Lovely pic, Lily! Is he/she planted in the ground? Can't you move into a frost-free place? Or, do you always leave this in the garden to "ride it out"?

No I have (had!) 4 of them in pots this year David. In the past 2 years I've been unsuccessful at overwintering them both in greenhouse and indoors so this year I've just brought one indoors (no room for more) to try again. Andrewr manages to overwinter his indoors as he explains in his latest blog so it can be done!

So beautiful grass, and annual. What a pity!

Hi Tate, yes they are beautiful and I have actually managed to overwinter one indoors this time! Third time lucky :o))
