    I've placed an order too, in case the ones I have already don't survive - well, it's too good an offer to miss, really. They won't be sent until February, which is good.

    Hi Tiarella - if they are in an unheated greenhouse they almost certainly will get frosted away to nothing at some point over the winter, but they will come back in the spring when the light and weather improves. Perennials like to hibernate... :yawn:

    Mine arrived yesterday. You get a list with them as repeated by Nicp, but not a clue about which they are individually and they range quite a lot in height. But what do you expect for the price!

    The plastic bags they came in had what they were printed on them. Suppose that doesn't help now if you've planted them.......:heehee: Still, if you do have the bags you can at least see which ones you got.

      Did anyone have any of the Tree Peonies from the T+M offer a couple of years ago,£14.99 for 5 and that included postage,thought at that price I'd see what they were like,they were huge, I had room for 3 in the garden but couldn't decide where to put the other 2 so I put them in huge pots in the greenhouse, unfortunately with the cold winter we had I lost the 2 in the greenhouse,think the pots just froze for too long,but the other 3 are doing great new growth sprouting all over at the moment, also had some great clematis from their offers in mags were you just pay postage :dbgrtmb:

      Just noticed that some of my plants have quite substantial white sprouts on them some with green tips. Do I remove these before planting?

      I just left them on lakeside. They will either die or grow.
