Special Offers

They certainly are tiny!
Oh well - ever the optimist.
What a waiting game this has been - waiting for them to arrive - and an even longer wait for them to flower.

Yes, I naively assumed that the "special offer" was because they had surplus unsold plants they wanted to shift. But in fact these plugs have been grown to order, perhaps from seeds left over from packeting up.
Still, most of them came through the post OK and I've now put them into a 24-cell module tray in the cold frame to grow on. Just a couple of Doronicums might not make it.

While I'm having a moan, I wish suppliers would put the species name on as well as the varietal one. It gives us growers a better handle on how to treat them. I think mine are Salvia nemorosa, Echinacea purpurea, Doronicum caucasicum and Coreopsis grandiflora. Time will tell!

How are the minuscule plantlets doing, Martin?
Mine are still sitting in the little modules I planted them in.
