Touchwood Aquilegia - she's not going to sell overseas online anymore.

flora ..... in the name that plant forum ... sometimes around here.. is the resident GB expert in my book ...

i would ask her .. since asking one who knows whats THERE.. might be easier.. than asking us HERE ...

where are you flora???

ken

I'm here. But I have no idea what isn't available in the US so I'm not much help either. Plus I don't actually buy many seeds or plants myself. My garden is probably smaller than your living room Ken. Campanula and Malorena probably know much more about this than I do as they are both big growers from seed.

I looked up the Touchwood woman. She is not selling overseas because she has got downy mildew and doesn't want to be responsible for exporting it. So maybe you shouldn't buy from her if you are taking seeds out of the country.

I can only recommend browsing the racks at any garden centres you pass and seeing what is there. Mail order offers a greater selection but how would you do that if you're travelling?

What countries are you visiting?

Thanks for the replies.

Floral, my intent was to visit and purchase at the local garden centers but am being told I have to have on the permit the names of the seeds I plan on purchasing...and that needs to be done at least 2 weeks before I leave the USA. ive scouted quite a few of the England based seed companies ( Thompson and Morgan etc) so have sorta an idea what's out there... Was hoping someone would have some 'must buy' suggestions from the awesome pics that find their way onto this forum. Sigh... I'll be a week each at Scotland , England , France , then Germany . .
