    Just placed an order , due to a 15% off offer , for some plug plants . Delivery is promised for the end of March. Ordered some Surfinia® plugs plus these two new to
    me.....
    Sunpatiens variegated . These are a type of New Guinea Impatiens. Good flowering from June until well into November

    Begonia Million Kisses Elegance . Now I grow trailing Begonias quite a lot . Tried the million kisses variety about 4 years ago without much success - not sure why - so fingers crossed for 2016 !

      Hi Harry,
      I grew the Impatiens variegated this year and although it grew well the flowers turned to a wishy washy pink and now the whole plant has just collapsed on me :(

        Hope mine does OK Anthony . I do like Sunpatien New guineas . And if yours has collapsed at the end of November you have done really well.
        One reason for this thread is I could do with a shot of inspiration/new plant ideas for 2016 . From seeds or plugs. So any ideas to share put em on here !:hapfeet:
