Mine have been amazing too Kathy, silly question, but do you collect the seed.

I was thinking of it Dawn but grew this one from mixed seed and every one came up this colour,while I do like it was hoping for a few different colours, googled them and said named varieties rarely come true from seed so probably best to buy seed for specific varieties.

I grew from my seed but waiting to see what colour they will be. Easy to divide the plants though, in fact, I think they like being moved. The ones I moved have done better than my original one.

Yes I tried to move some Dawn and ended up with them in both places:-), let us know whether yours are the colour they're supposed to be.

I will Kathy, the ones I grew from seed are in bud. Stunning arent they, my salmon pink ones are lighting up a patch at the moment.
