I dont know Mookins? They haven't yet. Perhaps they should call them dyed heathers? ? ?

Mmmm...it may give the impression thay have died!!

its such a shame cos these are gorgeous colours, keep me posted on these cos if they keep the colour for along time I would like to purchase them

you picked some fab colours

Thanks Sweety, there was a question on how to recolour them and apparently its done with food colouring. They should keep their colour until the flowers die back and then next year they will come back as white or green, apparently.
