Nice though, they will not grow for me in my garden for some reason, have tried plants, have tried seed, get the leaves but no flowers, strange. Maybe it is because the soil is clay I do not know what they like, any idea for me please Mushy. Like them very much, think they would look nice but not had any luck at all with them.

I have clay soil being in darkest Norfolk so not sure other than they do get quite a bit of sun during the middle of the day if that's any help

I have mine in full sunshine but think probably too many plants around competing with them for them to be a success. Maybe I should try a different one, will have another go next year, thanks for the advice Mushy, much appreciated.

Very nice colored flowers! I believe there's many varieties of this plant. I've seen several colored flowering plants here.
