Trifolium rubens

like that very much :O)

Me too Olive. Amazing for a clover.

A day or two ahead of mine

Different habit for a Clover, erect, about 2 1/2 ft. Really stands out in the border when in flower.

Was going to say it looks very large 2 1/2 ft, nice!!

Some you win, some you lose, Andrew.
Simbad, I think I must have originally grown from seed.

great colour I must be going through purple plum phase lol

This was one of the first plants I added to the last garden, but sadly it just got too big for it's situation and had to go. But I really loved it in its first year when it gave such a lovely display. I'll add it to my faves, because it might come in useful here later....for filling a big gap in the raised bed.

Whoo the bigger the better, sounds wonderful.

I will see if it produces seed, usually dead head, when the flowers are finished.

Thank you. I'm at the stage now where ... lupins looking a bit tatty but need to collect seed, foxgloves, well still OK but I will leave them to seed around so will look a mess for a while, aquilega - gone over but it would be nice for Nora Barlow to seed around. The joys of gardening.

Saw this many years ago in an NGS garden was taken with it then.......quite special.
