Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of any nurseries that have rare and unusual Asarums for sale.
Thanks Dan

What's a bacup show, or should that be backup? Ah, silly me, it must be Bacup? ::)

Rare plants has several, see http://rareplants.co.uk (http://rareplants.co.uk) though they are only dispatched until mid April, so you are in a hurry to order (this is mail order only). If you search for Asarum on their web page (instead of clicking on Asarum in the menu) you will find also the plants that are out of stock, with lots of amazing photos.

Thanks to all for info, rareplants, great site, lots of lovely plants tho the £135 one might be a bit out of our league.
Adarby, sorry, I did mean the Bacup show, sorry if i offended anyone for not using capitals, fab show. Scenery lovely and snow as well.

I am struggling to see Bacup as beautiful but then I do live in Chorley.I suppose Cliff looks at them with a photographers eye. Dan I did not realise you live near me in equally beautiful Leyland.I have some you may be interested in swapping,send me an email if you are interested

As Diane and I agreed recently .....we really need a 'smiley' to symbolise IRONY.

...'beautiful Bacup'...  :-X (possible symbol for irony)?

It has to be beautiful to me anyway, my darling Sue was born there!

Not sure if this is still newsworthy, but have you tried www.futureprimitiveplants.co.uk yet? They offer a small range of Asarum cultivars at affordable costs.
