Hardy Tropicals UK

I'm thinking of buying some plants from there mail order (online).

Don't know if they are good choices or not. Anyone tried the following?

Asclepias curassavica
Justicia Rizzinii

I know someone who used to grow Justicia rezinii around here, but his garden was an exemplary micro-climate, I don't think Justicia will survive most places to be honest. Same with Asclepias, but it's worth a go? Both lovely plants by the way. Justicia could be grown in a pot though?

I think I'm going to try growing the Asclepias curassavica from seed, but going to give the Justicia Rizzinii a go.

have you ever visited the nursery? its full of unusual oddities

Never been. Don't travel to Cornwall very often. Looks like a very interesting nursery.

It is a good nursery, lots of unusual goodies. I love it there and will take some pics when I visit later in the spring.

unless your a NT member....

we joined this year Dave as it was cheaper to do that than paying everytime we went anywhere down there. didnt realise parking was free though.

Gets you free parking at godrevy too red

we stay at gwithian towans on the furthest end of the road and walk across the beach there to get an ice cream
long walk back down the road if the point gets cut off but the dogs love it
