Your tupa is looking incredible......how old is your plant? you have a !ot more flowers than I have, also is it in full sun, sorry to ask so many questions!!

Thanks everyone :-)
I grew the Tupa from seed 4 years ago Dd after losing all my plants in the cold winters , times like that that being an obsessive seed collector is good lol, there are a couple of plants here growing in full sun on heavy clay , they're aroud 4 ft , but the really best ones, grown at the same time, are again in a sunny spot but in really sandy soil we brought in when we built , they're 6ft!!

OK......we have a lot more leaf and stem.......need more flowers, only planted it this year..... perhaps asking too much lol.:-!

I grew mine from amys seed too about four years ago and I'm amazed they keep reappearing. Mine are in clay, part shade, about three feet tall, one flower, still closed.

The seeds go round and round don't they Dawn I sent seed to Amy !!
Mine didn't have any flowers till the second year Dd but that was from seed of course, this year is the best they've been so far, don't know why it hasn't been particularly warm, till now! :-)
