Thank you Melnpaul, very moist area of the garden, so it should be happy. Just hope it dos`nt get as big as the one at Chatsworth.Hoping they will blend well as they grow into each other.

Hello Geordielad50
I am stealing your idea. Hope you dont mind. ; )
I am going to place mine in the gravel bed as i have mine in a large pot at present sat in a large tray where i water it daily.
Lets hope they blend together as that will be a pretty show to look forward too next year.

I believe they are sold as a "marginal"(hope thats right) but as I said I needed something for a very moist area in that corner. Just remembered thats where the end of the ground drain starts,so perhaps its not draining as well as I thought. Lucky for the plant. Saw the one at Chatsworth few weeks ago, must be two meters high and three across.

G.lad....are you using limestone chippings? It looks similar to the gravel I have in my front garden...

These are so pretty. I have a 4 ft one now but it never seems to get any larger than that.
