It is funny that only now they've come into their own! I'd crossed them off the list for next year!

I'd never heard of them until this year - then I ordered a pack to try with my plugplants which go in my containers! Strange name...I wonder who James B. was?

ive tried looking the name up barbara and nothing coming up not even the plant, strange,

I'm trying to think which supplier I got them from...possibly Dobies, I think. I wonder if they gave a common name or something? They don't usually, though. When I get back from church, I'll find the catalogue.

They're from South Africa, Sanbas - have a look at:

Definitely back on the list, Spritz - lovely late colour. Says it's a woody perennial so may be worth trying to keep overwinter in the greenhouse.
