Hydrangeas

[Giacomelli]

Went to the Dulwich Gardening Centre to buy some and they didn't have any. Has anyone seen them around to buy?

Many thanks,

It's a bit early for them other than online. SHould be able to get them from May or so.

Garden centres, especially small ones, tend to have stuff on sale only when it's flowering.

My climbing hydrangea is in bud (Hydrangea petiolaris) but I guess you mean the common pink and blue ones?

Thanks all for your posts. I am from Scotland and they are usually on sale from now up there, lived here for 4 years, but first year here with a garden. - but I guess it is the small garden centre thing. Might get them online instead.

Sainsbury's DKH on the left as you walk through the main doors.

I wouldn't recommend the Sainsbury's ones. They don't last well.

I love that one too.

(hydrangea petiolaris)

My neighbour has one growing up the side of her house. I'd never seen it before.

I have the classic purple-blue "Granny Hat" version in my garden, which if kept under control is very pleasant, in a "Bungalow in Eastbourne" kind of way

If you're buying a lot of plants & want to buy any at trade prices then try this place, it's amazingly good. They've a huge selection of tree's, shrubs, plants and herbs

(herbs are also available to pre-order in mixed or single 8's)

It is generally for those "in-the-trade" as it were, but if you can:

Look the part

Walk in with confidence

Know that prices are the last digits on the barcode/plant label, then you'll be okay.

There's not a formal check as such and hey, cash is king in my view.
