    @KeenOnGreen @thevictorian Thankyou both for your thoughts. National Trust take great pride in their plant sales. I think this is a tough plant and I feel confident thanks to your imput that it will be fine.

    Quick update, the main plant literally “fell apart” when I moved it a few weeks ago, but now I have dozens of small “babies”. All have fantastic roots so fingers crossed for more around the water feature this summer.

     @Jacquimcmahon All Sisyrinchiums split easily. When planting the one thing they hate is being too deep.
    My favourite is S. Biscutella, I don't know of another plant with flowers of that colour, it is planted with Thyme Foxley.

    I'm another fan of Biscutella, so pretty and subtle.

    We have lost all of our Sisyrinchiums over the years, a shame as they are lovely plants. Our favourite was S. Palmifolium, sometimes known as the Bird of Paradise Sisyrinchium.

    Oh off to look for more. Shame on you all…. Encouraging my curiosity! 😃
