Hi, does anyone know where I could buy bowles mauve online from a reputable company please. I am not able to get to a garden centre so need to buy online so any ideas will be welcome. Thanks
Even at the 'reduced' price that's extortionate! It grows so easily from cuttings that they don't even have to make an effort.
@harmony Is the problem that there isn't a garden centre or is it access? Could a friend or neighbour pick one up for you, they're usually readily available? Or could someone give you a cutting? I take a couple every year just to have a spare in case of disaster, or an additional plant or two.
If you're really stuck with getting to see and buy plants in person, l would be inclined to buy the smaller pot(s) size. Once they're established they grow really quickly and flower themselves to a standstill. As others have said they are very easy to propagate from cuttings, so once you have one plant you don't necessarily have to buy any more
I've ended up filling the gap ( where I wanted to put the bowles mauve ) with my bird bath which was hidden at the top of the garden. I think it looks good there and it won't run out of steam after a couple of years lol. I have a few nasturtiums left that I grew in pots so I am going to plant them around the base for the summer and then plant some spring bulbs around it later..

I saw some super strong plants recently in local place.
