a beauty for sure

Beautiful!
Don't you love waking up to nice "gifts" like that?

Thanks Lil definitely do:)

Great series of shots.

It looks the same as one of mine Nana-d, Lovely dark red leave's, Im still waiting for my other 2 to flower, a red and a yellow, flipping gorgeous..

Thanks Oldgunner, and YDD tempted to buy another one next year they are lovely:)

See how this one overwinters then go for it :) What have you planted with it?

Hi YDD, Just on it's own in a big blue pot, gonna have to put it somewhere sheltered in the winter and mulch it and even maybe put a fleece over it what do you do with yours over the winter??

gorgeous colour...like it...:))

me too!

Thanks Crissue and Lulu it has been raining all night by the look of things this morning and I am so glad I took a picture first thing yesterday cos it is looking very sad and soggy this morning:(

Ooooh sounds gorgeous, the blue pot :) I dont overwinter them Nana d :( gave up trying, thats why i dont buy if there not on some sort of offer, too expensive to treat as an annual. I hope you have better luck than me :)

I'll give it a go this winter mine was half price at homebase it think so if it doesn't survive I will do the same as you and look for a bargain again:)

At our previous house, we had some corkers, and they multiplied every year... they really looked good...Never did anything except cut them back and lay their own stems and leaves over the top...Then one year nothing....lost the lot...I was shocked...haven't had them since...but we have downsized since then...just thought I'd share that little one with you...:)))

I would of been gutted Crissue, they are lovely plants, big and showy but, lets face it, they dont belong up here in the NE of England, poor things :)))
If i have room in my Greenhouse Nana d i might give them a go, use more fleece,straw this time..

Hi Crissue, that is a sad story especially when they were doing so well:( Hi YDD definitely going to give it a go and if I am unsuccessful will look around for when the bargains are about and get another one because they look sooooooooo lovely:)

I sure was Ydd...never mind it happens...even in France...
Nana
Just protect it all you can...keep it well covered, and fingers x'd you'll be showing another gorgeous pic...:)))

I grew them from seed 3 year ago and they flowered the same year,but weren't as big as bought one's, still lovely tho :) lost those as well lol..

aww :(((
