Red one this time replacing the one that disappeared..
So I put it with the pink and purple
There is a different pink somewhere too..
My favourites are the blue and white.

Very pretty. I like the bottom ones.
I've eventually pulled out my reds as they have finished. They were growing for a couple of years and cut back regularly but have finally come to the end of their life.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

I know what you mean Gail.. The other red ones have gone to God that I planted in late 2000 while we were building the house I remember they came in a punnet of eight, no such thing now though most punnet only have four in them and the Perennials come in single plants

I have the red one, gets to over a metre tall 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

| The blue and white are really lovely, Mary- Anne, but I have tried twice now to grow the blue and failed, though any wonder with the sort of heat we are having now? |

Thanks Betty sorry to hear that, I love the blue and white best as they preform well here in this warm climate they last about three years sometimes longer..
I just want them to grow decent roots Cheryl they could be too old to..
