    Until you get them ID'd, beware of buying plants from sellers using that image as the plants they sell may not be those featured, such as this example:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mixed-Winter-Hardy-Perennial-Plants/dp/B07BMYSVRJ

    "Plants featured range from Echinacea, Cornflower, Rudbeckia, Hardy Geraniums, Primulas plus many more."

    That list is incorrect, none of those flowers are in the image.

      Thanks for the tip @Scrungee I probably wouldn't buy them online and hoping someone can help ID so I can get them from a garden centre.
      Thanks

      One other point is that you probably wont get a display like that as most wont all be in flower at the same time.
      Its the kind of thing you see at the Chelsea flower show.
      False.:smile:
      Arrangement, is the right word for it.:biggrin:

        However the arrangement does contain kniphofia, Shasta daisy, Scabious, solidago, phlox, liatris, aconitus (I think)

              Plus GlobeThistles and Red Hot Pokers (I think)

              There's previously been speculation that these type of marketing images have been produced in Photoshop, not a flowerbed.

                Thanks for the reply folks. It looks like it is too good to be true.
                However at least I know what plants are in the picture if nothing else.

                Thanks
