There isn't on the page, although there may be hidden somewhere else on the site. But even so, they're advertising the award of garden merit for something that most definitely didn't win it! ? The RHS website shows it has won an AGM http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=29 Janet Yes, I know 'Osakasuki' won it, but its offspring did not. Nor will they much resemble the plant that won the AGM. The reason to sell seed from this particular cultivar (as opposed to another) is that they germinate well (as well as regular A. palmatum ssp amoenum seed from which the cultivar was selected); less customer complaints. Of course it will take several years for the customer to realise that they didn't get what was advertised. -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
