Nice one, Sid.
but I'll make the same remark to you,
as I did for one of Peter's pictures the other day....
For a keen gardener, you have AMAZINGLY clean finger nails. LOL

Over here in the States it is labeled kong coleus 'giant rose', from the Kong series plants. There is also a Kong 'giant red', this one doesn't have the fuschia pink in the center of each leaf. Hope this helps.

It's got a flower bud in the centre. One of the others at the stall had already opened and it was a very pretty pale blue. :-)

Thanks F1 - I did look on the web to see if I could ID it. Didn't see any that looked like this one, but I did see the Kong Series plants. Maybe it's a new one?

I really think I might try one, I'll just have to hope that poor Henry does not get affected by it too! He does chase the cats out if the 'trespass' when he's in the garden, but they come when they feel like it and leave presents for me...

Well, they seem to work OK. I know one moggie jumped over the fence, brushed against the plant and seemed to go ballistic getting rid of the smell. Seems to stick in thier fur

Hi Muddyboots - welcome to GoY! We've had lots of discussions about keeping various animals out of our gardens on the site. Does your plant really work? By the way, I am just like you where buying plants is concerned...Will always fall for something new and lovely - even if I haven't really got room!
