Thanks blairs...do any types of the Nerium have orange bits? My gf likes bright oranges and reds and things. How long might this plant last and what is the price range do you think?
Sorry Ben, i meant jungle plants.com, i think they are also jungle seeds.com, yes it is a perennial, my mom puts hers outside in the milder weather then brings it into the conservatory for winter, it grows very well so it could be split each year and a little taken indoors to overwinter to save space.
It dosent have to be the website ive suggested, thats just one that ive used , there will be specialist places all over.
Oleander come in many colours - Orange being one of the most difficult ones to buy in the UK. The cream/yellow ones can be nearly orange. You are most likely to find them in a GC than online.
If you are after orange flowers then Azalea or Rhododendrons would be a better bet to be able to source for this weekend.
Ben, just been having a look online, found a site called butterfly jungles, looks exactly what your after! I can copy but not paste! If you cant find it, send me a pm with your email and i will email the link or page to you
Welcome Ben, I don't know what part of London you are in, but Clifton Nurseries in Maida Vale, Petersham Nursery in Sheen area or the one next to Turnham Green Tube Station would all have a selection of plants and pots; if weight is an issue, suggest that you get a plastic/fibreglass pot, they can look really good these days. If you make too specific a choice right now, you may run the risk of not being able to get it by Saturday.
Don't know many nurseries in London, but OH and I used to walk past Worlds End Nursery in Chelsea and frequently took a detour inside and were very impressed by the range of plants - I guess that if you contacted them for advice they'd have something that your girlfriend would really love http://www.worldsendnurseries.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=59
Good luck
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Petersham Nursery used to have a seriously classy restaurant - they may still have one; you could take her there and before dining she could choose her plant and pot.
