The LFS where I usually get my fish are hopeless for plants - they're not even marked with their names. When I asked an assistant how tall one particular plant would get (I think it was a Ludwigia) he mumbled something about thinking it wouldn't get much bigger than it was. THen he also said the same thing about some Vallis......

Anyway, can anyone in the Solent area recommend a LFS that does have the faintest idea about plants and has a decent range.

Go on ebay I got 60 plants for 13 pound. Really good ones being delivered tomorrow!

So much cheaper than the stores.
 
Whilst eBay is okay. You don't get too see the plants you buy which is always a negative. Whilst I have bought plants from eBay and been happy i've also suffered from poor quality plants aswell. So it's always a bit riskier.

As for the original questions, im afraid I can't answer as I'm not from that area.

Aquajardin in Allington Lane, Fairoak, is not bad for plants (they recently added the Tropica range). Sam (manager) and Dave know their plants well.
