        I bought three varieties from there earlier this year and was very happy with the service :blue thumb:

        They do have a good selection and the plants were well packaged when dispatched.

          Hopefully, they will all survive through the winter now, and then thrive for me next year :)

                Was in a Garden centre yesterday and came across this stunning fuchsias .

                I should have bought it but thought another 1 to overwinter.

                It was called Mandarin Cream and it really was the orange colour of mandarins.

                Well my order of 4 fuchsias arrived today (5 days after placing the order), very well packaged and good healthy rooted cuttings too, one of which was much larger than I expected too...

                The parcel :dancy:

                Very happy with the service provided by this company and I will definitely be ordering from them again, there are some more species fuchsias I liked but they were out of stock and then there's those Brugs....hmmmmmmm could I find room for them over winter :snork::dbgrtmb:​

                  Just checked their website and seen this announcement;

                  "We have temporarily suspended the shopping cart facility as we are currently busy preparing an updated website with over 230 additional fuchsia cultivars, this will roughly double the number of fuchsias we offer and will be uploaded by mid-October. There will be additional Salvias also."

                  Looks like I better behave myself with my pennies soon :heehee::lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                      My fuchsias are all now in my Greenhouse behind glass and have also started to move them and my geraniums in to my Conservatory which in winter is my Sittootery.

                        Thank you Scotkat - I've had a couple of rough days at work, and been feeling a bit homesick, so when I got the email notification of your post and saw your description of your conservatory..... well, it really made me grin :biggrin:

                        Sittootery - got to be one of the best words I've heard in ages, and I may well borrow it if its ok with you?

                          Thanks :)

                          I heard it was a dreich day up there today; my mum flew down from Edinburgh this morning, and is at my cousins on the south coast at the moment - I reckon she'll feel a difference this next couple of days as its still reasonably bright and warm here. Going to chuck it down on Sunday though, not that I care as I intend on turning into an alcoholic for the day....... :snork:
