Ooops! sorry Hazelanne. I don't know the answer to your question but clicked submit by mistake. lol. The Gunnera sounds a lovely idea if it's not too large. Edit: Now my original blank message has disappeared. I think I'm losing plot. lol

Candelabra primulas are gorgeous and come in a range of colours from peach to deep cerise. Also try Astilbes and Siberian irises, which come in all sorts of designs these days - I've got a spectacular yellow one.

Also Ligularia, which has yellow flws. And what's the one with the big leaves beginning with G...............???

ow if you have room a gunnera is something to behold with about 6-8 foot leaves on it. stunning if you can fit it in there and grows well. you put the cut down leaves over the growing tip in winter.
