Re: Sheffield mum
Thanks for the additional information on the mum and violet, Doug.
I am not researching for the nursery inventory. Everyone and their grandmother
has field dug mums, along with the local discount stores, garden centers, local
greenhouses. I'll pass on getting into that one.However, nothing to prevent my
partner from having something nice in her raised beds.
