      hemerocallis little grapette few clumps

      I'd love to swap you a bit of the perovskia blue spires graham, I'm nowhere near you though but could post, I have some nice size plants of Lobelia Tupa, and quite a few daylily divisions 'Innerview', 'Big Bird', 'Canadian Border Patrol' 'Siloam Show Girl', 'Windmill', 'Nile Crane' 'Long Stocking' 'Wisest of Wizards' and some young plants of (grown last autumn) Jasione 'Blue Lights'.

        Graham, I live near Hastings but can get to Tunbridge Wells reasonably easily. If you're interested, we're digging up a lot of Japanese anemones and would be happy to swap those.
