they all look so different, which is the one most on here grow

[Deedee]

First and third are jack frost, the second is Brunnera macrophylla jack frost. wow they are pricey with P&P for small plants in 9cm pots. I split one of mine weeks ago and planted some in the front garden, ive just checked and have one left, ill send it to you, i allready have your address. Ill split again if you want more but it will take a few weeks before you get them..

they are all the same .... the leaves change during the seasons ...

ask the seller of these... what size pots they are in .... if they are 9cm pots or bigger, it may be your safest/best bet ...I have bought from this seller before and have received very good service

but depends on how many you need ... check this site.... they sell them in 3 litre pots and if you order a few, it may be cheaper on combined shipping, and you will be getting larger plants:

The second one looks like Dawsons White, which is not as vigorous. Nice plant, definitely recommend it, but I wouldn't be without Jack Frost. I don't believe that there would be any difference in the other two that are JF.

I would go with Dim's second idea.

Most of the plants I see for sale on ebay tend to be diddy little plug plants, whereas that shrubsdirect plant will be a big, strong one.

Arent these plants expensive tho, Once you have jack frost you will allways have jack frost, they are so easy to propogate, you just split them, stick some in a pot or pots and in a week or 2 they have took, they are that easy and they grow quickly..

[Mick C]

Once you have a reasonable sized plant you can start dividing it up - they develop quickly.


Edit - you type too quick for me Dee!

[Delboy]

Tbf a Very small plant will bulk up quickly. I want to plant a load of these out in the front garden so will split mine to save ££££

[Dave Brown]

Don't forget your Spotty Dottys

[cordyman]

I wouldnt even recognise this if it hit me in the face when small, i've always been on the lookout for these, but only ever scanned for large frosted leaves

Wow thanks Dee, one will be fine, if they grow so quick i'll be able to split in the future

Have lots of bare ground in my area I removed the canna's so I reckon jack frost would look perfect there

oh my, they go a treat together

[Delboy]

Cordy just remember to pinch out all the flowers to get the big leaves.

Spotty dotty is on my to buy list, has been for 2 years

[Deedee]
