    Sounds lovely, and not too expensive considering you get 10 plants for just £40! :yes: I wonder if this would naturalise easily into my lawn? ;)

    • Perennial. A golden blaze of colour in the May meadows and banks. Flowers composed of bright yellow ray-florets.
    • Flowers: April - June

          Dandelions do not grow here, at least not in the south, maybe we are too dry. I have seen seeds for sale along with normal garden plants but I think they were in the veggie/herb section.

            On my way to work I pass an area known as Yalding Lees, it's basically an area that tends to flood in winter.
            I've got to admit in spring it is a massive blaze of colour, with what is just Dandelions.:smile:

            But I dont think I'd spend 40 quid on them.

              It's a Dandy of a plant, but I think they're re-lioning on people not worrying :dunno::heehee:about the price

                How much is it costing you in fuel to drive past them twice a day? :whistle:

                    Good grief I've just thrown £40s worth of plants on the compost heap.

                      @Selleri I can sell you 20 of these for £39.99 if you would like them - and yes, they will naturalise into any lawn!

                        Yes, but you get to see hundreds of pounds worth for free! Think of those poor souls who don't get to enjoy the same view as you :heehee:

                          One spring I was visiting Westonbirt arboretume and I looked out over a gate to a field full of dandelion "clocks" and as the breeze blew a whole cloud of white took off, beautiful.
                          Must have been thousands of pounds worth in that field.

                              I knew the time had come for an eye test when what I took to be a field full of mushrooms turned out to be dandelion clocks :doh: A crushing disappointment until I thought about the consequences of living near a field like that!
