    I would suggest the difference in price is flowers.
    Expensive ones will probably flower this summer.
    Cheap ones will be tiny plants and won't flower until 2020.

    If you see them in flower at least you are guaranteed getting the colour that you want.

    Thank you thrifty gardeners, they have just what I want. What a good idea to see them  In flower, I can make Plymouth without too much hassle. Kind regards to all. Val

    Saw a Nursery selling them at £5 to £6 at a Plant Hunters Fair at Hodnet Hall last week. In flower and good big clumps too.

    They are old and have ill health, it wasn’t anywhere near to Plymouth though.

    I've found that , like most plants, certain varieties ,eg, newer hybrids/ larger flowered are more expensive than older/more common varieties.
