I've grown the purple ones and they get to about 2 - 3 feet which I think is the norm?They struggle a bit unless I have them in a drier spot, but the slugs love them too. The ones I put in here have been eaten - I think there's one small plant trying to survive - but not managing very well... Don't mention Chinese whispers Dove - there's enough of that on the site just now
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That's my point ... it depends where the information comes from ... and incorrect information spreads like Chinese whispers ...
especially if it comes from " the nation's favourite gardener" or " the horticultural guru" etc etc. I've grown it , on and off, for about 30 years and have never had one significantly surpass the height given by RHS.
Very stormy and wet last night and more rain earlier this morning. Think I have some to spare now. The grass is starting to green up again. It hasn't been cut for weeks.
Morning/Afternoon all. Wet and windy here. My poor plants will be thinking they are in a nightmare - some of them were ‘born’ into the warm weather and haven’t known anything else. I haven’t checked my Sunflowers yet as they out of view from the house, but expect my canes have not been adequate.
Went to a party last night and a BBC Weatherman was there! He didn’t do a report for us though!
Right, still in PJs and Sunday lunch is at 1 so better get going!

Do they provide photographic evidence of a 5ft liatris?
I'll stick with RHS

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Morning all.
Internet went off yesterday evening, just come back.
I'm off to do some tidying in the garden before it gets hot. Was only 12° this morning. I slept so much better.

I like that new clematis Dove.
