'Pink Princess' - or probably 'Mollie Gould'

that's simple and yet beautiful!

Yes - I agree!!...and I'd love to see the others again...sob, sob.

They are so lovely because of the simplicity I think.
I must admit to being on the look out for as pure a white one as I can find.

What an incredible pink...this is gorgeous, no wonder you are upset if you have lost some.... :~(((

that's a really pretty one, funny now you come to mention it, I haven't seen any of mine yet :-(( I thought they were hardy?

I did too, G. Maybe we're wrong - or maybe they're v.v.v.late?? I do love them, Flori - I think I may have to replace them if they really have vanished.

Meanie - one of the missing ones was white....:-(((((

I've got to go and investigate today now, it's got me wondering LOL

Please let me know if yours have vanished as well, G!

its beautiful!

Thanks, Floral. I wonder whether Grindle's found hers yet? lol

whoops sorry Spritz, been busy will try to remember today ;-)

Beautiful :o)

Thanks. :-))

Good luck, Grindle!

Hi Spritz, I have just begun browsing your photos and came across this pic. I have the warm pink - Mrs Hegarty I think! - and the very pale pink, Princess something. Its too late to go out and look at the labels. Will do tomorrow. Anyway, I have a spare or two in the garden of the warm pink and have to split the pale pink after it has finished flowering. Will let you have them if you wish. I saw a beautiful red one..mmm I think it was at Burton Agnes..no just checked my pics. Heligan kitchen gardens. Called Cardinal. Havent been able to track it down yet. I guess you announce you open garden day so I will be there next year!

I would love some! Thanks very much. Give me a yell when you do split them. :-)))))))

I can tell you the dates for next year - Thursdays June 2nd and 9th, 2 - 5.30. We have to send the paperwork off really early!

Must have been half asleep last night. Pink Princess, such a pale pale pink almost white. This one I have. Dont think its the one in your picture..that is too pink. The other was supposed to be Major, according to label, but its nowhere near red, just a lovely warm pink. Will take a pic, make sure colour is true then post it..could be Prof. Barnard..but surely someone will know. Mine are doing splendidly, the greenery stays almost all year!

I used to have 'Fenland Dawn', but I thought that was lighter, too. Hmmm...what was the other one called....it should be in my plant list - I'll have to check.

Nope !!! no sign of them or in mum's garden either :-((( I thought they were hardy

Oh dear. I did, too, but obviously not! :-(((

I like this one Spritz, I have two big clumps of red/deep pink ones don`t know the name they were given to me a couple of years back, Very prolific flowerers.

Could be 'Major' - that's red. You're lucky that 'yours' haven't vanished! :-)))

No they haven`t vanished in fact they are better than last year.

That's good - there have been too many disappearances already! ;-))))

Just been trolling the net for schitzostylis and cam across Mollie Gould..looks just like your picture with darker pink streaks on petals

Could be - thanks! I'd better edit the photo, then! :-)

I had an interesting chat with a nurseryman at the NCCPG yesterday, and although they are hardy, and like a damp soil, they don't like to be sitting in freezing wet soil for any length of time, so this seems to be why mine didn't appear again this year. I bought another one and am going to plant it in a drier place this time in the hope it will grow and survive.

Funny you should say that, though I have 3 smaller clumps, the largest and best are under shelter of a wall, where soil is nearly always dry and gets early morning sun. It has spread quite a bit there too. Plants are funny things.

That can't be the reason why mine have vanished, though - they were in the front garden in sun, and that area doesn't get too wet???

Plants are indeed funny things, T.

Good luck with your new one, G.
