Lots of the reduced veg were in the Bargain basement packs I bought a couple of weeks ago - and they sold out of very quickly!I've always wanted a purple or green Cotinus (Smoke bush) but the plants are too epensive methinks? I noticed they had Cotinus seeds but even if they germinate I reckon it would be at least five yeas before I got a sizeable plant? At my age, I am not sure I would still be here in five years to enjoy the plant, so along with other tree & shrub seeds, I gave them a miss!![]()
