Title: Geranium psilostemon
Post by: sion01 on August 30, 2011, 21:08

I've got some seeds for the above but I haven't got the patience.Has anybody seen a website that sells perennial plugs for a realistic price.I saw a catalogue yesterday that wanted £8 for a plug (but you did get the second one for a penny ::))

Crocus are reputable so I guess they are advertising accurately.

£8 a plug ????????????? Crikey - this time next year I could be a millionaire!!! You don't need much patience - just bung some in a plant pot of compost and cover very lightly, keep dampish and - voila!
