Farmer Gracy has a 'Perenial Weekend' where you can save 15% on your purchases, so I've sent for a white Astrantia Snow Star, Convalaria majalis Rosea, and Anemone leveillei couldn't stop myself !

Bought myself a named Pomegranate ('Dente di Cavallo') and a Calycanthus 'Venus'.
All the Pomegranate seedlings I grew from seed from a shop bought fruit last year have survived the winter with flying colours too, both those planted in the ground, and those in small pots even though frozen solid at times. Proof that they are very hardy!

That's interesting Fractal, I wonder how long you have to wait to get fruit & will they ripen in our weather?
