Its such a useful plant at this time of year, I love it, it does really well in small spaces too. The only problem I have with it is it flops over somewhat in my garden, but it is kind when I push it back it seems to stay where I put it. lol. Good for softening the edges of pathways isn't it? lovely and cheerful :O)

Thank you Barbara, they are perfect for this space, I think.
We have got heavy rain here at the minute, it is much needed, as long as it stops before I leave for school. :)))

Thank you Barbara. :)))

Shahida, they are beautiful, but beware they are extremely invasive, they get everywhere, and grow in the space of other plants too. They can get big very quickly and push other plants out of the way. It is almost impossible to get rid of them completely. But I still love them, I have large amount of them all over the garden. They make very good gap fillers for life, even the tiniest of root planted in whatever the weather, settles in quickly.
