Thanks all. Welchonion, I don't feel ready to grow from bulbs much yet! I dont know how to keep the one plant i have over winter as to how to store ; - it mentions keeping them covered in soil- I'm NOT sticking them in my wardrobe-I have no shed! I have a flat with limited storage and a propensity to damp as it is by the canal and has dry wall rather than brick and plaster.
I am a buy a plant and stick it in ground or pot typa girl! I had a bad experience from one company where the plants arrived looking a bit the worse for wear as if they'd been kept in the cardboard box too long before despatch- they died on me, course i could have contacted the company, but i hadnt photographed them on arrival. They were Rudbeckia, or black eyed Susans. I WILL keep Parker and Nyssen in mind though. Gotta branch out sometime!
