    Wow that very expensive 10.00 for a 3.5" pot. I couldn't do that.

    even with discount ,I'm with Lyn. Seems pricey for a 9cm pot. 

    God , I'm tight.image

    Look forward to hearing how it goes though.

    Tootles an interesting idea but will be away a couple of times in March so can't help image

    That's the way Hosta, got to be free postage or we can get them in Wyvale. It not that I'm tight, but there's not much point in putting one pot in a large garden, it just gets swapped by other plants, I need at least three, and that's pricey.

    Mmmmmmmmm it looks gorgeous, but this http://www.perennials.com/plants/lysimachia-atropurpurea-beaujolais.html says  'biennial or short lived perennial'. 

    That's a bit pricey for something that's not going to last and like Lyn, just one plant wouldn't make much impact in the bed we're going to create. 

    Think I'd rather order seeds.

    No - it's ok - he's fast asleep on the bed at the moment.

    No probs - it was only £4.95 though with the discount code.

    Thank you for discount code Tootles. Just bought myself a helinium Sahins early flowerer plant from Sarah Ravens . I've been wanting this lovely plant since I saw it at RHS Rosemoor last summer . It is a stunning plant in many different shades of gold and orange on the same plant.. I had not found it affordable anywhere so to find it under a fiver with free delivery was wonderful.
