I got 3 from Hayloft plants in the summertime. 1 died but the other 2 are doing well. I first planted them in mp compost with perlite added, just less than half and half as I was running out.
I potted them on yesterday and they're healthy plants with good roots. I'll overwinter them in my growhouse and plant them out in sprintime as our winters would be too wet for them.
Good luck finding some. Verdun that arrangement is great.
Spoke to the chap at hardys nursery stall at RHS Wisley today as he didn't have any wild swan on the stall but he did have a couple of others swan ruffle and another one. They no longer do them and he admitted they lost quite a few this year as well. He said crocus have them and they are / should be good plants ( woohoo crocus open day Saturday!) he said that they habe had some returned and he thinks that they are v probe to root rot from overwatering ..
Crocus, ordered 9 Echiacea plants from them this spring, they were not cheap, total rubbish, in sodden wet compost, all failed to grow, they didn't want to know, got most of my money back, less carriage, gave up in the end, but never again from them!
Up to a couple of years ago I used to get wonderful plants no matter who I ordered from, now I dread opening the packaging when I have plants delivered as they are usually rubbish, with one exception, Jersey Plants Direct, they are usually excellent!

Now that's what I CALL a plant, well done!
Update on my T&M Wild Swan plants,they passed away never to be seen again!
Also none of the local garden centres have had any,the usual whites or pinks, nice plants but not Wild Swan!
Ps, I have not been tempted to order from T&M again even though they sent me a £5 gift voucher a few weeks ago!
Cheers!

I gave up ordering from T&M years ago after a truly appalling experience... they lost a good customer.
Why can't I get layering like that!!! Verdun that looks amazing
