Another plant inherited from my dad but again he had no idea what it is. The seedheads are looking ready to collect so I thought I'd better find out what it is!
Sisyrinchium can be annuals or rhizomatous perennials forming a clump of narrowly sword-shaped leaves with erect stems carrying solitary or clustered, star-shaped or bell-shaped flowers in spring or summer
Got that from the RHS website. So do I treat is as an annual or as a perrenial? Should I be collecting seeds and sowing or....or???
Haha, no wonder my dad was getting rid of them! They are currently in pots on the patio so not sure they'll have anywhere to set! Should I plant them somewhere? I've got 4 of them.
I've got some of these L2L, seedlings appeared for the first time this year (or at least I noticed them for the first time). I potted some up in June and they are decent size plants now. You can divide them too. They are great plants, definitely 'keepers', look great dotted amongst stuff at the front of the border or in gravel beds.
(This isn't my own garden, it's a scheme I did for work).

Mine was a bit that my mum gave me from her garden, it's not that big yet, so I haven't tried to propagate it, (I managed to kill the last one she gave me 😕) but fingers crossed I will keep this one alive!

itself. Doesn’t need any encouragement 😂 just look out for babies next year and move them to where you want them. 😊
