    J Parkers had some deals on perrenials collections a few weeks ago. Not sure if they still have them though.

    Woo, just wondering, is a "collection" what you really want?

    I ask this purely because, I have seen "perennial collection" plants and almost all of those include foxglove (which is not something I need to introduce simply because of my chooks and quackers plus dog).

    For myself, I look at the "collections" and take what I want from them in terms of suggestions and discard the ones I don't want. Yes, that does mean buying things individually; but, at least I know I'm not introducing something which may (potentially!) be harmful to my pets.

    Just a thought, my friend.

      Collections will always have plants you don't want. Better to buy individual varieties in small pots or plugs. I think so anyway. Or buy bigger plants to split and grow on and these can be very good value then
