I bought some pink ones from Wilkinson's a few years ago. Here's a shot from my photo page on GoY

So did I but I wasnt convinced of the true 'pinkness'. anchorman, yours looked a lot pinker than mine.

MMmm I see the Daily Mirror has an offer of 10 bare root plants which they SAY are Pink..for about £5. Im wondering whether they are pink or mauve. Oh dear, what a tangled web...I really wanted pink for my pink border!

Bare root liatris at this time of year. I thought they grew from corms or maybe bulbs?

mine were definitely cormatous Anchorman.

Yes I Was pretty sure they were corms but it's several years since I bought some so I wasn't certain

Yes I noticed that, but just assumed they really meant corms. However I also see its a bit early yet..dont plant them til spring!
Im ALWAYS half cormatous SBG! lol!

sadly I'm nearly fully bulbous :o))

HEE HEE HEE...cormatous and bulbous..we are sure going to seed!

I'm sure you're bulbous in all the right places

Hello, and sorry for late reply, but ordered liatris pink from telegraph shop and they turned out pink, not purple or blue, so have ordered some more this year. Was double checking on soil conditions when your question on GOY came up.
