    It is a swizz

    These must be quick and cheap to propagate Dove, you never see C. coum in 6 packs at the GC.

    Odd really as both Cc hederifolium and coum self propagate in my garden like weeds. Mind they do take a bit longer to reach flowering size than these mini-persicum types. In a normal winter here  those do not eve make it to the end of September!

    These persicum also have bigger flowers which will go down well with the buying public.

    I agree Berghill,  coum, hederifolium and now I think cilicium are reproducing like mad here. 

    I may have got some sort of hybrid as well. Just the one plant, very different to anything else, silvery leaves, hederifolium shaped

  • Going back to forysythia folks - is it ok. to prune it at this time of the year,

    as I didn't get around to it in the Autumn and it grew very tall last year?

    I really wouldn't prune now - you'll lose the flowers that are forming now.  

    Prune out old flowered shoots when they've flowered. image
