Default REQ: Anyone know of a good online source to buy heathers from in the UK ???

I'm after quite a few to act as ground cover plants and i'm hoping it

If you want quantity..have you thought of asking your local nursery for a
price for what you want,??

I've tried that .. they are not specialists in such things so tend to
import heathers etc .. Thusly the price is still not right

Kinda looking for around £1 a plant or less for 1 or 2 year old pot
grown winter heathers .. looking for around 60 to 100 ...

I've found a site on the web that does 500 plugs of heathers for £55

Go for it, they will make up fast at that size. esp. if you add peat into
the soil your planting in.

cheers dave, i think i'll give it a go. I've requested a free sample
from them so i can see what the quality of the plants are like but it
looks like a good buy ..

If you plant in clumps of 5 with about 3 inches between plants they will
quickly fill up the space between the plants, and should you loose a plant
or two it wont be to obvious.
