It's called Grandpa Otts - looks like deep blue with purple in centre. Had them free in a show goody bag and needed an annual climber so there you go. have since found out they can be tricky.
Thanks for that Geoff. very useful thread. So I am a bit early, I was going by the packet. I have only put 6 to soak, plenty more so if they don't do anything I can have another go later on
Geoff , I haven't grown any of those except flying saucers which I really love. but if you've got room , I would grow some of each of them. I'm no genius but I thought they were very easy to grow. All mine successfully germinated and I ended up having to give some away.

Looks like fog coming down
Oooh - sounds nice. Forgot to mention - I didn't sow mine until the end of March last year. Once they're up they grow like triffids.
We have light rain here but think it's going to turn heavy. It's gone really dark.

Make a decision for me

Thanks Jean, If they don't germinate I will come back to you
Just googled Star of Yelta.
It's on my list.
Jean there are three main political parties-which one do I vote for?
Do you think if I put them in a hanging basket it would work??
