Love this one its a very interesting plant ...

Mushy - I love these. They're so fragrant and fast growing.
If you want seeds, pm me. They'll be available Sept/Oct hopefully.

Thanks Meanie ... yeah, it's certainly gone a bit mad with those 3 stems ... and I can also see your going to get a flower very soon (mine has 4 little flower buds coming into life - I really, really hope they are dark purple). I can't wait to see how yours turns out in full bloom.

I have to say though - I think I may have touched your pet hate ... my packet of seeds said 'Mixed' haha. Although, I don't mind mind mixed for perenials - bring them on and terminate the colours we don't like.

Thanks again for taking the time to put up the picture :)

MrV - That was the third flower! Number four probably tonight. They're the pure white single form (the picture is on here) and prolific bloomers once they get going!

Meanie - I have to say, I do like prolific bloomers (fnar fnar). I can count four flower buds on mine this morning - I suppose they are about three-quarters of an inch long, and as I've never grown them before I have no idea how long they'll be 'til they open.

Just looked at your pictures of the open blooms - lovely :)

At a guess, depending on the weather and the ultimate size of the flower, you should have a flower in two, maybe three, weeks.
If you look, every time it sets a flower the stem splits, so do the maths as to how many flowers you may end up with.
I usually let one or two seed pods develop, starting with the third flower.

Thanks Meanie will pm you later ..:o))

Thanks for all these tips, Meanie. Really appreciate it.
