Thank you 6d,I always look forward to them flowering..:o)
10 Apr, 2011
yes they are :):) Do you take cuttings and grow them in water ??
10 Apr, 2011
Thanks Paul..no,I just take some decent sized tips off,when they have finished flowering,and pot them up.I leave them somewhere shady,or in the cold frame,and plant them out in Autumn..I have never been successful with trying to root in water..

Looking very nice and bright, I have one that is flowering too, but I have let it get too leggy will be giving it the chop when the flowers have finished and take some cuttings like you ;0)

What a good idea. I've never liked the colour combinations you always get - much better to keep one you like.
