I bought it from T&M a couple of months ago...Its been on sale for a while...I paid £1.99 for 3 plugs + pp....(on offer)..It hasnt flowered yet...but im delighted with the price i paid...£15.99 now for 3 plugs.....(i wouldnt have got them for that price if T&M had known it would win Flower of the Year)....:>)

We've got to pay for the extra milage it does to get here M - hence an extra £1 a plant!!!!!
In fact - I'm not entirely convinced it's that new a plant -I'm sure they have had it before!!

I have just been reading up on it...Charles Valin is the breeder for T&M and has had success since 2006...Its been on sale through T&M website, QVC, Tesco and in newspapers, the Daily Mail, Express and The Telegraph...So i agree its been about for a while now M...:>)

I fancy one, but have too many tender plants already!
I'm not too optimistic that this will be hardy without a fair bit of protection - it's a cross between Digitalis purpurea and Isoplexis canariensis.............

Thats right Meanie....Supposed to be completely hardy...Im going to leave one in the ground and take the potted one indoors...:>)
