    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    As is often the way, I am finding, there are no onward potting instructions image So. . . . do I pot on or plant out? They are helibores in 9cm pots. Don't want to mess these little beauties up!

    Thanks Verd. Will update varieties when I get home image

    So, am back from Guides. Luckily I kept the magazine I ordered them from image On your advice though I think they might have told a little fib in their advert . . . apparently they are 'garden ready potted plants'! 

    I have 3 doubles, Peppermint Ice, Onyx Odyssey and Sparkling Diamond (dark pink, nearly black and white) and 3 'free' singles, Golden Sunrise, Painted and Cherry Blossom (greeny pink, purple and white, and darkish pink).

    I will hunt through my pot collection for 1 litre pots - must have some! image

    I'm not keen on the black one, but then I don't like black flowers in general, but i love the others.

    Thanks Fidget. Looks like I'm going to have to be patient for them image Still the pleasure is in the waiting image
