Self-set Verbena bonariensis

Ah yes, that's a good illustration of the difference in our climates. Here I cannot overwinter a V. Bon. I bought V. Bon 'Lollipop' this year, which is said to be much hardier...fingers crossed!

Love these they flower for ages :o)))

Janey would you mind sending me a few seeds if you have any to spare, I tried to raise this last year and failed but would like to give it another go;0)

It self seeds here to Janey it always seems to look perfect wherever it grows :-))

Strange thing is Karen, the plants in the garden haven't done too well, it's the seeds that germinated in the wet spring in between paving slabs etc that have really flourished. Let's hope your lollipop copes better with your damp Angus climate.

They do Planta.....been covered in butterflies too today....:0)).

Home bird and Carole, can send you both seeds in a few weeks??

Yes Kathy, I love the spindly stems with the purple tufts wafting about.....

Love these.
