It will be TT when all the flowers are blooming it will be a flaming pole !! Home made Dawn naturally , we gardeners don't spend money if we can help it we prefer to spend it on plants ;o)

We clicked at the same time Slad, this has been outside all winter I'm amazed it has come through it so well , we put the pot behind a shed in a sheltered position , we probably wouldn't have been so lucky if it had been a hard winter ....

Oh, I wish I could get this to grow for me. I have three bits that just sit there and never really get going.

Did you grow it from seed initially Amy? I have often seen it when browsing in the seed department, may give it a go next year, especially as its hardy too;0)
