Have you had a reply yet from T&M? I now have growing (hah!) misgivings around T&M. They are very late on an order of mine and I have heard nothing. They haven't even replied to my 2 emails requesting an update (despite them sending me almost daily emails of offers). The customer is far from the centre of their customer service team.
Still no sign of my illumination pink from last year. If it's not showing any sign of life by the end of may it's coming out, and some more normal foxgloves are going in it's place.
Might have been the bad wet winter, but it's clearly not reliably hardy in standard foxglove possitions.
Makes you wonder how much testing is done for the chelsea "plant of the year" award.
I bought two lots of these, one for me and one for my mother. I overwintered them in my greenhouse and planted them out about 3 weeks ago. They are beginnng to grow and are looking quite healthy. Any problems with Thompson and Morgan that I have had have been sorted out to my satisfaction.
Still waiting for the perennial Digitalis I ordered in December, should have been delivered in April, cost £24.93 from T & M. I think I am going to ask for a refund; I need to fill the spaces that I left for them.

Hi Pete,

I'm glad I just let them go by. Give me something I can rely on.

Was about to go for the illumination pink from T & M but won't. Thanks for the warnings!
Mmmm I was looking through plant catalogues and thinking wow! Perennial foxgloves, I must have it when I came across this post.
The crocus site also says that these are not reliable, so I won't bother. You can't beat ordinary foxgloves anyway.
Someone may have already posted this link but I'm going to again as it's quite interesting and I'll be buying foxgloves in pots in a month or two
