Rocket fire is a bush the others are trailing.

None of them are hardy.

Mine came yesterday, but sadly all the growing tips were rotten, and most of the leaves had fallen off. I have planted them up, in hope they will shoot out, but I also emailed them, because they should know if their plants are being held up in the post and arriving in poor condition. It isn't good for business.

BS - I was wondering if your sad specimens had recovered - one of the three I received was very sad and has just a couple of rather dried out bits showing above ground. Just as you described - rotten in the centre - but did have a root system.

Do you think its worth holding on - if so how long would you reckon reasonable before just chucking out?

2 have tiny new shoots, the 3rd one isn't doing anything at the moment. I'll still give it a bit more time. I was really annoyed with myself though, I'd kept them in order, then was called away, came back and moved them without thinking, so I don't know which is which anyway.
I was surprised not to get an acknowledgement from Parkers for the email. I didn't expect any more, after all I hadn't paid, but some comment would have been good PR.
