    She'll romp away. Would it be rude to ask what you paid?

    £10 per plant and £6 delivery,  happy with that when you think a common old hosta that'll never be special wold set you back £8/10 in a garden centre. Given time these should look fantastic

    I'd say that's a pretty fair price

    And a copy of the East Anglian Daily Times included for no extra charge ... absolute bargain 👍 🤣 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    @Wilderbeast, if you are looking for a black Colocasia, I think Black Coral is a much better plant than Black Magic.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Shame you're not closer, I've got a couple of spares or Black Magic

    @Hostafan1 😭😭 that would have been great, I rather think driving down at the moment would class as unnecessary travel 😂. @punkdoc the black coral looks great too, the Mrs Wilderbeast is less than keen on all my plant shopping so it maybe a wait and see. How late can you plant them out for a display this year

    In South Yorkshire I dig mine up in early October and they go out in Early June.
    I admit I find the black ones much harder to grow than the green ones, not sure why.
