Salvia collection URGENT
Sorry to shout! But yesterday a French couple from the ile de Brehat
came in looking for a massive list of Salvias. The nursery near here that has the national collection wouldn't 'admit' them as they put it, until April which, as they're only here for another week isn't helpful. We had a few they wanted but that was it. We had a Salvia involucrata 'Mulberry Wine' which is new and which they'd never heard of, so honour was satisfied! ;-)) I promised I'd ask this group if anyone else knows of a nursery with a large collection of Salvias, preferably in the SW of England or indeed anyone who would be willing to give them cuttings from their own collection? They're going to ring me on Thursday to see if I've had any luck, so I'd be very grateful if anyone with helpful info. could post here or email me asap. Another possible solution might be for anyone travelling from the SW to Britanny to take some over later on this year. Many thanks. -- Sacha |

From the map they showed me, they're staying in the SW. The real pity of it is that they even have a brand new Plant Finder which lists the nursery with the NC of Salvias being open from mid-March but ................. -- Sacha |

Its all very well thinking you can do something last summer but its something else when things go pear shaped in between especially as Easter is so much later this year than normal Its a real shame - but it will be great when everyone is one line including all the suppliers of wholesale and publications as well as the general public so one have more of a chance of adapting to circumstance in real time - nothing will every be 1q00 % but sometimes the timescales of publications defines belief -- Jill Bowis http://www.poultryscotland.co.uk http://www.henhouses.co.uk http://www.domesticducks.co.uk http://www.poultry-books.co.uk http://www.kintaline.co.uk/cottage Sacha |

Have you tried Hadspen House near Castle Cary in Somerset?? I believe that they have
several. Might be worth phoning them. Chris "Sacha" wrote in message om... | Sorry to shout! But yesterday a French couple from the ile de Brehat | came in looking for a massive list of Salvias.

In article ,

Whilst my two girls and I are off to the sun, my husband and grandson are off to our house in France over Easter. I would be prepared to get whatever they needed from a local nursery and Edward could meet them say at Calais? -- Judith Lea |
