nursery Manager has rejected stock of the Ipomoea lobata due to poor quality, and unfortunately no further stock is available.
   
  We have therefore cancelled your order and have refunded the amount of £28.95 back to your card.
   
  Please accept our apologies for any disappointment this may cause.
   
  Best Regards

  So it looks like I'm back to square one the reason I chose "Spanish flag" was I saw it on Gardeners World episode 1 or 2. ( it was a lovely chap doing a 5 minute slot on annual climbers)
  
  So can anyone recommend a very fast growing annual for the Trellis at the front of my house. ( south facing house)
  
  Must be potted.

  That' a shame, but at least they didn't send you substandard plants.

  Maybe have a look in your local garden centres and see what they've got?  Sweet peas spring to mind, or maybe Thunbergia (black-eyed susan). Or (slightly out there suggestion) climbing veggies like runner beans?
  

  Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
