I wish I had more - I got this at Beth Chatto's Nursery a few years ago - in a pot. I've tried with bulbs, (failure!) so I think it might be one that needs to be planted while 'in the green'...

That's a beauty alright. According to my RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers They can be propogated by division in spring or autumn.

Oh no - please don't bother - we hope to visit our son soon - and he lives quite near Beth Chatto - so I'll call into her Nursery. What a good excuse! Hehehe....

Thanks, Linda - yes, it is - but not easy to get it going! I was hoping for a few more flowers this year.
