    excellent, I'll be buying both sorts, there is the pink and the gold, be nice if we can keep up to date with these 'miracles' lol! More to the point, come autumn, can we get more plants! Look forward to seeing the results. regards

  • Bugger. They floer the pop their clogs? I thought tgey kept coming back image
  • Errrmm.... mine all died - T & M have offered me replacements - "Which" report that they are not true perennials.....

    They're certainly not hardy perennials which is what they were originally said to be.

  • Yep as per the other thread, my very large plant didn't over winter. 

    I would advise anyone with them this year to treat as half hardy and keep them in pots rather than in the ground, and plan to overwinter in a greenhouse/coldframe or something. (bare in mind i'm in newcastle so you may have more luck down south image )

    Oh dear, mine finally arrived and are now in the groundimage

  • I purchased three of each colour last year and pleased to say the pink one has co me into growth and are romping away again but my gold ones only few feet away in same bed look like all three are dying off. Have any of you seen a difference in growth habits of the two colour types . Lifted one but no sign of pest attack I am puzzled

  • I have one that I bought as a perennial three years ago and the new leaves are up and growing fast already. When I bought it at the GW show I was advised by the dealer that they last longer than biennial but won't last that long.
