No, the plants are not weak at all. There just simply aren't enough of them to go around at the moment, and trade orders are still backlogged from last year.
However, new propagation attempts are proving successful, so a lot more plants should be available in 2006.

Hi

I'm based at The Potted Garden Nursery near Maidstone, Kent in the UK and have just received a fax stating that no Echinacea Razzmatazz are available for 2005 from Darwin! Is this plant particularly weak?
