Yes they are bushy. They came in pots and I planted them out. They
spread
beautifully and gave a super display I love all daisy type flower

Hmmm. Want some short (about 10") Michaelmas daisies?

OH yes please))))))))))))

I will gladly pay for them

Send your address then - at this time of year the roots'll be OK in the post.

I am in Aberdeenshire btw.

Hmmm. Did a fish-handling course at the Torry Research Station. Had a
fiend up there somewhere too, Banchory, I think, whirlybird pilot, came
to grief in the North Sea. ¦-(

One more thing, I think I have some petunias in my garden, are they very
similar to the pansy? If so it is probably them that I got as a gift from a
member of family in the summer time, I actually got them in a hanging basket
style arrangement, and they have seeded everywhere in the garden.

Very pretty flowers )

But unhelpful to bees, I'm told. The seeds are hardy but IME the plants
are not.

Violas and pansies are lovely aren't they and they come in so many different
shades and colour combinations and they do flower for such a long time.

I've found that pansies get eaten by slugs but violas don't.

I bought some winter pansies by mail order this year as mini plug plants
and
potted them all up on arrival in individual small pots, but although they
have survived they haven't even developed a root system, let alone
flowered.

I take it then that I am not the only one who thinks mini plug plants are a
racket.

My slugs are less discerning. I lost practically all my pansies *and*
violas during a one week onslaught by an army of slugs.

Do report on their hardiness - they sound interesting.

I've found them fine for other things in the Spring, but these I got half
price from T & M, so it was probably at the end of their catalogue life. It
got quite cold after I planted them, I don't have a greenhouse, there was no
more room on the spare room window cill so they had to put up a fight in an
unheated garden shed. They are still alive, but not doing much.

On a dead HDD I have a long list of collective nouns. May be on a 5¼"
floppy too, but the 5¼" drive is in the box with the dead C:\drive...
