You’ve twisted my arm, I’m going to eagerly hunt some of this Phlox down this weekend!

Absolutely - mine are in the ground and a couple of years old and have really filled out. They appear much “bluer” this year but it’s a bit shady where they are and they will then fade to a much softer paler blue with age - and thankful for something as the tulips go over and the bit hit of colour abates for a couple of months 💙💙💙

Is it flowering early for you Lucy?

I think so, Rachel. It’s my first time having it but from what I’ve seen online these are very early.

I would, but I have quite a full garden, and very empty bank account…. New (second hand) car….

This one will go by our Choza, where we sit.

Oh yes, I know that one (the new/second hand car, flat broke, want more plants budget) that was me last summer. It'll be worth every penny, though, I swear.

V, get a few. Or is it a 1 or 2 litre? If it's a 9cm, get a few more. I'm concerned you won't have enough.

It’s 1 litre. Should make a bit of a statement!

I think I have spotted your Lizard tulips lurking behind the phlox - they're magnificent!
