That reminds me - I've got half-a-dozen to plant out. My first batch fell fowl to a slug - but, the slug fell fowl to me. I don't kill them - I just toss them into the middle of the lawn and let the sun or the birds to the rest. Nothing survives the middle of our lawn in the heat - not even the lawn!

Fantastic close-up!

They are one of my favourites, I do have a few doing well but not as advanced as yours yet!

Do yours seed themselves in strange places? I even had to pull some out of the middle of the path. :-((

indeed it is! They seem to like this as much as Buddleia. I've planted a few of the latter this year so as to make up for the lack of this tender beauty!
