I'm not sure if supply has just been a bit dodgy with Covid these last few years, if they are a little hard to propagate or what was going on, but I put in two orders last year online and had them cancelled. There were certain colours I couldn't find for love nor money. But then a load turned up in my GC. The favourite one I tried was 'Flame' - which is a dusky apricot/rose/dark raspberry ripple type affair.
I suspect that if they can't weather East Anglia they aren't going to like
Gironanesque frosts.
those with Illumination varieties.. I know they are perennials.. incidentally I placed an order earlier today... came back and found more pics here.. question is, do they flower in their first year? supposed to come in 9cm pots... and do they do well in pots? Hate losing most of my perennials when I move...
I ordered 2 plants (2 varieties) in 2l pots last year but they were out of stock/too small, so I received 2x 3 plants in 1l pots. They flowered well in their first year, so I think 9cm plants should too. And because I have 6 plants instead of 2, I had to put some of them in pots and they are doing well.
oh wow, those Delphiniums... but I love that Digitalis parviflora the best I think, I've not seen it before.. lovely.. ..nice to see a different Coreopsis Uptick too.. more pleasing colour perhaps..
.beautiful Victor, and a place for quiet repose...
'E's and 'F's... I've only got one unless I include Fuchsias, which are like woody perennials I suppose..
I was so pleased when I germinated this Echinacea and grew them on to flower the following year.. only to find I didn't like them at all, having grown I think 'Magnus' previously, which was quite nice... This one, well it's green, and it twists..
ECHINACEA 'Green Twister' ..stiff dumpy plants... not for me..
@cooldoc Dusky Maiden was on its second flowering it had a more open for which I really prefer. The buds were simply amazing in their jewel like colours.

Indeed it is. My current favourite grass, but I prefer to see it as a clump.
I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
