    Sorry l can't really help with those suppliers. Would you consider using plug plants ?
    Brookside do a good selection.

    I am trying out Gardeners' Dream. New to me but has good reviews and the virtue of offering "free delivery" across the UK. The delivery isn't "free", of course, it's included in the higher prices, but I like knowing up front what the online cost will be rather than coming in for a shock at the end. They have wallflowers and violas. Plus they have (gray) recyclable pots and trays, which is a good thing. I wouldn't think of recycling pots as they will always come in handy for someone somewhere, but good news away. I have no car, and live in the arse end of nowhere, so good online delivery is a total godsend.

    They’ve got some unusual plants and unusual varieties of “usual” plants such as Heuchera.  I’d be interested to hear what you think after your plants have been delivered.
