    Oh Lyn that will be wonderful thank you so much and that's amazing how your seeds all grew! How did you go about sowing them? I divided a lot of mine and brought them with me to to our new home and they have all survived, so pleased.  I love them image

    I will pm you thank you xx

    I sowed some in the autumn when you first sent them and some a couple of weeks ago, they are both identical size now so wont be bothering with the worry of Autumn sowings again. Just sowed in the normal way, seed compost lightly covered.

    I dont suppose they will flower this year but will have loads of bigger plants for next year. I can wait!!image
