I love this - it is so delicate.

It only has a few flowers :(

What a pity - they are lovely. I like the ones with a bluey colour.

My Lady Boothby has excelled herself. She is huge and blowsy, with lots of flowers. I know I asked you about her before, but can you advise me as to how much I should cut back over winter? Thanks.

Leave her alone, and then in the spring you can cut back to where the new growth sprouts from,
or to a suitable height if she doesn't die back at all.

How tall has she grown ? I had one that grew over 6 feet once.
My Peter Pan is about 7 feet tall this year.

She's about 5' tall, and is spreading about 3' across, with lots of long stems - the central one is quite woody. She was only about 10 inches last year! Thanks for the advice :-)
