I love this plant too P. It has really come into vogue in the last two years, before that I couldnt find it anywhere. I managed to get 6 plants from seed this year, worthwhile as I think they look much better en masse. It was a favourite of the late Christopher Lloyd, who famously underplanted them with bright red bishop llanduf dahlias - lovely! I too would love to see more pictures of your garden, it looks idyllic.

Thank you, have grown V.bonariensis for about 15 years it selfseeds everywhere and they overwinter as well so I just weed a path through! :o)

What a beautiful plant. I'm glad you put a full name to it, as I haven't seen this grown where I live in New Zealand, so will now be able to go online to some of the nurseries & see if they are selling it.

If you can't find the plants it grows really easily from seed. :o)
