I do love this plant....I only managed to get a year out of mine and then it disappeared and I never saw it again!

I have a few of these in the garden and i know they like a damp area, maybe your ground was too dry Bscott?.....I have a 'B of Llandaff' ,just beyond it Janey colours are very similar....:>)....Thanks for your nice comments Milky and Wagger.....:>)

Yes, it could have been too dry, Motintot, next time I'll give it a damper spot - shouldn't be too difficult to find up here! Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go next year, it's such a lovely plant.

Hi motinot, the contrast in colour is lovely. I got a couple of similar plants this year (fan scarlett). What do you do with them over the winter?
