Mine have just opened this week,Cinders..this is their 2nd year,as they don't usually .flower the first year,do they?
Well,mine don't anyway..

Thanks Paul,I like them too.I grow them mainly to fill gaps in my long border at the front,but have got one or two in the back now,for a change..:o)

Oh well its the first year for mine, so maybe I won't get any flowers this year then.

Ah,thats probably it then,Cinders..they need to make their growth the first year..sorry..but you will have a lovely display next year :o)

So do I,6d..I usually cut the stems off and dry them in the shed,when they are ready,as the weather can spoil them,and leave them all marked and turning brown...

I'm glad Carole..they are such a pretty colour,and lots of flowers too..I love them..

Do you use them for flower decoration

10 Apr, 2011

 

Oh dear,Amy..isn't it annoying? I have done that a few times..do it now,they will have chance to grow before winter..you might have flowers next year,instead of the year after :o)

I don't pick the flowers 6d..is that what you mean? I only use them when I have dried them..
