Apart from Latin name and colour (if no photo) what sort of info
do people
think most important in a plant catalogue. I know it needs to be
informative but not too wordy, IMO!

Height and spread, and whether or not it's hardy would do for me.

Wonderful, David. You and Charlie have probably saved us a lot of time
and money.
Thank you to everyone else. Please keep the ideas/wants/needs/suggestions
coming. It's genuinely helpful.

I would keep it simple, Sacha, particularly at the start. I don't know
how others shop for plants, but I tend to look through my books, or see
a particular plant on a gardening programme, and then go looking for
someone to supply it.

Thanks, Anne. The overall consensus does seem to be tending towards simple
but sufficiently informative a to soil and position and later care. This
kind of confirms what we learn from customers in the nursery itself.
