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
Potted up all mums plants what were in plastic bags from GC, I been telling her to pot up for the past 10+ days, so are a bit bent now looking for light
Up most of last night planning / thinking planting up next border. Good job nobody living next door at the moment, they be thinking I am a nutter going out into back garden well past midnight muttering to myself
Finally ordered plants today, particularly looking forward to having a look at Astrantia hadspen blood
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.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
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.

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

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.

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