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.

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.
