    I used to have Westwood white @B3, that's classed as a hardy one .

    That wasn't mine. It was blue in the middle @AnniD 😊

    That looks like the one but am I willing to pay a tenner? Under £8 is my limit for plants. Totally stupid when I spend more than that on a bottle of wine😐

    Trouble is, plant prices are rising so quickly along with everything else, plus the delivery costs. I was looking at hardy geraniums earlier and the postage for one was more than the plant itself, so l ended up buying two 😊

    I gave mine a half-intentional lawnmower prune about a month ago. Think I have finished them off inadvertently.

    I don't like the things much anyway, if I'm honest.

    I wonder if it would be a good idea to repot with part of the stems buried🤔

    I'll try anything once. Got to be worth a go ?

    I cut mine back by a third about 10 days ago and they are making new growth along the stems.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
