In the Autumn Avon Bulbs sell an allium collection, they only show te stock for each season at the right time so it won't be there at present.

Hope this helps, Dan :-)

I want a mixture of alliums, some small, and some larger globe types, globemaster and christophii are names that ring a bell.

The hostas i prefer are the deep green and blueish colours.  I bought a good selection for a previous garden, but had to move and couldnt take them all with me

Hi there

Funny enough I saw a pretty decent collection at ASDA this week-end.  They seem to have these boxed selections of all kinds of things e.g. Perennials, Lilly's, Hosta's etc.

The price also was not too bad.
If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning....
