Petunia Bolero 28 Super Ready Plants | Super Jumbo Ready Plants
No garden suppliers able to post plants to France its regulations god knows why, just bought 4 Hydrangeas for 10 euro about the equivalent of £9 petunias and impatiants as a small plug plant are 50p each uk i was buying at £9 for 120 small plugs no wonder nearly everyone down here grows veg from seed, potatoes are more than likely to be decimated by colorado beetle luckily the soil is very fertile and fine everything grows like wildfire including the weeds
