Yes these plants are a favourite of ours have been growing them for many years now.

Update - 2 have survived the weather & still look good!! I wonder if it's down to the fact that we haven't bought seeds for about 8 years, so maybe the gene line has toughened up, as I seem to recall the first hard frost was the death of them!!

Meanie you could be right, I see you are from Oxfordshire, should be colder there than here, so, will keep fingers crossed.

We love this plant, it's so understated.
Last year we had none, this year none, & then about six weeks ago they started popping up.
Out of a total of seven so far, we have six left, one having been pulled out by something.
It would be nice if a couple survived the winter.
