Thank you Raj. This is the first of two I have had. Always seem to go about 18-22 months old. Sold more for the foliage, I love the bloom color as well.

What's it planted in GT?

Looking through others pics, I'm beginning to think about sourcing 'old' objects/pots to plant and dot them around the garden in the border under the conifers etc and maybe on the decking.

Ali has suggested visiting a local reclamation yard when she's fully recovered so looks like the way forward...

I love using old things. This is an old kettle I found in an old homestead rubbish pile. I love the aluminums silver with the leaves.

Took inspiration from you GT and visited a reclamation yard yesterday. Bought a copper coal scuttle and an old chimney pot. Already planted the scuttle with Butterfly Lavender - as seen on my pics - and will be looking for something to go in the chimney pot over the next week or so!

Thanks for the inspirational pics mate! :0)

The foliage is so very attractive on this plant. Kinda makes a bloom seem insignificant.

They are known for the foliage, not much attention to the flower. Makes a good houseplant.
