  • I meant after looking at pottertons for anemones I'd grab some daffs and bluebells from there too.

    At a tangent, have you ever grown daylilies from seed? I fancy trying some from the Summer Wine daylily I got at East Ruston.

    I'd split it up, those cultivars don't come true from seed.

    Though they will come from seed if you want to give it a try

    I used The Bulb Company last autumn nut, which is also Gee Tee bulbs, and found the site very simple to use and they were very efficient with the delivery. I ordered in the region of 400 bulbs, mainly crocus and narcissus.

    I think they do the Wood Anemones as bulbs but I don't know how successful that is. I had them years ago but I bought them as plants.

    I've used GeeTee Fairy, they're fairly local to here.  I'd better start looking at the lists, nothing happens otherwiseimage

  • Ah, so that's why doesn't seem to be any daylily seed about,  I had thought maybe they were difficult. It's a bit too small to split so will have to wait a few years.  Got lovely seed pods though so will see if can germinate just for the fun of it,  See what I get....

    Shop around for Anemone nemorosa, you can buy them like Snowdrops by the 100 from various places.

    They do very well from roots (not bulbs) They look like thin brown sticks.

  • Ah, I assume that's what potterton are selling - 57p each.
