I noticed they had Cotinus seeds but even if they germinate I reckon it would be at least five yeas before I got a sizeable plant? At my age, I am not sure I would still be here in five years to enjoy the plant, so along with other tree & shrub seeds, I gave them a miss!

(Yesterday, 02:45 PM)Veggie Wrote: Premier seeds - 10% off all seedsI was curious if they were doing the typical Black Friday thing of increasing prices before putting a discount on, so you don't actually save much (if any) money. The prices of the tomato seeds I bought in spring have all gone up by 10p per packet.

Thanks TMTT. I'm not surprised - don't trust any of these BF offers.

It looks like their prices will keep increasing year after year now it seems more like an investment for the new owners rather than a family owned company. And where are the DT/Fothergills £1 seed sales?!?!!
