    I haven't ordered from them yet, but I think I might since they have the single hollyhocks that I want. They have been around for a long time, the link has been in my bookmarks for close to 5 years and have been forgetting about it.
    Thought I would offer the website in case anyone was interested.

    I've e.mailed them to see if they'd be willing to ship plants to the UK and how much it would cost. Thanks for the link Toni. :-D What a great idea btw someone over here should do the same thing.

    Deanna, did you get your order from Free Trees and Plants.com yet?

    Eileen, are they going to mail to you?

    I am putting an order in the mail today for Scarlet Bee Balm, Blue Globe Thistle, Hollyhocks and Goatsbeard.

    Toni,
    I haven't seen my columbines yet. I figured they might be waiting till the proper planting time. We have had snow, rain and more snow this week :-x
    I'll let you know when they come in. They were charged to my credit card this month.

    :-D

    Sadly they don't post out plants to Scotland. :( Actually I didn't really expect them to but I thought they may have had the appropriate export licences.
    I think it's about time someone over here started the same type of scheme.

    When you ordered, you actually reserved the plants. They put us on a waiting list and when the plants come available they fill the orders then, so it may take a while. Next year I will be reserving mine much earlier than I did this year.
