As Always my order from Darcy & Everest was excellent, the plants are always in great shape.
This Plant is one of our favourites, bit exotic and looks great .
I believe that my plans for the various Alpine areas of our garden will look great when i plant out the various plants i have bought over the winter months from Darcy & Everest. Cheers Steve & Bren
