Hi all,

Can anyone recommend any VFTs for a bog pot in the uk? I'd like to put a couple in my new pot.

Just get a bunch of different looking typicals. They'll be fine, and look good too.

An all red cultivar in with some typicals would make a nice contrast but they do grow a good bit slower

Cool. I find where I can get one from.

Good idea. I'll add a red.

Thanks to you both!

Most garden centers will sell VFTs (B&Q are probably the cheapest!). Or you could try here.

Definately look in the sales and wants.

I think I remember seeing a few people offering VFTs at reasonable prices...
