Back in bloom.
Glad that I went to the trouble of digging it up to store it for the winter.

It's a gem of a plant Surreylad - shame that it's another that never seems to set seed.....

I bought 3 of these about a month ago Meanie...isnt it wonderful?....So i should lift them for winter...What about cuttings, have you tried them?

It's an absolute stunner isn't it!
Andrewr says that they strike easily from cuttings, although mine didn't take.
Cover your options, as you have more than one.

It's a beauty!
I just can't believe that mine survived this winter? I collected lots of seeds, which are growing in their little pots!

To the best of my knowledge this is the only one with the black stems, so well done!
