Thanks Brian, I took a cutting but found out "you can propagate them only from seed or from portions of the
root with growing points" Need to go find some seeds or a cutting with roots...

Gorgeous! What variety is it? Is it hardy? And where did you get it from? I need one: NOW!!

lol, you sound like me Geraniumdad!!! I took a cutting of this plant while taking a walk so I don't know anything about it. Sadly I found out that it can't be grown from a cutting ;o( only from stems that have roots and seeds.
I feel the need to take a walk that way soon.

With a large bag and a trowel!

lol...actually a little bag and a spade. Only need a small part. ;o)))))

They do spread quite quickly and they are really tough..thought I lost a red dwarf one couple of years ago and when we were digging over that bit of garden, we turned up some small tubers. I put them in a couple of pots..and they have both sprouted!!
Slugs and snails however, think the fresh new growth is caviar..so pellets are needed until they get about 6inches tall.

Oops hit the wrong button. This one is lovely Clarice, must try and track it down. Certainly not in my catalogue that I can remember.
