Default Dahlia imperialis?

Our 7cm pots in which we sell e.g. plants for hanging baskets have
been 75p for years and they fly out the door. Yesterday, I sold a
Dicksonia antarctica between 4 and 5' tall for £70. As a result of
this approach, we've had a good year where many nurseries and gcs are
complaining of poor sales - one wholesale Dianthus nursery is 30% down
on last year - and our customers return again and again, spreading the
word to others, too. We never have sales and if plants don't come up
to scratch, they're chucked out. It's a very simple approach but it
works and it's ethical which is important to everyone here.


Wouldn't you like to open a S Norfolk branch. ;-)
