Ido like this plant it has great impact, I have it in my front garden but find it popping up everywhere. It also tends to mildew or is this because I`m doing something wrong.

Hi Stroller. We have had no trouble with it spreading (yet!) but we do remove the spikes when they die back because we understood that they will set seed very easily. Mildew has not been a problem.

It is a lovely plant in full bloom Cristina. But be careful - it bites!
MIne has not been as good as usual this year. Lack of rain in June & July probably, or it's having a rest!
Enjoy.
