Thats a wonderful variety. I love that edging. This is my favorite flower scent, I must have them every year.

Thanks... I planted the seeds in April - and only now has it flowered! Well worth the wait though, I thought :o)

Very impressive, growing from seed. :-) I haven't tried that, though I m familiar with the long wait for those first blooms. I've started to force with a bloomer fertilizer, since my season is just so short.

Well I planted lots of seeds but only three plants survived, I have two like the one in the picture and one pale pink one, but it hasn't fully opened. I'll be sure to post a pic when it does ;o)
