My dear old Nan had this growing in a thin, dry border beneath her front room window and it was beautiful to see. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be grown too much around here now.

I do Sue,and I have clumps of it all over both front and back gardens :o)
Shirley,I haven't seen it growing anywhere else around here,as I found it growing wild on a back lane,when I used to take my daughter to Nursery,40 years ago ??? .I wonder if it had seeded from another garden nearby? Anyway,I pinched a tiny piece,so I guess I've helped conservation a bit,in a naughty way...Lol. x

Sandra, I love your thinking re. helping conservation!!

Shirley, Isn't that just what the plant/seed gatherers did years ago ,but travelling to countries all over the World ?? I only needed to go on our back lane to be environmentally friendly .! lol..
