    First time I had heard that too. It sounded very extreme :scratch:

    Jumbo Plugs, not that that makes it THAT much better! But its a novelty, so the price reflects that, I expect they have limited stock at present, so will sell all they have at whatever price they choose. In a couple of years the price will have fallen to something more affordable ...

    Sorry spruce I don't know how big it gets. I grew a dwarf variety last year, it was only about 12" high.

    This is mine - A.psittacina

    Proven to be very hardy, and multiplies well too. Care as Marley described. My tubers are between 10 to 15cm deep.
