I first grew that when Roy Lancaster said it was one of his favourite plants. It has an ethereal quality to it. It also gently seeds about a bit once established, but not in a thuggish fashion. The single one is much better than hewitts double in my opinion.
Yes I'm hoping to grow both the pink & white single varieties. So far I've got one 6" seedling (the pink variety) from an autumn sowing and one white one that has just emerged from a spring sowing. I wasn't even aware there was an 'alba' variety until @Fire posted a photo of one last year.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
Moving away from fruit & veg, I'm having a go at Thalictrum delavayi this year. I first saw one in someone's garden in the Buxton Garden Trail last year and was blown away. Couldn't find plants in any local GC or nurseries so I'm trying from seed.
I've been looking for some new perennials this year and came very close to choosing Thalictrum. I'm keeping it on my list in case this year's a miss.
I growing a few new plants this year . Razania Japonica looks like a pink hellebore - Pteridophyylum racemosum ( only took 5 mins to find spelling of it ) interesting plant looks like a fern but it a poppy - Amsonia ernst pagels late spring blue / autumn foliage . I did have amenopsis alba cost me a arm and a leg weren't expecting it in growth in January ended up losing it . Gloriosa flame lily and achimenes for bulbs . And just different variety's of plants I've already grown .
I grown thalictrums from seed before quite easy going . For plants might went to look a Thalictrum Splendide I believe they are sterile so will flower longer . I have thalcitrum anne also.
@Jess91 You'll need are largish plant for echincea if you want to plant out this year ideally 2Litre up but you may get away a good healthy 1Litre plant, young plants are often very prone to slug damage .

Musk strawberries from seed - teeny seedlings so far but hope they grow well and produce fruit.
And possibly I will try alstroemeria again because third time's the charm, right...🙄
