    I saw Rebecca at the Malvern Spring Show last year, but I couldn't take plants back to France on Ryanair. I've searched for it when we went by car and I've searched here in France. No luck image

    What sort of red would you describe Rebecca as.  Checked on internet and it comes up with everything from bright red to dark burgundy.

     

    I'm sorry to hear that BL. I got mine from Taylors 

    Yvie,  Fairy is right ofc, It's best in a sheltered area, out of harsh sunlight. Let me go look for a good photo from my collection,  brb image

     It begins true red but fades with a magenta stripe ,although at a distance will still appear red. Don't plant in sun baked area image

     This is the Rebecca that I saw at the Malvern Show, but it was in the marquee, lit by electric light. I would call it bright crimson. The flowers were huge, photo doesn't do it justice.

    Thanks for the tip, Wintersong. The place I was thinking of is in the sun. need to re-think. I wonder if Taylor's deliver to France? Will have a look.

    Hi BL, I was looking at Taylor's delivery to France also but the prices are prohibitive! They are asking more for delivery than the plant!

    Hayloft plants deliver over here but they don't have C Rebecca. Very difficult to find good range of plants over here especially down where I am.

    Hello floralies. I see you live a lot further south than me, in the Spain direction. I'm in Dordogne, near Périgueux. I didn't know Hayloft delivered here. Have you seen the Promesses des Fleurs site? The plants I ordered were OK.

    I use another French site for plug plants which arrive in good condition.
