Value or not?
today I received my order from Crocus....salvia Embers Wish. I expected a plug but what I received was teeny weenyness!
Potted on and it will grow away but at almost £ 10 it is far from good value. I rarely buy plug perennials but wanted this variety so........
in contrast, I have another salvia coming tomorrow in a 1 litre pot and free postage from Rectory Gardens for £ 6. 99. The way I almost always buy online.
Embers Wish will make a decent plant by mid summer....it is a fast grower ....but I doubt I will purchase such a small plant again for such an inflated price.

If it's like it's cousin S, Wendy's Wish, it'll grow and grow and grow - Wonky has one

10.00 for one or a tray?
Wow, that's not like you Verdun, I would certainly return it, ridiculous price for a mini plug.
for £10 I'd expect a very impressive plant. You can buy shrubs for less than £10 .
The plug was only 3.99 but the postage, way too high!!!
That's more like the Verdun we know and love
stand up for the rest
Go Verdun
Verdun, Wonky bought Wendy's Wish for about £1.50 ish, as an 8" tall plant - from the reduced counter at The Range 'cos it had dried out a bit. Now that's what I call a bargain
