Looking good Tet. This is a really good old fashioned garden plant isn't it. I think we sometimes forget that the reason they were so popular is they were so good. I have had a geum Mrs Bradshaw flowering its socks off all season. Common, but what good value! Puts a lot of my fancy plants to shame:-)

I agree BA..in fact Ive just bought a series of seeds of this type of plant, yellow, scarlet, mauve pink, and the Monarch's V. Everyone loves this so Im hoping to encourage the locals by selling them..if they grow for me of course!!

Are the perennials or shrubs Tet? :-)

Perennials, BA..I know the shrubs are popular and I might try them another time..but I do love these plants, which actually clamber thru stuff beautifully..they are much "taller" than you think..I say "taller" cos they tend to grow sideways and up rather than directly up.

I may be one of your customers then, not so keen on the shrubs:-)

If Im successful, I will save one for a memory corner for you! Not sure if the ankle is a great memory lol, but perhaps we could "settle out of court" with one?? LOL!
