Very unusual, Karen. Is this a climber?

No WL . It's an autumn flowering perennial - grows to about 2' tall. You can get them in various colours, but mostly mottled like this and mostly shades of pink and white. Spritzhenry has a lovely white one. I grew these from seed so am really pleased with them. You could try the same. I sowed them in the spring and grew them on in the greenhouse until they were strong enough to sit outdoors in their pots. I finally planted them out in July. They like shade and moisture.

Thanks Karen. I don't have a greenhouse although I may have to get one of the really tiny freestanding ones (not much room for anything bigger) but failing that could I have them in the house until I can harden them up outside in readiness for planting in early summer? Lots of questions....new to all of this! lol

No, no problem wl, I'm sure that would work. They germinated very easily and with great success. I think there were 8 seeds and I have 8 plants! I put another pic on for you.....
