I have a baby one of these - it has been fun watching the big bud develop - like the plant in 'Little Shop of Horrors' ;-)

Do they like being at the back of a sunny border near brick wall?
26 Aug, 2008
Errrr.... mine is in the sunniest border, but it is right in the middle and nowhere near a wall, Gwenda! It just... grows, I don't do anything except dead-head and cut the stem back when it's finished. It pops back up in the spring. That is of NO USE to you as advice, sorry!

The top part is a purple-y colour, Np.
Funnily enough, it hasn't grown nearly as tall this year. It's in bud at the moment.

No, it's always purple, Np. Funny they are both smaller, though!

me to how long do i leave it.till it starts falling apart and how do i get the seeds ready ? i dont want a lot do i spritz lol ?
6 Jul, 2009
I haven't a clue, as I've always dead-headed it so that new flowers appear in the side-shoots. Then when they die off, I chop them off to tidy the plant up!
