I know some body wrote a blog just recently about them and how their sale’s are going to be affected by them having a disease( downy mildew), so on reading my paper’s this weekend I noticed an offer for them,so I decided to find out more I rang the garden centre nearest home and spoke to a very nice man (involved in the greenhouse, growing? section) He was very nice and although the garden centre was aware of the disease they had still decided to stock them the plant’s are sprayed there and the if bought you just have to keep an eye on them.I was pleased with the response as I rang and got a return phone call all before 10 and it is a Sunday morning :-))

Thank,s Bilbobaggins I knew someone had wrote one but I could not find it, the Mirror and the Mail had the offer as well.I had not heard of this company but when I googled it there was some well known garden centre's listed. I have just found and read your blog and saved it on my favorite's so I dont lose it , some interesting comment's both about Busy Lizzie's and Fuchia's :-)

There was mention of this disease on the Kent Radio gardening programme this morning. They said many garden centres were not stocking busy lizzies this year apart from the larger New Guinea hybrids which are not affected.
