    Hi,

    I know this is cheeky but I just wanted to ask if anyone has any spare seeds please. I'm after the following please:

    Garden Pinks (I've tried looking for these but couldn't find any anywhere [​IMG] )

    Lupins

    Cleome

    Thank you very much
    Tracy

    Where have you looked for the pinks, Tracy? In the catalogues they are going to be under Diascia.

    Not dianthus David?

    I thought pinks are usually sold in the form of cuttings. [​IMG]

    I cannot find any nice old fashioned style hollyhock seeds - the very plain, very tall ones. Has anyone about a dozen seeds to spare?
    After a year of workshop building and the consequent shambles of the garden I need to get a few underway to plant around the water butt in true (remembered ) style of the 30's and 40's. Can anybody help please? Eleagnus7

    Ethansmum - I can find some perennial seed. But not the ones you mentioned and no Hollyhocks unfortunatably. I have loads of Helenium Moorheim Beauty seed, which I think is a first class plant plus some others, Sidalcea, Astrantia etc.

    Send me a PM with your name and address.

    I have some Cleome and Hollyhocks seeds. Let me know if you'd like some.
    I would be interested in the Helenium, Peter.
