And later you'll have masses of seed! Mine is growing beside Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' in one bed, and (by chance) with magenta Lychnis in another . . . very pretty wherever :)

Very nice Karen.. will this tolerate shade?

It's certainly fine in dappled shade, Gralew - not sure about dense shade though.

Btw, see the price below at Burncoose? Ridiculous!

They are very expensive, but their plants are good, and service excellent. I only use them when I can't get something anywhere else...partly because of price, but also because moving a plant from way down south to here is a bit much for them!

They are really similar flowers!

Thanks hun, I had a quick look for the label last night with no luck. Anyway it was £1.50 from Morrisons last year and it's big now :o)

It's been rubbish in there for the last couple of weeks......apart from the Alstroemeria :o)
