Another good value for money one Marguerite !
Same with its flowering, deadheading increases it beautifully :)

Is this a hardy one?

It is here Bornagain but i'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that my garden's not normal !!!
I seem to have things overwintering here that other people don't !!!

I'm putting it down to the fact that i have poor thin soil here and plants don't get cold wet feet in winter (aswell as a mild climate).
Good drainage is essential to get a lot of perennials to live through winter, especially a cold one like last winter.

I've got sort of clay;-(

Hmmm !
I think it might suffer from cold wet feet in winter and turn its toes up !
