another order for plants!

Those will be lovely in your garden.
It must have been a struggle to resist ordering more. :o)

Sounds very nice. I would expect Pulsatillas to be at least a couple of pounds each in garden centres.

I've had quite a few things from J Parckers and they do have some brill offers and good free plants with every order.

Great invention, ordering on the net, isn't it. Well done - I hope they arrive soon. Those Alliums look wonderful, by the way! Do you know what species they are?

I like parkers too, I have some great plants over the years. one order of lilies arrived stuffed into too small a box and a good 60% were damaged. I rang to air my concerns and they sent me replacements for the damaged ones plus 25 free daffs and 25 free tulips. they also told me to plant the damaged ones as they would probably grown and flower next year. I did know this but expected Parkers to ask for their return. I have also found VanMeuwen a good company to deal with.

Lovely vibrant Alliums.

I love pulsatillas. I couldn't grow them in the other garden but I hope to try here. Maybe I'll try and order them from J Parker Bulbs. I hope you're satisfied with your order.

Spritzhenry they are Sensation, the seed heads are lovely too i leave them, look on my photos the first ones i put on and theres a photo on there of the seed heads.

I have also dealt with VanMeuwen too Seaburngirl, they have offers too and plants are well packaged.

have never grown pulsatillas Hywel and Bulbaholic so looking forward to seein what they are like i presume they are a summer bulb?

They're not bulbs. They flower in the spring. They're lovely spring flowers. I think you'll like them.

Are you familiar with the name Pasque Flower? That is the same plant.
I am going to Dunblane tomorrow for a club bulb show and lecture day. It will be great to meet old friends after the winter lay off. The only trouble is that there will be about eight plant sales tables in the hall £££££££. I definitely won't get six for £7!

Hi Sewingkilla, do I understand that the pulsatilla are still lying around? They are a tap rooted plant and should be planted as soon as possible - don't let them dry out. They will make a bushy plant about a eighteen inches high and across and then they die right back in autumn. You should tidy the dead foliage up in winter ready for next years growth. Good luck.

oh i see, yes have heard of Pasque flowes thanks for that Hywel and Bulbaholic,
Put a padlock on your wallet bulbaholic LOL!!

Haven't got them yet bulbaholic, only put the order in yesterday but thanks for the info, would they be happy in shade?

They would prefer a sunny site but will tolerate partial shade. Preferably not deep shade.

Oh Swngk....those alliums are gorgeous. Such a vivid purple colour. Love it.
You did do well with your purchases. What a great deal. 3 roses for the price of postage?? Wish I could find some deals like that here.

Hi Sk, I gave in an ordered some more from JParkers when I saw the email. By just looking at the latest offers, I've spent £15 inc P&P and should receive about 30 plants, including the 3 free roses, 6 pusatillas and two shrubs! Amazing value for money. In fact I think the plant that cost the most is a Deutzia 'Strawberry Fields' for £2.45!
I just can't wait for them to arrive now.

Glad you found it useful Reebeesfleurs(phew thats a name and a half LOL) hope you are happy with them when they arrive, i've never been disappointed yet!
