I buy lots of plants at the market, unlabelled...even if they tell me what they are at the time, I've forgotten by the time I get home!

Pixi...I think I've got room for them in every colour they come in!

I have a red one Karen, not in flower yet. I used to have a purple one too, I think I remember moving it and am sure it must have been eaten by slugs...some things never change!!

How true, Scottish...I've got to be very vigilant when things start to come through...or I can lose the tops off everything in a matter of days...that's what happened to most of my liatris...
