Where do they fit into your scheme of things,must admit I cant quite get my head around them,probably just me.
Avon Bulbs have a number of them.

I keep mine in a pot in frost free place over winter. usually sow the seeds in the pot around the plant. Have loads of them now, Must repot next spring.

First time that I've seen this one - lovely!
Particularly like the dark seed pods.

Brian-I like these.The one usually seen,E. bicolor,is hardy here.This one and the other new one to me,E.v.'Octopus',will go in the garage when they have died back just to be safe.I got these at Hyde Hall flower show on Friday and the nurseryman I got them from assured me they were hardy if grown in a very well drained place.
