Firstly I'm a little wary of posting in here Rolling Eyes Laughing

But I have recently been sent a surplus seed list from the RHS. Terrific I thought, will just look up a few things in books that I have ...

... was I able to ??? was I hell ... think my books are all out of date Confused I know there has been a huge move to rename plants as they should be named etc. but think there must be millions more plants available now too.

So ... what I want to know is .... and as Christmas is coming ...

.... what book should I be looking for ?????????????? Confused

Yes the plant finder, it still is about 2 years out of date, as it takes the committee that long to talk about stuff. Then as double check ask one of us guys ..that's what we here for.

The NCCPG seeks to conserve, document, promote and make available Britain and Ireland's great biodiversity of garden plants for the benefit of horticulture, education and science.
