Lucky there was a 'cy' or my comment would have been flagged. Lol.

Lol yes mate :-)

2 May, 2013

 

I thought they were all annuals?

2 May, 2013

 

No mate there are some nice perennial ones too, this is one of them I have I think 3 now.

2 May, 2013

 

That's another option for me to consider for next year.
Very interesting!

2 May, 2013

 

Good to have choices mate :-)

3 May, 2013

 

This year it was a matter of chucking in what I could find to get in a bit of colour for summer.
I believe it's called blind panic. Lol.
I'll be better prepared next year.
Live & learn, eh?

Best way mate :-)

Yes your right Hb, they do tend to spread a bit, but I just lift and divide like you a bit ruthless, the yellow one is it c.dealbata? I've just planted out some seedlings of that one.

5 May, 2013

 

Sorry not dealbata , although i have sown seed of that one too, I meant c.macrocephala

5 May, 2013

 

Ok :-)
