Hello Bloomer, mine was from Morrisons, great arent they, anything that keeps on flowering is a favourite.

I agree..I didn't realise it would spread so much,as I had no idea of the name,so I planted it in a trough with summer bedding..it's taken over,but still so lovely..I might leave it,as it came through the winter ok,as a tiny plant..do you think I should pot it up,and put it under cover,or would you risk leaving it out? Maybe I could take cuttings,or split it? decisions,decisions...

Decisions decisions! I'm intrigued myself, googled and found this -
Best in full sun and free-draining soil, cut back to about 1ft / 30cm in early winter and then prune out old stems in March leaving a neat mound of new foliage about 4"
Easy to strike from cuttings. If these are taken in January and given a little bottom heat you will have flowering plants by early summer.
Will self seed abundantly if allowed.

Bloomer - I have a memory like a sieve so I will need to make a note in my diary on its care. I might take a few now, anyway.
