I've had a few collections from them as it is an economical way to buy plants as long as you don't want special varieties. The best place to look is in the magazine offers. I bought my hellebores in the same way and I seem to remember they started flowering in their second year.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-4038111879691909362013-12-07T06:25:57.953+00:002013-12-07T06:25:57.953+00:00Lovely plants!

And it doesn't matter what color the blooms are, every single one of them is beautiful. And the blooms last for weeks! (though the color fades gently over time).<br />Have a beautiful week-end!<br />LeaLeahttp://www.leasmenagerie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
