Catananche

Wow. They are lovely. Mine finished flowering weeks ago.

There are only a few left, Toto - and maybe a couple of tatty ones on the white version!

very pretty barbara

They are REALLY easy to grow from seed, Sandra!

put them in my favourites, will look out for them, do they come back each year barbara

Yes. This plant is three years old. I bought it - then I grew a whole lot from seed....so much cheaper...:-))

thanx barbara :o)

From the packet, there were these mauve ones, and the white with a mauve centre. Equally attractive!

will look out for the seeds when im at garden centre ,

Good. I'm not sure when they have to be planted - but the packet will say.

thanx barbara, going bed now im beat, nite , sleep well

And you - so am I!! :-))

Gosh these are late! I wanted to collect seed from my plant.....came home one day only to find my dad had mowed the lawn and this plant was leaning over the lawn and he'd mowed off all the seed pods . TSK! lol

Oooops! Did you hug him...or hit him?? lol.

kicked 'im in the mower lol

Oooohhh!!! Painful! LOL.

like these very much Spritz...gone on my favs too...:>)

:-)

I like the way they open - single flowers to begin with, consessive petals open from the middle and the flower gets more and more double. When I bought mine, the lable (here we go again Barbara!) said it was a 'short-lived perennial'. I've had it years now!!

Well, I suppose it depends on what they mean by 'short-lived'!!! lol.
