salvia nemorosa Caradonna
At the weekend I asked about the blue salvia which Andy Sturgeon used
in his Chelsea garden. Dave and Paul both gave me the name and some very useful info, including, from Paul, a link to the Telegraph gardening web site which is selling it. Dave suggested hunting around garden centres for the plant but as I can no longer drive this would be difficult so I decided to order from the Telegraph. Plants were 6.99 each. I ordered 2, one for a friend's birthday. They arrived today. 2 excellent plants, about 2 feet high, with several flowering stems. They were packed in a tall cardboard box, kept upright, and in fine condition. It was worth the cost. Compare that with a pack of 24 (8x3) perennials, as plugs, from T&M. They arrived at 8am on Tuesday last week, just at the end of the very hot weather we had. They were just about cooked! They'd presumably been in a Royal Mail van the previous day. They were moist, but the tops were brown and dead. I've emailed T&M twice now, but only an automated reply. Pam in Bristol |
