And don't blame the garden centres or nurseries for offering plants in
flower, you try standing all day at a plant sale not selling you plants
which are green and watching a stream of customers carrying off inflower
foxgloves and see how long it takes you to figure that people want stuff
with flower on :~)

Oh I second that, from innumerable stints at NGS days ! They'd rather
have a load of some horrible fairly invasive herbaceous plants than wait
until a hoheria comes out or a special clematis etc.!
