    Here you go @TheGreenMan


    It's been flowering for a good while now - at around 18 inches/2 feet, but there's flowers at different heights. I'd expect it to be a bit taller next year too.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thanks @zugenie 👍🏼😊

    That’s lovely @Fairygirl
    Is it worth getting now to give it a head start for next year?

    Do you have smell? Some scenty things are always good. I inherited some tiny pinks in gypsy caravans...long story...and the smell is delicious every time I walk past them. The 'caravans' are long gone but I've kept the pinks going simply for the smell. 👃

    My hanging baskets smell 😂 (nice) 

    My euphorbia Honey Pot smells lovely. 

    I get hay fever from spring to mid summer so I can only smell stuff on days when my nose isn’t full of crap.

    Here it is @Plantminded

    I’m 5 feet 6 and it’s the same height at the moment. It’s also decided it needs to lay down on the gravel!

    Thank you @TheGreenMan, I like them a lot but was keen to find something that didn't need staking.  According to Hardy's where I bought my A. Credo, it will reach a height of 60cm, and so far is keeping sturdy!  I like the floaty flowerheads!
