Planted this last year. It's not flowering prolifically, but it is a gorgeous colour. I think these sometimes take a little while to establish properly....in my garden anyway.

I've still got to get this one

I put this one in last year Karen and it hasn't grown very much in size, but as you say, it may take a while. I have very sandy soil so retaining adequate moisture is my biggest problem.

Ah yes, well this is in a moist spot, so not that problem. I suppose you have to add a lot of mulch Muddy? I found that a couple of tons of spent mushroom compost worked wonders on my borders!

Oh yes! 24 bags of well rotted horse manure in my garage as we speak - car relegated to the driveway. Got to get your priorities right eh? :-))

I love the colour of this one Karen, they do take a while to get going...I have 'maxima' and this year i had to chop it up quite a bit...but they are great plants....
