Got illumination pink early by ordering just after Chelsea show. Got them in August I think and much cheaper than they are now.
They are in 2 litre pots and ready for plantIng out when the ideal spot is sorted.
I have high hopes for them....both for colour and for being truly perennial.
Will keep.dorum posted

Hiya Andy.
There have been good and bad reports on parkers and most other suppliers too. My experience is bulbs are good but perennials no.

Paperflowers,

Good plan to keep in pot for a while but take into account it's growing requirements.

Lovely combination is cotinus royal purple, eucalyptus and sambucus Sutherland gold. All coppiced and all producing wonderful dense colourful leaf colour all summer. Purple, blue amd yellow..all subtle amd all harmonious. Who needs fastidious acers?

Talkback: Creeping buttercup

Posted: 17/04/2013 at 18:24

Vigilance and persistence is the solution to buttercup.
Digging it thoroughly or spraying.
The worst possible place for,it is amongst hardy geranium as the leaves are similar and totally entwined. I dig up the geranium and pull apart and pot up clean pieces.
I have eradicated it from my garden this way but a friend, who is less persistent, has a real issue with it. Dig out every piece as soon as seen
