i'm amazed these flowered Mate, still there's always next year :-) your on hols soon arn't you Mate?

Yes On Saturday :))))))))))))

I love these too,S.lad..easily divided too,aren't they? ...
Wonder if the snails got yours early in the growing season,Paul? ..I used to find a few round the base,when they were just emerging,and then they always seem ok..

Not sure Bloomer - thinking of a conifer to replace though

They are such pretty flowers and a wonderful colour blue, mine flowered in the shade I have got them in a barked area no slugs ever get them.

Thanks Bloomer Yes easy to divide :-)

conifer's are a nice idea Paul, hope you have a great time on your hols Mate.

Thanks Sixpence, yes these are in a hot place with some of my grasses :-)

Cheers SL :))

They're lovely. Might try 6d' idea of shade and bark if that stops the slugs - running out of sunny spots anyway.

Thanks Tuesdaybear, good luck with the bark let me know if it works..
