Title: Witton Lane Seeds
Post by: Giles on January 12, 2009, 10:47:48 PM

I don't know if you know these folk, but they put out an odd mix of seed, and I've often picked up some nice things from them.
Their new list for January is out now. There are some Arisaema, Codonopsis and quite a few weird things that might interest forumists.
I've always had very prompt service and been very happy.

They've got Gladiolus palustris (but I can't remember who wanted that now!)

Thanks for the update, Giles I think I may have been one of those looking for the Gladiolus seed... can't really remember myself!  :-[

 I think quite a few forumists will know of Witton Seeds, we have had a link to their site from the links page for quite a while.. http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=links;cat=5
