I have tried at the big gardening shows but no luck. I think there's only one person left growing pinks in Dawlish, which used to be a big centre for those. I'll ring her later today and ask if she still does it, or if she knows someone who does. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

I emailed Whetman & Sons and they're contacting John Whetman to see if he knows anyone still doing this plant. Unhappily, it's not in the Plant Finder, so I'm not optimistic, I'm afraid. It might be a good idea to find some National Collection Holders and ask them. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |
